Intelligent Driver Companions: The Battle for the In-Cabin Experience

Presentation

  1. As vehicles evolve into software-defined platforms, the cabin is becoming the new battleground for user experience, brand loyalty, and recurring revenue. This keynote explores the rise of intelligent driver companions, AI-powered systems that go beyond voice control to deliver emotion-aware, personalized, and proactive engagement. Drawing on real-world examples from Tesla, XPENG, BMW, and Stellantis, Stav Shvartz highlights the core technologies such as driver monitoring systems, generative AI, and sensor fusion, and examines the strategic choice between developing in-house or partnering with tech companies. The talk also analyzes the global race led by China’s vertically integrated automakers and the expanding influence of platforms like OpenAI, Google Gemini, Apple, and Huawei. From wellness monitoring to monetizable ecosystems, this session offers a roadmap for the coming years of transformation and challenges OEMs to rethink their role, not just as manufacturers, but as emotional interface designers. In a machine-driven future, the brands that succeed will be the ones that feel truly human.
