Software-defined vehicles sit at the crossroads of automotive and software development – two fields where, sadly, women have historically been underrepresented. The good news is that this convergence presents a unique opportunity to bridge the gender gap by joining forces, sharing experiences, and uniting talents from both domains. Automotive and...

Curious about what draws individuals to the automotive industry and to the Eclipse SDV Working Group?This month, we're kicking off a new series of brief interviews with our most active Eclipse SDV committers.

Collaboration in the software-defined vehicle (SDV) space is not just a best practice; it’s a necessity. As the automotive industry shifts toward software-driven innovation, the role of open source becomes pivotal. However, fostering collaboration in a historically siloed industry presents both immense opportunities and significant challenges. At Open Community for...

The Automotive industry was used to focusing on the hardware aspects, being driven by the mechanical components of the vehicle. This, however, has changed approximately 50 years ago with the introduction of relatively simple software that was primarily used for engine control. Relatively simple software then evolved into more complex...

Open source software (OSS) is transforming the automotive industry and drives the core mission of the Eclipse SDV Working Group . From enabling cutting-edge innovation to championing sustainability, OSS is reshaping the development of software-defined vehicles (SDVs). Our latest report, “ Driving Efficiency and Sustainability: The Business Value of Open...

An Interview with Frédéric Desbiens, Eclipse SDV ThreadX SIG Lead This year, the Eclipse Software Defined Vehicle Working Group founded a Special Interest Group (SIG) on Eclipse ThreadX , a versatile and mature RTOS technology that has been at the forefront of embedded systems development since 1997. With a small...

Last week, over 60 participants gathered at ICF Karlsruhe, Germany, to build innovative features using SDV tools and blueprints at the SDV Hackathon Chapter 2 . Over two and a half days, 13 teams brainstormed, coded, and prototyped solutions, guided by hack coaches from companies like ETAS, Microsoft, and Bosch...

While the so-called "Draghi Report", published by the European Commission in September 2024, primarily focuses on the transition to low- and zero-carbon mobility, it also provides valuable insights on SDVs and, implicitly, open source*, which we summarised in this post.
