In this episode of FOBtv, my guest is Laksh Parthasarathy (PLN), Global Head of Smart Mobility and Automotive Manufacturing at TCS. We explore how AI and analytics are rewriting the DNA of the automotive industry. Together, we trace the shift from slow, mechanical evolution to a new era where intelligence becomes the core of both vehicles and factories. PLN breaks down how digital twins accelerate innovation, how robots are gaining new collaborative abilities, why software-defined vehicles will transform the driving experience, and how data—from energy flows to accident histories—will reshape design, testing, and mobility itself. This conversation reveals the emerging architecture of automotive manufacturing in 2035, where circular systems, cyber-secure factories, and AI-driven decisions define a new industrial future.
*I use AI in all my work.
