Connect2Car: Connected Intelligence — Who Decides in the Intelligent Vehicle
Vehicles now decide, personalize, pay, and update. Connect2Car explores accountability, driver benefits, and business opportunities across six sessions.
With a current of innovation pulsing throughout the world’s largest gathering of consumer technology, CES 2027 provides an ideal setting for exploring what’s next in connected mobility. Join the Mobile Electronics Association & our partners for Connect2Car@CES as we return in 2027 with six cutting-edge sessions.
Start off your CES 2027 agenda at Connect2Car on Wednesday, Jan 6. Presented in partnership with SAE International, COVESA, MEMA, & CAR, the program will encompass topics that touch key areas of connected-vehicle technology, including:
Connect2Car: Connected Vehicle Intelligence
Start off your CES 2027 agenda at Connect2Car on Wednesday, Jan 6. Presented in partnership with SAE International, COVESA, MEMA, & CAR, the program will encompass topics that touch key areas of connected-vehicle technology, including:
- Permission to Act: Agentic AI and Accountability in the Vehicle
Vehicle AI now acts: booking charging, rerouting, spending. What can it do, how is it validated, and who is liable when it fails? Automakers, suppliers, and lawyers.
- Beyond the Dashboard: Rethinking the In-Vehicle Interface
The screen is everywhere now: the glass, the cabin, the exterior, riders’ own phones. How AR, in-cabin sensing, personalization, and gamification reshape the vehicle.
- SDV at Scale: Why Standard Data Decides Who Ships Faster
A door ajar signal means something different on every platform. What common vehicle data models save across programs, and what the industry loses by translating instead.
- Frictionless Mobility: Reimagining In-Vehicle Transactions
In-vehicle payment competes with the phone in the cupholder. What is converting today across charging, tolling, and parking, and who owns the customer when the car pays.
- AI, Cybersecurity, and the Price of Trust in Connected Mobility
Defenders use AI to scan code and detect anomalies across a fleet. So do attackers. What changes when both sides automate, and what security and a breach actually cost.
- From Garage to Global: Scaling Mobility Innovation
Startups move faster than the industry can buy. What turns a pilot into a contract, what investors expect now, and where commercial vehicles offer a faster path.
Connect2Car@CES — now the longest running track at CES — provides market insights for leaders at all levels in the automotive electronics market space. As an attendee, you will hear new ideas, exchange perspectives, and interact with senior engineers, program managers, and technologists from startups, established technology players, aftermarket suppliers, and pure technology enthusiasts who all now regularly convene at CES.
