Automated Driving Functions from L2+ to L4 – AI in Real-World Operation
The development of automated driving functions is progressing rapidly. AI models, robust redundancy systems and data-centric development processes enable stable automation from L2+ all the way to highly automated L3 and L4 applications., OEMs showcase how AI secures decision-making, reduces uncertainty, and how real-world driving data accelerates the transition to higher automation levels.
Robotaxis & Autonomous Mobility – The Path to the Scalable City
Realistic applications of autonomous mobility in logistics and robotaxis prove that it works. Operational models with business cases are key to scalability. While robotaxis are the most complex of all tasks, human-free logistics increases efficiency already. Meanwhile, suppliers offer a selection of solutions to bring autonomous valet parking into the B2C market. Next step: Solving the First Mover-Problem in the ecosystem across the stakeholders and creating a scalable infrastructure.
Autonomous Logistics Systems for Factory, Port & Airport
Closed environments are also highlighting the value of autonomous systems: AI-driven transport robots manage material flows inside factories, move containers in ports, or handle tasks at airports. Connected infrastructure, precise sensors and fleet orchestration reduce downtime, increase safety, and optimize high-frequency transport processes.
Validation, Testing & Digital Twins for Safe AI Systems
Millions of scenarios, edge-case analyses, and simulation-based test frameworks form the core of modern AI validation. Digital twins expand test coverage and enable reproducible, risk-free assessments. Technology providers and testing organizations demonstrate how new validation architectures enable reliable AI driver-assistance systems.
Functional Safety & Cybersecurity in Automated Vehicles
Rising automation increases requirements for safety and security. SOTIF, ISO-based standards, secure system architectures, and AI-specific risk analyses form the foundation of robust vehicle platforms. Safe-by-Design and Cybersecurity-by-Design are becoming standard for modern, software-defined mobility systems.
Regulation, Homologation & Liability – Concepts for L3 to Robotaxis
The regulatory landscape is fragmented while the markets are global. Who wins the race, which system (regulatory culture) prevails, and which approach is most sustainable with regards to safety, business and overall economic value creation? After all, technological freedom is often acquired with liability and vice versa. Speakers from industry, politics, and regulatory bodies give insight into their respective approaches and strategies and give predictions of markets.
Human–Machine Interaction & AI Design – Trust as a Success Factor
Autonomous systems must communicate clearly and intuitively with humans. HMI concepts, visual signals, and context-dependent UX increase acceptance and safety. Driver monitoring systems support safe handover processes, while robotaxis introduce new exterior and interior communication concepts.
The Software-Defined Vehicle – Data, OTA Updates & AI Engineering
The software-defined vehicle (SDV) is transforming development, operation, and lifecycle management. Data-driven development cycles, OTA updates, and AI-supported diagnostic functions enable adaptable, long-lasting platforms. Cloud and edge architectures form the basis for highly automated functions and continuous improvement.
Review the 2026 Program
Two days of expert insights, real-world case studies and strategic discussions on the future of AI-driven mobility. From automated driving functions and robotaxi concepts to AI validation, cybersecurity, regulation and the software-defined vehicle, the program focused on the key technological and regulatory challenges shaping next-generation mobility systems.

From Vision to Deployment: Mobility & AI Conference 2026
The Mobility & AI Conference 2026 brought together a highly focused group of experts from across the mobility, AI and regulatory ecosystem in Munich. Over two days, the event created an intensive environment for exchange, where OEMs, technology companies, public authorities, research institutions and mobility innovators engaged in open and solution-driven discussions.
What defined this year’s conference was a clear shift in perspective. The conversation is no longer about whether AI will transform mobility, but how this transformation can be implemented at scale.
Across sessions on autonomous systems, regulation, safety, validation and infrastructure, a consistent theme emerged: real progress depends on the ability to connect technological innovation with regulatory clarity and viable business models. Topics such as AI validation, cybersecurity, explainable compliance and the industrialization of autonomous systems highlighted the complexity of moving from pilot projects to real-world deployment.
At the same time, the conference underscored Europe’s unique position. With strong representation from industry, regulators and research, discussions focused on how to turn this ecosystem into a competitive advantage in the global race for AI-driven mobility.
More than anything, the Mobility & AI Conference stood out for the openness and depth of its exchange. It provided a platform where challenges were addressed directly, perspectives were challenged and new connections were formed.
The result: a shared understanding that the path forward is complex, but tangible. The next phase of AI-driven mobility will be defined by implementation, collaboration and the ability to translate vision into scalable reality.
