Automakers Shift Control Toward Software-Centric Vehicles
At CES 2026 automakers and suppliers showcased vehicles and software designed around the assumption that humans will not always drive, highlighting Nvidia, Mercedes, BMW, and Sony Honda. Nvidia introduced Alpamayo—a decision-making system that plans, executes, and explains maneuvers and will deploy with Mercedes—while Sony Honda unveiled the Afeela 1 EV with roughly 300 miles range and a full-width digital interior. These announcements signal software-led control becoming a foundational element of vehicle design.
