Intervention
In this talk Flo will introduce the Eclipse Foundation which has started a Software Defined Vehicle Working Group. Members like Mercedes, Cariad, Bosch, Continental, and many others are already working together on a fully open source and commercially usable SDV Software layer, enabling faster innovation and reusability of base blocks. We will introduce the Eclipse SDV initiative and why this open source approach will help the worldwide car industry to enable the Software Defined Vehicle. We will highlight the achievements of this young initiative as well as critically asking why open source may not be enough to make this worldwide collaboration happen.
