Introduction to autonomous driving accelerator OpenADx
OpenADx is centered around the autonomous driving toolchain and aims to bring transparency and better integration capabilities into the highly heterogeneous autonomous driving tool space. This initiative is open to OEMs, Tier 1s, and tool and technology vendors. OpenADx was launched by Bosch and Microsoft and now comprises contributors from the industrial, research, and start-up worlds. It is an industry-wide initiative with the goal of accelerating the development of autonomous driving.
Participating companies and organizations are initially working on OpenADx in testbeds within the scope of the Eclipse Foundation, which is serving as the OpenADx community host. The legal framework of the open source association enables companies to collaborate in small, loosely coupled ecosystems free from complex contracts and official partnerships. However, collaboration on such a large scale in a classic industry requires a proven and trusted environment. The Eclipse Foundation provides exactly that through industrial working groups, open source contribution management and legal support, the Eclipse Public License, experience in ecosystem set-up and management as well as solid representation in Europe and North America to support transatlantic collaboration.
