Panel Discussion: Open Source as a Path for a Competitive Automotive Industry
summary
Open source becomes a strategic way to build software‑defined vehicles by shifting from 100–200 ECUs → 1–2 centralized computers, cutting duplicated billion‑euro investments per OEM, and moving testing into cloud virtual twins and digital‑twin simulation. Examples: ML stacks on PyTorch, TLS via wolfSSL, OCI‑compliant containers, AGL/ELISA/Eclipse SDV projects and a Safe Open Vehicle Core effort. Obstacles: AutoSAR IP/licensing, GPLv3 constraints, safety/regulatory compliance and low initial contributor rates; practical wins include 30M+ Linux head units shipped and a rise in OEM OSPOs.
