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 the second time in just ten months, Eclipse SDV traveled to Japan to connect with our highly engaged local community. This time, we not only co-hosted a meetup but also participated in Automotive World Japan, a major industry exhibition that brings together automotive manufacturers, suppliers, and technology providers to showcase and discuss innovations shaping the future of mobility.
A new whitepaper from Berylls by AlixPartners examines the potential cost, time, and strategic benefits of open source middleware for the automotive industry. Eclipse S-CORE features prominently throughout the paper as a concrete example of an emerging open source middleware initiative.
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.
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.
