INYO at the Munich Summit on Autonomous Driving: Test Drives in Grafing and Vehicle Presentation at Munich Urban Colab
On November 9, 2026, the first Munich Summit on Autonomous Driving took place. As part of the event, INYO Mobility conducted test drives with the INYO Cab in Grafing. The vehicle was subsequently presented at the summit at Munich Urban Colab.
Test Drives in Grafing
Ahead of the summit, guests from politics and the mobility industry had the opportunity to experience the INYO Cab firsthand during test drives in Grafing. Participants included:
Robert Niedergesäß, District Administrator of Ebersberg and Spokesperson for the Allianz Mobile Zukunft München & Region
Thomas Huber, Member of the Bavarian State Parliament
Christian Einhellig, Mayor of the City of Grafing
Leading representatives from the mobility industry
The test drive sessions were fully booked in a short time and proved highly successful. Afterwards, participants engaged in in-depth discussions about potential future applications for the INYO Cab, particularly in rural areas and local communities.
The INYO Cab
The INYO Cab is a four-seat electric Level 4 autonomous vehicle designed for public transport. It operates on demand, providing first- and last-mile connections. Particularly in areas that are currently underserved by buses and trains, it helps close gaps in the public transport system.
Presentation at Munich Urban Colab
Following the test drives, the INYO Cab was presented at the summit at Munich Urban Colab, alongside vehicles from Waymo, Momenta, Autobrains, MAN and TUM.
The summit was held under the patronage of Christian Bernreiter, Bavarian State Minister for Housing, Construction and Transport, and the City of Munich, represented by Second Mayor Mona Fuchs.
From Testing to Regular Operations
Around 400 participants from politics, industry, academia, start-ups, transport operators, local authorities and associations subsequently discussed a key question: How can autonomous vehicles move from testing to regular operations more quickly?
During the summit, the Munich location of the German Center for Mobility of the Future (DZM), led by TUM, was also officially opened. Its aim is to bring autonomous public transport closer to regular operations.
The summit builds on the IAA Mobility Roundtable 2025 and aims to accelerate the implementation of autonomous mobility solutions across the Munich region.
"The technology is already on the road. The next step is to bring autonomous vehicles into regular public transport operations, particularly in rural areas, where the need is greatest," says Rauno Fuchs, Chief Business Officer at INYO Mobility.
