Open Source has arrived in Automotive! Open Collaboration for the Automotive Industry
Presented by Andreas Riexinger (Robert Bosch GmbH) at EclipseCon 2022.
The Automotive industry is undergoing massive transformation with emerging automated, connected, and electric automotive technologies enabling new mobility services in a shared economy. In turn, these innovations are changing the way automakers, their partners, and customers create value and benefit from vehicles and transportation. And no one can do that alone ...
So Open Source Software has arrived in the Automotive World. More and more companies are not only using Open Source Software, they are actively contributing to and starting new Open Source Projects, which was not imaginable some years ago.
The Eclipse Foundation embraces the growing Automotive Open Source Activities and delivers an open, vendor-neutral governance framework, and IP cleansing processes for OEMs, Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers and players in the automotive ecosystem , who wish to collaborate on core capabilities below the value line to solve their technology needs.
The Automotive framework consists of:
Automotive Working Groups
Software defined Vehicle (SDV)
openPASS - open Platform for Assessment of Safety Systems
openMDM - Measured Data Management
openMobility - Open Source Mobility Modelling and Simulation Technologies
OpenADx - Open Source for Autonomous Driving
Automotive Projects clustered in an Automotive Top Level Project, which was newly established
Automotive Project Management Committee
The Eclipse Automotive Top-Level Project provides a space for open source projects to explore ideas and technologies addressing challenges in the automotive, mobility and transportation domain. It is the common goal of this project to provide tools and composable building blocks to empower the development of solutions for the mobility of the future.
