Intelligent Vehicle Expo

Formerly the Autonomous Vehicle Technology Expo, the rebranded Intelligent Vehicle Expo runs 27–29 October 2026 at the Vibe Credit Union Showplace in Novi, Michigan, as part of Vehicle Tech Week North America. The rename reflects a deliberate broadening: rather than treating autonomy as an isolated function, the event frames vehicle intelligence as something designed, integrated and scaled across the whole software-defined vehicle. AI sits squarely at its centre, described as moving beyond driver assistance into reasoning, supported by hybrid cloud-and-edge computing that balances real-time safety with the human-machine interface.

The programme spans software-defined vehicle architectures, AI-driven systems, over-the-air updates and data-driven learning, with cybersecurity treated as inseparable from functional safety and privacy. Alongside the exhibition floor sits a symposium of technical talks and case studies aimed at sharpening the engineering and business-development acumen of professionals from OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers and the startup community. Organised by UKi Media & Events and paired with the ADAS & Autonomous Vehicle International magazine, it draws exhibitors and speakers shaping production-ready, safety-critical vehicle platforms. For attendees, it is a focused environment to understand how machine learning, perception and autonomy are actually delivered in modern vehicle programmes, and to meet the suppliers and integrators behind them. Novi's location in the heart of the US auto industry makes it a natural draw for the connected and automated mobility community.
