Software Defined Vehicle: Programming is better than competing
A new article from WELT looks at how the shift towards software-defined vehicles is changing the way automotive manufacturers, suppliers, and software companies approach this question. The article features Ansgar Lindwedel from the Eclipse Foundation and highlights Eclipse S-CORE as one example of this approach: working together directly on open source code for the automotive software foundation.

For decades, the automotive industry assumed the answer was the conference room: draft the document, hold the meeting, reach agreement, then build. Eclipse SDV proposes something else entirely - publish the code first, validate it together, and let that experience produce the standard. What LG Electronics calls “Code First” wasn’t just an open-source strategy. It was an argument for rewriting how the auto industry collaborates.
