How automotive computing will shape the next vehicle generation SDVs remain an ambition without the right hardware. At AEK 2026, the focus shifted to the computing foundations of the next vehicle generation – from SoCs and chiplets to edge AI, Ethernet and RISC-V, and to the balance between central performance and distributed control.

“ADAS is the primary domain to benefit from virtualization at scale” As SDVs push software complexity and validation demands to new levels, development speed becomes a critical bottleneck. Ford’s Cedric Armand explains how virtualization reshapes software delivery, testing and system integration. Benjamin Müller
“Performance simulation and predictive analysis play a critical role” Balancing performance and functional safety remains one of the toughest challenges in automotive computing. Mercedes-Benz expert Deepak Vedha Raj Sudhakar explains how model-based simulation optimizes SoC design and accelerates ADAS integration. Benjamin Müller
