The automotive industry is undergoing one of the most profound transformations in its history. While discussions often centre on electrification or autonomous driving, the real paradigm shift is driven by software. The emergence of the Software Defined Vehicle (SDV) marks a transition from hardware-centric engineering to software-centric value creation. Yet this shift is not merely technological, but also cultural: it fundamentally changes how innovation takes place.

Eclipse SDV’s end-to-end (E2E) Demonstrator Blueprint for software-defined vehicles has been featured by the technology news platform Electronic Design.

The European Commission’s Communication on European Tech Sovereignty cites Eclipse SDV as an example of successful industrial open source collaboration. This recognition is an important milestone.

On 19 May 2026, the Eclipse Software Defined Vehicle (SDV) community held its first-ever meetup in India, hosted by Bosch Global Software Technologies in Bengaluru. What began as a conversation just a few months earlier quickly evolved into a landmark community event.

Gabriel Tomuța is a Software Engineer at Elektrobit Automotive and an active contributor to Eclipse Ankaios within the Eclipse SDV community.

The Eclipse SDV Hackathon returns from 6–8 October for its fourth edition. This year, the entire community will come together in one location: Friedrichshafen.

The Eclipse Safe Open Vehicle Core (S-CORE) community is happy to announce the release of version 0.7.0. This significant update introduces a host of new features, enhancements, and stability improvements, reinforcing our commitment to providing an open and safe platform for the next generation of vehicle software.

The Open Community for Automotive at OCX26 focused on how open source collaboration is transforming the software-defined vehicle ecosystem and enabling a full middleware platform for series vehicle production.

The Eclipse Software Defined Vehicle (SDV) Working Group continues its strong growth trajectory in 2026, welcoming a diverse set of new members from across the global mobility, transportation, and embedded systems ecosystem.

What was once a live demo on the show floor is now available to everyone as a fully documented, reproducible Eclipse SDV E2E Demo Blueprint.
