Stellantis Brings Driverless Tech and Satellite 5G to London's Biggest Mobility Show

Stellantis Brings Driverless Tech and Satellite 5G to London's Biggest Mobility Show

SHERIDAN, WYOMING -- June 15, 2026 -- Stellantis is heading to London this week with two of the most forward-looking demonstrations it has put on public display yet: a Jeep Compass fitted with 5G connectivity over satellite, and a fully driverless robotaxi platform designed to scale across urban environments. Both will be on show at MOVE 2026, billed as the world's leading tech mobility event, running June 17–18 at ExCeL London. For anyone tracking where the car industry is actually headed — beyond the press releases and concept cars — this one is worth paying attention to.

What Stellantis Is Bringing to ExCeL London

Stellantis will occupy Booth 1 at the main entrance, and the centerpiece demonstrations cover two distinct but related bets on the future of mobility. The first is a live showcase of 5G connectivity delivered over satellite on the new Jeep Compass. The second is the L4-Ready Platform — a driverless vehicle architecture built for robotaxi deployment in cities. Together, they represent the company's argument that connected and autonomous mobility aren't separate roadmaps but a single, converging one.

Satellite 5G on the Jeep Compass

The Jeep Compass demonstration focuses on a narrow-band satellite solution that extends mobile coverage well beyond what traditional terrestrial networks can reach. The practical upside is straightforward: vehicles stay connected in remote or underserved areas where standard cellular infrastructure simply doesn't exist. Stellantis has framed the Compass as a natural fit for this kind of demonstration, given the Jeep brand's longstanding association with go-anywhere capability. Adding always-on connectivity to that proposition — including in areas far off the grid — is a logical extension of what the brand already stands for.

The L4-Ready Platform: A Robotaxi Built to Scale

The L4-Ready Platform is designed for full driverless operation and built with scalability as a core requirement rather than an afterthought. It combines advanced hardware and software in a unified architecture intended to support safe, efficient autonomous operations — with urban transportation as the primary use case. Stellantis has been deliberately measured about how it talks about this technology, emphasizing reliability and user experience over speculative timelines. What the platform represents at this stage is a production-ready foundation, not a prototype.

At the booth, Stellantis will also present its broader autonomous driving partner ecosystem, which includes Bolt, NVIDIA, Pony.ai, Uber, and Wayve. The presence of that particular lineup signals how seriously the company is treating software partnerships as infrastructure rather than optional extras.

Ned Curic Takes the Opening Panel

On June 17 at 9:20 a.m. BST, Stellantis Chief Engineering and Technology Officer Ned Curic will join the opening panel discussion, titled "The Great Uncoupling: Why the Future of Autonomous Driving is Software-Agnostic." The session will address the shift toward software abstraction in autonomous architectures and why that matters for scalability across different vehicle types and markets. Also on the panel are Alex Kendall, CEO of Wayve, with the session moderated by Martyn Lee, founder of EV News Daily.

The framing of the panel title is revealing. "Software-agnostic" is the kind of language that suggests Stellantis is positioning its platform as hardware infrastructure that any capable software stack can run on — a very different model from companies that are tightly coupling their own AI to their own vehicles.

Mini FAQ

Q: What is MOVE 2026 and when does it take place? A: MOVE 2026 is described as the world's leading tech mobility event. It runs June 17–18, 2026, at ExCeL London.

Q: What does L4 autonomy mean in practice? A: Level 4 autonomy means the vehicle can handle all driving tasks within a defined operational area without any human intervention — effectively driverless within its intended environment.

Q: Where can I find Stellantis at the event? A: Booth 1 at the main entrance of ExCeL London.

Q: Who are Stellantis's autonomous driving partners? A: The ecosystem includes Bolt, NVIDIA, Pony.ai, Uber, and Wayve.
