AutoMobili-D at North American International Auto Show

AutoMobili-D is a dedicated exposition focused on the rapidly evolving global automotive and mobility landscape. Spearheaded by NAIAS, AutoMobili-D will run in conjunction with the 2017 auto show and will feature more than 100 companies, including automakers, tier one suppliers and tech startups.

"AutoMobili-D will provide an international look at the ever-changing world of consumer mobility and the ecosystem of companies and innovations that are driving this exciting transformation", said Sam Slaughter, 2017 NAIAS chairman. "Being the Motor City, NAIAS garners the largest industry concentration of any show in the world, bringing in nearly 40,000 executives, engineers, designers and thought leaders. AutoMobili-D will provide the ideal platform for business-to-business networking and thought-provoking demonstrations."

OVERVIEW

Located only steps away from the nearly 5,000 journalists using the industry-best Michelin Media Center, AutoMobili-D will feature 120,000 sq. ft. of dynamic display communities in the Cobo Center Atrium overlooking the international waterway and the adjoining Hall E.  Unlike anywhere else in the world, attending executives, industry professionals and journalists will have the opportunity to experience first-hand advanced driver assist and autonomous vehicle functionality on a dedicated test track all in one building. Unique communities of participating companies and tech start-ups will cover the following five key mobility areas:

1. autonomous driving
2. connected car technologies
3. e-mobility
4. mobility services
5. urban mobility
