About this event

SDV & AV Silicon Valley Technology Summit — what to expect

SDV & AV Silicon Valley Technology Summit is Automotive IQ's summit on software-defined vehicles and autonomous vehicle technology. The 2026 edition is in Santa Clara, venue to be confirmed.

Programming covers software-defined vehicle architectures, AV stacks, AI in automotive, and the OEM-supplier relationships behind modern vehicle software.

Audience is automotive-industry-specific: OEMs, Tier 1s, AV stack vendors. Less applicable to teams outside automotive but very relevant to robotics teams adjacent to AV stacks.

Why it matters for Robot.com

Three reasons to track this event

  1. SDV architectures inform robotics platforms

    The software-defined vehicle pattern — central compute, zonal architecture, OTA updates — is directly applicable to robotics fleet platforms.

  2. AV stack patterns

    AV teams have solved problems that robotics teams are now hitting: safety case management, fleet learning, perception stack hardening. Talks here compress that learning curve.

  3. Specific to Silicon Valley AV ecosystem

    Closer to robotics-adjacent automotive teams than the larger ADAS expo. Higher signal per session for SV-based robotics teams.

How to work the show

A playbook for the team on the ground

  • Attend the SDV architecture and AV stack tracks.
  • Skip OEM-specific platform sessions unless evaluating a partnership.
  • Use the small size to meet AV software engineers — strong recruiting source.
