Driver-centered architecture for future individual mobility
23 Jun 2026
Room 1
Plenary opening session
Personal mobility is the heartbeat of modern life, but the vehicle is undergoing its biggest shift since the assembly line. Imagine a future where mobility finally bends to the driver’s needs, not the other way around. Over the next decade, European drivers will redefine 'good' by demanding charging that just works, ADAS and autonomous features that feel second nature, software that improves daily, and safety that feels human. Our path is clear: technology must evolve toward people. We shouldn’t ask drivers to adapt to technology; we must build technology that finally learns to speak human.
- How you live defines what you drive – lifestyle, cost, convenience and regulation matter more than ever
- SDV buyers expect safe, trustworthy autonomous features and ADAS with seamless updates and human-centric experiences
- Future buyers expect fast, reliable, widespread private and public charging that's grid-friendly with simple, transparent pricing
- A car should still be a joy to drive and to look like a cool reflection of a customer’s personality
