Synopsys is presenting automotive engineering solutions using AI and virtualisation technology at CES 2026 in Las Vegas from Jan. 6 to 9. The company said it is showcasing application examples and collaboration results to accelerate software-defined vehicle development. It introduced an integrated engineering environment that virtualises the full vehicle electronics and software development process to cut complexity and costs and to predict and verify system performance and reliability in advance.

Solid-state batteries, often described as a “dream technology” for reshaping the electric vehicle industry, are moving onto the road, the article said. Donut Labs, a Finland-based startup, said it has started mass-production-level manufacturing of a solid-state battery with an energy density of 400 Wh/kg. It said the battery works from minus 30 to 100 degrees Celsius and exceeds 100,000 charge cycles. The battery is applied to Verge Motorcycles’ TS Pro and TS Ultra models, which support up to 600 km range and 200 kW fast charging.
