ADAS & Autonomous Vehicle Technology Expo California San José

The ADAS & Autonomous Vehicle Technology Expo California is the leading platform for innovative developments in the field of automated and autonomous driving in the United States. The name stands for "Advanced Driver Assistance Systems & Autonomous Vehicle Technology," capturing precisely those key technologies that are fundamentally transforming the mobility sector: state-of-the-art driver assistance systems and solutions for autonomous vehicles. The expo is held annually at the McEnery Convention Center in San José, right in the heart of Silicon Valley—the global center for high-tech and mobility innovation. The event is organized by UKIP Media & Events Ltd., an experienced, internationally active trade show organizer specializing in technical exhibitions and high-profile B2B events.

A defining characteristic of the expo is its clear focus on the entire value chain of autonomous vehicle systems. The range extends from sensor technology and perception hardware to real-time data processing, artificial intelligence, and generative AI, as well as cybersecurity, connectivity, standards, compliance, and economic scalability. Attendees gain insights into the latest product innovations and solutions, including lidar, radar, camera systems, sensor fusion platforms, deep learning software, simulation and testing environments, calibration and validation systems, data logging tools, and hardware-in-the-loop applications. Key future topics such as mobility-as-a-service, high-definition mapping, and V2X communication are also addressed.

The event targets development engineers, R&D specialists, software architects, decision-makers, start-ups, and industry leaders from the automotive sector, IT, electronics, telecommunications, robotics, and research. It serves as a meeting point for international key players and innovators presenting their latest solutions. A particular highlight is the technically and scientifically oriented conference featuring more than 50 expert presentations, live demonstrations, and exclusive insights into current validation strategies, public acceptance issues, and the regulatory framework for autonomous vehicles in California.

Special highlights include test vehicle demonstrations and direct exchanges with thought leaders from industry and academia. The ADAS & Autonomous Vehicle Technology Expo California is part of a globally recognized series of exhibitions, which also includes its sister event in Stuttgart—the ADAS & Autonomous Vehicle Technology Expo Europe. Both events provide important impulses for the global development of autonomous mobility.

The McEnery Convention Center impresses with its modern infrastructure and central location in San José, offering ideal conditions for networking, product presentations, and high-caliber keynotes. Excellent connections to international airports, public transportation, and renowned hotels ensure convenient access to the venue. For anyone seeking to be at the forefront of mobility innovation, this expo is a must-attend event and the key to the latest trends, technologies, and visions in autonomous vehicles.

The ADAS & Autonomous Vehicle Technology Expo California will take place on 2 days from Wednesday, 27. August to Thursday, 28. August 2025 in San José.
