Aumovio to Unveil Intelligent Mobility Solutions At CES 2026
AUMOVIO, formerly the Automotive sector of Continental, is preparing for a major debut at CES 2026 from 6 to 9 January in Las Vegas. The company’s first global exhibition since becoming fully independent, following its successful listing on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, highlights a striking shift in how next‑generation mobility is being engineered, tested, and delivered. For AUMOVIO, the world’s most influential technology event is more than a showcase. It is a public moment to demonstrate the scale, creativity, and rapid decision‑making that independence has made possible.
Philipp von Hirschheydt, CEO of AUMOVIO, captured the company’s direction with a forward‑looking message: “CES 2026 marks a crucial moment for AUMOVIO to demonstrate the accelerated speed and creative power that our new independence brings to the mobility industry. We are not just reacting to automotive trends; we are actively setting the pace for software-defined vehicles, intelligent user experience, and key technologies for the future of mobility. Our booth will be a living roadmap for how the mobility ecosystem will operate tomorrow.”
Over the last 18 months, the global automotive sector has been increasingly shaped by electric powertrains, high‑performance computing, real‑time data processing, and software‑driven engineering. AUMOVIO has positioned itself at the centre of this transformation, focused on scalable and standardised software‑defined vehicle (SDV) architectures, safety‑led innovations, and personalised in‑car experiences.
Transforming User Experience
AUMOVIO combines optical engineering, advanced projection systems, and deep user experience expertise to develop features that are both intuitive and immersive. This approach aims to make the in‑car environment safer, more customised, and more enjoyable for drivers and passengers.
CES visitors will see the Branded Personalised Cockpit, a colourful multi‑display environment designed to demonstrate how UX, safety features, and software platforms can be elegantly combined. The showcase includes a sequence of advanced visual technologies such as vibrant colour ePaper displays, switchable privacy functionality, and the invisible integration of a camera behind an OLED screen. The technology is engineered to demonstrate how vehicle displays will evolve beyond static dashboards into adaptive, personalised computing environments.
Central to AUMOVIO’s user experience innovations is a philosophy that design, safety, and digital personalisation should work harmoniously rather than as competing priorities. The company argues that mobility needs to balance information delivery, spatial design, and accessibility without overwhelming the driver.
A growing number of automotive manufacturers are shifting from fixed dashboards towards reconfigurable display clusters, cloud‑driven infotainment, and AI‑supported personalisation. AUMOVIO is leveraging this momentum by building solutions that integrate safety‑critical features, real‑time analytics, and predictive interface behaviour.
Advanced Driving With Xelve Systems
Automated and assisted driving continues to expand at a rapid pace across passenger cars, commercial vehicles, taxis, and logistics fleets. AUMOVIO’s Xelve platform provides a scalable system for ADAS and automated driving used in both premium and volume segments. Central to Xelve’s architecture is the harmonisation of automotive software with high‑performance hardware.
Xelve supports L2 through L4 capabilities and offers multiple product pathways:
- Xelve Park delivers high‑precision automated parking and manoeuvring.
- Xelve Drive provides assisted and automated driving using AI‑supported decision making.
- Xelve Pilot serves as a fallback system for automated driving at Level 4.
- Xelve Trailer introduces surround‑view collision detection for vehicles towing trailers, offering real‑time warnings of potential impacts.
The full Xelve portfolio demonstrates AUMOVIO’s ability to deliver integrated mobility systems that are ready for large‑scale industrial programmes. One of the strongest advantages for OEM customers is product flexibility. AUMOVIO collaborates closely with multiple semiconductor and system‑on‑chip suppliers, enabling highly tailored solutions depending on performance requirements, regional regulations, or cost targets.
Analysts tracking the global ADAS market estimate that the number of Level 2+ vehicles will grow significantly through 2030, with standardised architectures and scalable software platforms becoming essential for reducing development complexity. AUMOVIO’s modular approach aligns with this trajectory by simplifying integration, safety validation, and lifecycle management.
Virtualisation And Standardised SDV Architectures
The path from concept to functional mobility platform increasingly runs through virtual environments, rather than physical prototypes. AUMOVIO has developed a sophisticated multi‑ECU virtualisation system built around centralised high‑performance computing, Zone Control Units, smart sensors, and intelligent actuators.
The system allows developers to integrate, test, and validate vehicle functions in fully virtual or hybrid real‑time environments. This approach significantly reduces hardware waiting time, accelerates innovation cycles, and enhances accuracy in both performance and safety testing. With centralised simulation in place, software functions can be engineered long before the vehicle exists.
One of the core components is AUMOVIO’s Vehicle Control High‑Performance Computer (VC HPC), which supports safety‑critical and non‑safety‑critical applications across multiple domains without operational interference. This is a major structural step toward a fully software‑defined mobility platform.
Alongside the virtualisation ecosystem, AUMOVIO is introducing its Automotive Remote Control Network, a next‑generation SDV architecture concept built around HPC, sensors, actuators, and zone units. The technology introduces a highly standardised communications layer that fully decouples vehicle applications from hardware‑dependent firmware. The result is a scalable architecture that significantly minimises wiring, reduces hardware variants, and streamlines lifecycle management.
The benefits for OEMs and mobility platform developers are extensive:
- Reduced cost and manufacturing complexity
- Improved system standardisation and safety validation
- Faster deployment cycles for new applications
- Vehicle model differentiation driven primarily by software
This architecture is aligned with broader SDV industry discussions taking place across international standards bodies, semiconductor consortiums, and regulatory forums. Increasingly, global mobility innovation depends on interoperability, cyber‑secure design, and cloud‑controlled feature evolution.
Prioritising Mobility Safety
Safety remains a central driver for AUMOVIO’s product roadmap. One of the company’s new breakthroughs being demonstrated at CES is a night‑capable camera enhancement for existing automotive cameras. The software improves driver visibility in low‑light environments, reduces glare from oncoming headlights, and enhances road hazard perception.
In addition, AUMOVIO will present a new innovation for electric drive systems: the e‑Motor Rotor Temperature Sensor (eRTS). The device provides accurate, wireless temperature measurements inside permanent magnet synchronous motors, reducing the tolerance range from around 15°C to approximately 3°C. The improvement enables more efficient use of rare earth materials in the magnets, improving cost, safety, and long‑term motor performance.
EV motor manufacturers have long noted that software‑based modelling can be limited when tracking thermal conditions inside dynamic rotor structures. Precise wireless measurement helps protect critical components, enhances energy conversion efficiency, and extends operating lifespan.
AUMOVIO’s First CES As An Independent Company
For North America, AUMOVIO’s exhibition marks a significant transformation in the company’s innovation agenda and market identity.
Aruna Anand, President and CEO for North America, said: “While we have exhibited at CES for many years, this will be our debut as AUMOVIO in Las Vegas. We are entering a bold new era. As a reimagined company, we’re pushing the limits of what’s possible – making mobility safe, exciting, connected, and autonomous.”
The company will host a private structure exhibit in Central Plaza opposite the Las Vegas Convention Center, featuring interactive demonstrations, augmented reality experiences, in‑vehicle gaming, and ADAS simulations. Multiple technology platforms will be available for hands‑on exploration, allowing visitors to see how software, UX, simulation, safety systems, and high‑performance computing converge into unified mobility ecosystems.
Manufacturers, policymakers, researchers, and investors attending CES will have opportunities to evaluate deployment strategies, safety validation frameworks, and ecosystem partnerships.
