The concept of a software-defined vehicle (SDV) has become a hot topic across the automotive industry as automakers look for ways to address the complex software needs for functions like ADAS and autonomous driving. Many automakers and industry organizations have turned to open source software for SDV development, which has also led to an increase in contributions back to open source projects and the need for Open Source Program Offices to streamline and organize open source activities. Dan Cauchy, Executive Director of AGL, will discuss the current state of SDVs and the work being done by automakers and Tier 1s as part of the AGL SDV Expert Group. He’ll also provide insight into the driving trends behind SDVs and enabling technologies including virtualization, containers, and the cloud. Additionally, he’ll share updates from the recently launched AGL Open Source Program Office (OSPO) Expert Group, led by Toyota to help other automakers set up OSPOs, exchange information, and develop best practices
