AUMOVIO, formerly the Automotive Group division of Continental, is set to showcase its next-generation mobility technologies at CES 2026, the world’s premier technology event taking place from January 6–9, 2026, in Las Vegas. Following its successful debut on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange as an independent company last September, AUMOVIO will highlight its strengthened position as a leading provider of advanced mobility solutions and electronic technologies shaping the future of transportation.
“AUMOVIO’s presence at CES 2026 represents a major milestone in demonstrating the speed, creativity, and innovation unlocked through our new independence,” said Philipp von Hirschheydt, CEO of AUMOVIO. “We are not just responding to automotive trends—we are defining them. From software-defined vehicles to intelligent UX and breakthrough mobility technologies, our booth will offer a glimpse into how tomorrow’s mobility ecosystem will function.”
Creating the next ‘wow-factor’ in vehicles
AUMOVIO blends optical engineering, cutting-edge projection technologies, and deep UX expertise to develop intuitive and immersive solutions for future mobility needs. Visitors at CES will witness how the company elevates safety and style through its advanced user experience innovations.
The Branded Personalized Cockpit will highlight AUMOVIO’s mastery in customized display systems, featuring a vibrant multi-display setup with the latest display breakthroughs—including next-gen color ePaper technology, switchable privacy features, and an OLED-integrated invisible camera—designed to deliver highly personalized and elevated in-car experiences.
Easier driving and manoeuvring with Xelve system solutions
Assisted and automated driving technologies are transforming the way we move. AUMOVIO’s Xelve technology solutions provide a scalable ADAS and automated driving system set-up for volume and premium markets, where hardware and automotive software harmonize. Xelve creates a seamless system that is the entry point for the Software-defined Vehicle (SDV) that covers L2-L4, in addition to offering a comprehensive array of functions. Xelve comes in various system versions with different focuses: Xelve Park for high-precision, automated parking functions; Xelve Drive for assisted and automated driving experience with human-like AI-supported decision making; and Xelve Pilot as a fallback solution for automated driving (L4). The latest addition to the portfolio is the Xelve Trailer which provides collision warning using surround view-based computer vision to detect obstacles and warn drivers of potential impacts while maneuvering with a trailer. All in all, with Xelve, AUMOVIO demonstrates that it is a full system supplier for ADAS and automated driving systems. One advantage for customers is a high degree of flexibility; thanks to AUMOVIO’s close cooperation with various SoC suppliers, the systems can be customized to meet individual customer requirements.
From virtual to real: The path toward standardized and scalable SDV architectures
At CES, AUMOVIO presents a complete path toward the Software-defined Vehicle (SDV) – from a virtualized multi-Electronic Control Unit (ECU) network to the deployment of real vehicle functions.
AUMOVIO provides a comprehensive virtualization network with a High-Performance Computer (HPC), Zone Control Units, as well as sensors and actuators. Developers can integrate, verify, and validate complete vehicle functions in a fully virtual or hybrid real-time environment, significantly accelerating development time. With that, software can be designed and tested long before physical hardware is available.
The setup includes the latest Vehicle Control HPC (VC HPC), supporting both safety-critical and non-safety-critical functions across domains without interference.
In addition, AUMOVIO introduces its next-generation SDV architecture concept, the Automotive Remote-Control Network. This technology is a key enabler for a standardized, scalable, and cost-efficient vehicle architecture, making classic automotive functions fully SDV-ready.
It simplifies the vehicle architecture by introducing a highly standardized concept built around HPC, Zone Control Units, sensors and actuators, including Input/Output (I/O) boxes and Smart Actuator ECUs. Standardized communication protocols connect the HPC to sensors and actuators. This enables complete decoupling of vehicle applications from hardware-dependent firmware.
By reducing wiring complexity and minimizing hardware variants, the Automotive Remote-Control Network significantly simplifies vehicle architectures. Vehicle model differentiation is now driven almost entirely by software, allowing streamlined integration and simplified lifecycle management.
Together, virtualization, centralized computing, and highly standardized ECUs highlight AUMOVIO’s capability to deliver all key SDV elements and support OEMs in building scalable and cost-efficient vehicle platforms for the next generation of mobility.
Safety, no matter what
Safer mobility is at the core of all that AUMOVIO does. One innovative product shown at CES is a night-capable camera software enhancement for existing camera hardware to improve driver safety in low-light conditions through enhanced visibility, decreased glare from oncoming headlights and greater perception of road hazards.
For the first time on display at CES is the e-Motor Rotor Temperature Sensor (eRTS), a new sensor technology for EV motors that enables the first direct, wireless rotor temperature measurement in permanent magnet synchronous motors. The greatly reduced tolerance compared to the current software-based temperature simulation – from 15°C to only 3°C – enables a more cost-efficient use of rare earth elements needed to increase the magnets’ heat resistance. This improves overall system cost, performance, and safety.
AUMOVIO at CES 2026
Visitors to AUMOVIO’s booth will experience concepts brought to life through interactive exhibits and vehicle demonstrations, including stunning displays, augmented reality and in-car gaming technology.
“While we have exhibited at CES for many years, this will be our debut as AUMOVIO in Las Vegas,” said Aruna Anand, President and CEO, North America. “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.”
