( PAST PARTNERS )
( THE ISSUES DRIVING US IN 2026 )
AI-Driven Experiences in the Vehicle
The transition to generative, conversational assistants embedded in vehicles—such as Google’s Gemini-based systems—is reshaping driver interaction models. Explore best practices for integrating advanced AI while maintaining safety and minimal distraction.
Open Ecosystems and Third-Party App Innovation
Expanded support for high-quality Android Automotive apps, multi-display use cases, and multi-user frameworks is enabling richer application development. Sessions will cover app compatibility, lifecycle, safety guidelines, and emerging platform APIs.
Platform Performance & Update Strategies
Faster, modular update delivery through collaborations between chipset vendors and Google—plus improved OTA deployments—are critical for long-lifecycle vehicles. Developers and OEMs will gain insights into update architecture, Project Treble adaptations for AAOS, and performance optimizations.
In-Cabin Integration & Multi-Device UI
As automotive UX moves toward screens supporting split views and multi-client capabilities, sessions will explore dynamic UI patterns, safe notification design, and adaptive layouts unique to automobiles.
Security, Privacy & Compliance
In a world of connected data, secure integrations—from cybersecurity best practices to compliance with vehicle safety standards—remain paramount. Talks will address risk mitigation, secure communications, app store policies, and privacy-centric design.
Business Models & Monetization
Developers and OEMs alike will discuss emerging revenue strategies for in-car services—subscriptions, premium features, location-based services, and content marketplaces tailored to the automotive context.
