Will open-source software come to SDV rescue?
Modern cars’ capture of advanced features for safety, driver assistance, and infotainment is now intrinsically tied to software-defined vehicles (SDVs), which automakers have already accomplished using lower levels of software based on closed-source, proprietary solutions. However, an SDV can be defined in six levels, with a true SDV starting at level three.
Moritz Neukirchner explains these six levels and argues that open-source software will be crucial in realizing proprietary alternatives for SDVs. While acknowledging that design teams have tried and failed to develop safety-centric, Linux-based solutions for automotive, he provides an update on Linux solutions’ recent progress in incorporating safety functionality into SDVs.
