Applying AI to Vehicle Development, Level 4 Autonomous Trucks

JSAE 2026 in Yokohama: SDV-related technology presentations

2026/07/16

Summary
Microsoft: The Impact of Generative AI on the In-Car Experience
T2: Technology Development Toward the Realization of Level 4 Autonomous Truck Hub-to-Hub Transportation Services

Summary

This report covers the presentations on SDV (Software-Defined Vehicle) given by Microsoft and T2 at the Automotive Engineering Exposition 2026 (organized by the Society of Automotive Engineers of Japan, Inc.), held at the Pacifico Yokohama Exhibition Center from May 27 to 29, 2026.

While the shift toward SDV is definitely gaining momentum, the proliferation of generative AI and its impact on automobiles have been remarkable. Microsoft's case study reports on the impact on the driver's direct experience and improvements in vehicle development efficiency (shorter development cycles). Furthermore, this report will present T2 Inc.'s efforts regarding the impact of generative AI on autonomous driving technology, as well as the current state of development and future vision for Level 4 autonomous driving.
