Driving the automotive industry into the future with Open Source -- Eclipse Automotive - Open Collaboration for the Automotive Industry

The transformation of the automotive industry is still ongoing and changes the way automakers, their partners, and customers create value and benefit from vehicles and transportation. Open source software (OSS) has become an integral part of development and helps fuel innovations in areas like AI, autonomous driving, and connected cars, which are driving growth and profitability. More and more automotive companies are not only using Open Source Software, they are actively contributing to and starting new Open Source Projects, which was not imaginable some years ago.

Michael Deubzer (Vector Informatik GmbH)

Automotive industry is currently preforming a radical change from mechanical cars with E/E components towards Software Defined Vehicles. One mayor change and challenge is the shift to constant software evolution over the complete lifecycle of a vehicle, starting with vehicle platform design till taking cars to the scrap yard. DevOps principles and mindset are an important enabler for providing constant updates on vehicle software. On the other side, we see also a seamlessly integrated development environment tool chain, e.g.

An Eclipse Automotive Stack for rapid-prototyping Software Defined Vehicles

Sven Erik Jeroschewski (Robert Bosch GmbH)

Processing data in a vehicle and getting it out in an uniform way is beneficial for many use cases on the journey to a Software Defined Vehicle (SDV). However, many applications are specific to the underlying hard- and software systems making it difficult to build up a joint stack that can be adopted and extended by solution developers without taking too much effort into the underlying layers. It is desirable to deploy the respective stack and a possible backend not limited to actual vehicles and cloud backends but also to locations more accessible to developers at their desks.

docs-as-code - A game changer for automotive

Nirmal Sasidharan (Robert Bosch GmbH)

Motivation

Software development in the automotive industry has been marred with heavy weight tooling or tooling with a lot of breaks or less automation possibilities. This leads to a lot of inefficiency in software development, resulting in delayed releases and thereby significant loss on competitiveness.

Technical Description

docs-as-code in simple terms means, using the same tools and workflows for creating engineering artifacts, as developers use for writing and maintaining code. This means,

openPASS - from a simulator to a modular ecosystem

Tuan Duong Quang (TUEV SUED Auto Service GmbH)

Over the last years, there has been a significant shift in the automotive industry from real-world testing to virtual methods when it comes to the assessment of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and automated driving (AD) functions. This trend can be seen at the regulatory site, e.g. UN regulation ALKS R157 which allows to use simulation to verify the safety concept of the Automated Lane Keeping System under specific conditions.

The Open Source Way

From a Swabian car manufacturer to an open source enthusiast

Martin Haselbach (Daimler TSS GmbH)

Basem Vaseghi (Daimler TSS GmbH)

For over 100 years we have striven for engineering excellence in our cars. Get into the seat of a Mercedes and the quality and the craftsmanship speaks for itself. We would like to tell the same story when it comes to the software in our cars. However, 10 years ago we came to realize that using a hardware approach to achieve quality was doomed to fail when it comes to the software side of it. Nowadays, a customer sees a car as a “phone on wheels” and expects the same level of usability, configurability, and ease of use, while being stylish and up-to-date with today’s standards.
