The automotive industry is at a critical juncture as it embraces AI and automation. AI's integration represents a transformative leap from traditional vehicles as mere modes of transportation to personalized driving experiences tailored to individual user needs. This shift not only enhances user experience but also alters the perception of vehicle value, moving beyond just hardware to include software and services.

Key Discussion Points

1. Transition from SDV to AIDV: An overview of how major automotive players are adapting AI into their strategies.
2. Competitive Landscape: Insights into the competition surrounding AI, ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems), and autonomous driving technologies.
3. Transformational Model: How the incorporation of AI will reshape vehicle functionality and profitability models.
4. Future of AIDV Competition: Predictions about the ongoing rivalry among tech giants and automotive leaders.
5. Q&A Session: An opportunity for participants to engage directly with experts.

The seminar comes in light of NVIDIA's recent innovations unveiled at CES 2026, where they presented the Alfamayo AI stack—a full AI solution capable of addressing challenges in automated driving and the smart factory sector. This full package aims to support automotive manufacturers who might currently lag behind leaders like Tesla, allowing them to develop comparable technologies and reclaim their competitive standing.

Prominent collaborations have emerged between NVIDIA and major automotive firms such as Mercedes-Benz, GM, Hyundai, and BYD to enhance self-driving capabilities on a global scale. Such partnerships leverage NVIDIA's expertise and showcase how AI is pivotal to achieving the goals outlined in the CASE framework—Connected, Autonomous, Service, and Electrification—as well as the Software Defined Vehicle (SDV).

In conclusion, Dr. Li Qiangfu will delve into the current dynamics of the automotive sector, exploring the implications of AI and the evolving landscape of revenue models. He will point out the potential impacts on the Japanese automotive industry and unveil new opportunities this paradigm shift may introduce. As the competition between the US and China sharpens, the seminar will also focus on who will ultimately take the lead in the AIDV space.
