2 reports · 2 sources
Ozgur Tohumcu, Global General Manager of Automotive and Manufacturing at Amazon Web Services, said at the 2026 Amazon Web Services Automotive and Manufacturing Industry Summit that the bottleneck for scaling physical AI deployment is usually not the technology itself, but rather the data foundation, agent guardrails, and organizational tolerance for failure. He said that AI projects at many automakers are still stuck in the proof-of-concept stage; at the same time, he said that physical AI is moving from proof of concept into production environments, and agent systems are beginning to actually execute tasks rather than merely displaying data.
