Software Defined Vehicles (SDVs) mark a significant evolution in the automotive industry, shifting the focus from traditionally hardware-centric designs to software-driven systems. Earlier, automotive systems were built using a hardware-first approach; today, vehicles are increasingly powered by complex, software-based solutions.
Several open-source alliances—such as AGL, ELISA, SOAFEE, Eclipse, COVESA, Autosar, and others—are uniting to accelerate the development of SDVs. In this session, we will provide an overview of these initiatives, explaining how these alliances are shaping the future of automotive technology.
In particular, the AGL SDV Expert Group is at the forefront of this movement, committed to developing common SDV platforms through open-source collaboration. As the leader of this group, the speaker will share the group’s vision, detailed activities and future plans, offering a closer look at AGL’s efforts in the SDV space.
This presentation is designed to initiate collaboration between the automotive open-source community and COSCUP attendees, and will be conducted in both English and Chinese.
