TCS shows how AI shapes the future of mobility
How will the way we move every day change?
Artificial intelligence is no longer confined to laboratories—it is learning alongside vehicles and factories.
The everyday experience of getting from one place to another may seem simple, but behind every journey lies a system that learns and adapts. Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has released the Digital Twindex Report: Future-Ready Mobility 2026, highlighting how artificial intelligence, digital twins, and software-defined architectures are redefining the way we move and produce.
Mobility Transformation.
The report, unveiled at CES 2026 in Las Vegas, shows that vehicles, factories, fleets, and supply chains are evolving into adaptive systems that learn continuously, enhancing safety, reliability, and sustainability.
Five key takeaways from the TCS Digital Twindex Report: Future-Ready Mobility 2026:
1) Intelligence is shifting from initial design to tangible outcomes in real-world mobility, as software-defined vehicles, adaptive factories, and connected platforms mature simultaneously.
2) Engineering and manufacturing are evolving into intelligence-driven systems, enabling continuous learning, faster decision-making, and greater resilience across the product and production lifecycle.
3) Factories and supply networks are emerging as cognitive assets, where digital twins, physical AI, and feedback systems allow operations to perceive, decide, and respond dynamically at scale.
4) Vehicles are transitioning from isolated products to connected AI assets, learning collectively to improve safety, reliability, sustainability, and customer experience.
Expert Perspectives.
Anupam Singhal, President of Manufacturing at TCS, states:
“For most people, mobility is based on trust: getting where they need to go safely, reliably, and comfortably. What is changing is how intelligence is being integrated into vehicles, factories, and mobility ecosystems to support that trust—often without being noticed. The TCS Digital Twindex Report: Future-Ready Mobility 2026 brings these transformations together and shows how AI-led technology is quietly improving everyday experiences, delivering mobility that is increasingly reliable, sustainable, and adaptable over time.”
Ajay Wadhwa, CEO of Tata Motors Global Services Limited, emphasizes:
“Over the past decade, we have witnessed a series of incremental changes. This gradual evolution has accelerated significantly over the past two to three years, marking a period of rapid advancement. However, despite these gains, the widespread adoption of new technologies and the fundamental work required still need to catch up in many companies. As the pace of innovation continues to accelerate, the coming years are set to be truly revolutionary, leading to profound transformations that will redefine the way we work.”
Intelligence Integration.
The report also highlights the need to orchestrate intelligence across mobility ecosystems, integrating vehicles, manufacturing, suppliers, and digital platforms without adding complexity or compromising reliability.
This is the first edition of the TCS Digital Twindex focused exclusively on the automotive and mobility sector, building on previous studies in manufacturing, sustainability, and life sciences and healthcare.
Unlike prior editions, which established the foundations of digital intelligence within organizations, this new version demonstrates how these capabilities are now realized in connected vehicles, adaptive factories, and integrated mobility systems.
