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. Check out the first interview here with Luca Cominardi from the Eclipse Zenoh project for a glimpse of what’s to come. Stay tuned for more featured interviews by following Eclipse SDV on Instagram and LinkedIn.
When and how did you start your career in automotive?
My career in automotive started by chance a couple of years ago when Eclipse Zenoh, the open source project I'm working on, started to be seen as a solution to modern car communication problems. I started to also work in automotive because of common problems the industry at large is facing regarding distributed software communication. Clearly, automotive adds its own spin to the problem.
What’s the biggest challenge for SDVs?
Software becoming one central pillar of building vehicles has significantly reshaped the engineering process to put a vehicle in production. Software from different vendors needs to be integrated in a more agile manner, made to evolve over time, while keeping a high standard for software safety and performance.
What has been your #1 benefit of joining the Eclipse SDV Working Group?
Having multiple players collaborating in the Eclipse SDV Working Group allowed us to better define and streamline requirements and solutions for Eclipse Zenoh in automotive. This definitely improved the project by providing those features that are required in automotive. And it's always nice to see more people now benefitting from it in the SDV Working Group.
