Automotive Technology Show

Dr Sieber Halle - Stadt Halle, Sinsheim 

29-30 September 2026 

​

The Automotive industry continues the ongoing transformation of the automobile from a product that is mainly hardware-based to a software-centric electronic device on wheels.   

​

Automotive Technology Show, provides a unique expo, congress and  networking showcase created by Automotive professionals for their peers.

​

The exhibition is split in an outdoor area, and indoor exhibition hall featuring  special zoned areas including: 

​

Data Lifecycle Zone:

Recorders, data-storage, data-lake, processing/analytics tools.

​

HiL & Stimulation Zone:

Sensor injection,
HiL benches, test rigs.

​

SDV & Networks Zone:

Automotive Ethernet/TSN, PTP/XTSS, zonal compute demonstrators.​​

​

Outdoor Vehicle Exhibit:

On-board vehicle testing set ups, Autonomous vehicles

The Perfect Expo & Congress for Automotive Development Professionals

​

​

The event provides automotive professionals with the tools and the knowledge to assist in the newly required development processes of the entire vehicle's architecture. The Show has key focus topics including, AD, ADAS, SDV, In Cabin Experience, Drive by Wire,
In Cabin Montoring, Infotainment and
Zonal Architecture

​

Two focused days on scenario-based testing, Euro NCAP 2026 readiness, ASAM OpenX/OpenLABEL interoperability, HiL raw-data replay and SDV compute pipelines.

 

The Organizers of Automotive Technology Show, invites all automotive professionals from vehicle OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, start-ups and engineering organisations. ​

​

We welcome a broad range of engineering professionals at all levels.  ADAS/AD engineers, researchers, SDV architects along with AI specialists, data engineers, software developers, vehicle architects, management and c-level, policymakers, academics, and automotive technology enthusiasts. ​

Call For Papers, Submit Your Abstract for Peer Review and Present.

​

High-Quality Datasets & Virtual Validation:

 

Reliable datasets and standardized
simulation frameworks remain the backbone of ADAS/AD development. The focus shifts from data quantity to quality, traceability, and interoperability between data management and validation platforms.

​

AI-Generated Corner Cases:

​

Automated edge-case generation using AI
accelerates robustness testing and shortens validation loops. Integration into HiL and simulation workflows becomes key for scenario diversity and reproducibility.

 

Collaborative & Cooperative Perception:

 

Vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-
infrastructure perception enhances safety
and redundancy. The next wave of validation will emphasize synchronization, trust, and data integrity across fleets.

​

Trustworthy and Explainable AI:

 

OEMs and suppliers must ensure
transparency and accountability in machine-learning pipelines. Explainability, traceable data origins, and automated auditability become regulatory expectations.

Tele-Operation & Remote Assistance:

 

As Level-4 systems mature, tele-operation
serves as a critical fallback for complex
environments. Seamless connectivity, latency management, and human-in-the-loop control are emerging test priorities.

 

Zonal & Central Compute Architectures:

 

Migration toward zonal architectures drives new requirements for data routing, timing, and validation. Deterministic communication and modular compute verification will dominate system testing strategies.

 

Euro NCAP 2026 Readiness:

 

The upcoming Euro NCAP protocols demand harmonized data pipelines, virtual testing, and KPI traceability. Collaboration between data management, HiL, and AI teams will define competitive readiness.

 

Regulation & Data Sovereignty:

 

Evolving standards (UNECE R155/R156,
national data strategies, OpenX frameworks) require integrated compliance. Companies that manage secure, standardized data flows gain clear market advantage.​

​

In-Vehicle Networks:

 

Popular automotive networking technologies include Automotive Ethernet, which is quickly replacing other popular automotive networking technologies such as CAN, CAN- FD, LIN, and DDR.

​

Embedded Systems:

 

ECU development, and platform archetypes for SDVs.

 

Software & DevOps:

 

CI/CD, DevSecOps, cloud-native approaches, OTA/SOTA, and SaaS models for continuous software evolution.

​

Validation, Standards & Compliance

 

Software testing, toolchains, electromagnetic compatibility, and adherence to ASAM and automotive software standards.

ASAM OpenODD, OpenSCENARIO, UNECER155/R156, Euro NCAP Virtual Testing

​

Connectivity & Experience:

 

Connected vehicle services, 5G and beyond, in-vehicle UX, personalization, and data exchange frameworks.
