[Background]
As the automotive industry accelerates toward a software-defined vehicle (SDV) future, the evolution of E/E architecture has become the backbone for enabling centralized computing, intelligent driving, and seamless over-the-air services. OEMs and Tier 1/2 suppliers now face mounting pressure to integrate powerful hardware platforms with flexible, scalable software stacks-all while balancing safety, performance, and cost-efficiency.
At the same time, the explosive advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI), particularly breakthroughs in large models for perception, decision-making, and generative tasks, is reshaping E/E architecture design paradigms with unprecedented force. AI is not only key to realizing high-level autonomous driving but is also driving a fundamental shift from distributed to centralized and zonal architectures, accelerating the maturation of Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Zonal Control.
This summit centered on the theme "E/E Architecture Innovation in the Age of AI and SDV", will bring together leading global OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, technology giants, and academic pioneers to explore how next-generation E/E architecture is shaping the foundation of intelligent vehicles; and discuss how AI acts as a central driving force, guiding the next revolution in E/E architecture across computing, communication, power distribution, and hardware-software integration—laying a solid foundation for building more efficient, intelligent, and secure future vehicles.
