Last Exit Open Source – From Taboo to Foundation of the SDV Platform

Software-defined vehicle platforms have become a strategic capability for automotive manufacturers. They determine how fast new software-driven functions can be developed, brought to the road, and updated in the field.

This whitepaper explains why industrial-grade open source is emerging as a viable path for the foundational software layer of SDV platforms. It looks at past approaches, discusses Eclipse S-CORE as one of the most visible current initiatives, and outlines how OEMs can keep architectural control while reducing time, effort, and risk through mature open-source building blocks.

Which parts of your SDV platform foundation should be built on industrial-grade open source?

We maintain iceoryx2, an efficient and deterministic communication layer for the SDV platform foundation that preserves your architectural control. If you are evaluating where open source fits into your platform strategy, we are happy to discuss.
