This week, Accenture was hosting the Eclipse Software Defined Vehicle hackathon at its Munich office. 15 teams worked on new business and tech solutions, based on the foundations of the SDV working group.
With a great turnout and enthusiasm, the Eclipse SDV Hackathon began today, November 28, at Accenture in Munich. The event includes over 30 hours of coding, with 75 participants divided into 20+ teams of 3-5 people each.
The main purpose of the hackathon is to bring together automotive software enthusiasts that can experiment with the current SDV Tools, Blueprints, build exciting new features and play around with the technology and code and have fun while coding!
When joining this hack challenge, attendees will be not only collaborating on the first projects of the working group, but they will also be having a direct impact on the development of the larger technology ecosystem that will define the future mobility and the connected vehicle through open source. Join this hack challenge if you are interested in embedded and cloud systems and you have a vision and expertise on how to build together with us and our partners the fundamentals of the connected car software of the future!
