Technology is evolving at a breakneck speed — and investors don't need to pick individual winners to be part of the story.

From artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics to electric vehicles and clean mobility, entire industries are being reshaped in real time.

If you're looking to ride the next wave of innovation, a few carefully chosen ASX ETFs could give you exposure to some of the biggest trends shaping the future. Here are two standout options to consider:

BetaShares Global Robotics and Artificial Intelligence ETF (ASX: RBTZ)

Artificial intelligence and automation are no longer just buzzwords — they're actively transforming the way we work, live and interact with the world. The BetaShares Global Robotics and Artificial Intelligence ETF gives investors access to a global portfolio of companies leading the AI and robotics revolution.

This includes major names like Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), whose chips power the AI boom, alongside innovators in healthcare, engineering, and manufacturing that are integrating automation into their core operations. From robotic surgery to smart logistics, the applications are expanding rapidly.

For investors looking for exposure to a high-growth, high-impact theme, the BetaShares Global Robotics and Artificial Intelligence ETF could be a forward-looking addition to a long-term portfolio.

BetaShares Electric Vehicles and Future Mobility ETF (ASX: DRIV)

The future of transport is electric, and the shift is happening faster than many expected. The BetaShares Electric Vehicles and Future Mobility ETF offers exposure to companies at the forefront of electric vehicles (EVs), autonomous driving, and clean mobility solutions.

While headline names like Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA), BYD, and Rivian (NASDAQ: RIVN) grab the spotlight, this ASX ETF also includes the essential building blocks of the EV ecosystem — including battery manufacturers, semiconductor suppliers, and charging infrastructure providers. These are the businesses powering the transition away from petrol and diesel.

With governments ramping up support for low-emissions transport and automakers committing billions to electrification, the long-term growth runway for this sector is significant. BetaShares Electric Vehicles and Future Mobility ETF provides a diversified way to tap into the entire value chain of this once-in-a-generation transformation.

Foolish takeaway

You don't need to predict which single company will become the next tech titan. With ASX ETFs like the two above, investors can access broad exposure to tomorrow's most important technologies — today.

Whether it's artificial intelligence reshaping industries or electric vehicles redefining how we move, these funds offer a simple and effective way to invest in the future.
