CARIAD at IAA 2021: Five reasons to visit our booth

IAA Mobility 2021 is a major opportunity for us at CARIAD to show the world what we’re made of. Mobility is changing and, with software playing a more and more critical role in the industry, we’re undertaking an ambitious yet exciting task. With 4,500 employees now working on our new unified software platform and solutions, we’re making strong progress and are well on our way to transforming automotive mobility.

At our booth at IAA Mobility, you’ll be able to get a strong sense of this transformation. We may not be presenting a show car, but there are still plenty of exciting reasons to visit our booth.

1.    Hear about the future of automotive software from the experts

We believe that it’s time to reshape the car experience for everyone, everywhere. In the future, the car will become a smart mobility companion, always connected to the cloud. Our software solutions will make the driving experience safer, more sustainable and more comfortable in a new way.

Throughout the week, various digital experts at CARIAD will be giving insightful presentations on our vision of the future of automotive mobility. Hear from Alexis Trolin, Head of Solution Train E³ 2.0 Architecture, about our vision for one unified software platform. Learn more about the importance of AI in the automotive industry from Jan Zawadzki, Head of Artificial Intelligence. Or listen to Florian Bouché, Head of ADAS & AD, to discover more about our path to automated driving.

At our booth, you can learn more about each layer of our tech stack and its game-changing implications for the future of automotive mobility.

As well as the platform, you can learn about the many car experiences, including Highway Pilot, Automated Valet Parking, One Infotainment and Personal Assistant.
