The complexity of next generations of software defined vehicles require a new approach to software and system designs as the current methods are no longer scalable or sustainable. The general consensus has pointed to Open Source for some time, but there has been a lack of such operationalization for a common platform. Hosted by Eclipse Foundation and initiated by key innovators in the industry, including BMW, Mercedes Benz, ETAS and Qorix, the S-CORE project aims to revolutionize the future of SDV design. This panel will discuss the progress and potential of S-CORE and share their perspectives of enabling open collaboration for mutual success.
