The relationship between software-defined vehicles and EVs, the evolution of new propulsion technologies, and the ways AI is being leveraged across the automotive industry. These topics were among the core themes at SDV Social 2026, presented by Intrepid Control Systems.
Held on the evening of Thursday, May 14th, at the Intrepid HQ in Troy, Michigan, the event featured cutting-edge tech demos, networking opportunities, and live music from Detroit rockers J2C. The evening concluded with an expert panel discussion on the future of software-defined cars moderated by AutoVision News Radio host Carl Anthony.
Alongside Carl on the panel were three respected industry leaders: John McElroy of Autoline, Christine Thelesklaf of Bosch in North America, and Jordan Choby of Toyota Motor North America, Research and Development. Each panelist provided key takeaways on the current SDV landscape, including the role of AI, trends in the commercial space, and considerations for everyday car buyers.
