CARIAD, the automotive software company of the Volkswagen Group, has joined the Eclipse Foundation open source community as a strategic member of the Software Defined Vehicle Working Group.

The working group has been established on the initiative of ETAS GmbH and its parent company, Robert Bosch GmbH. As of this year, Bosch has bundled its activities in the development of cross-domain software for vehicles and the cloud under the umbrella of ETAS.

Europe’s leading open source foundation is joined by industry leaders Accenture, Arm, AVL, Bosch, Capgemini, Continental Automotive, DMI, ETAS, Futurewei Technologies, Karakun, Microsoft, Red Hat, Reycom, SUSE, and ZF to drive automotive innovation.

The aim behind the project using software-defined vehicles is to create a vendor-agnostic open-source ecosystem with a vivid, contributing community focused on building the foundation for a new era in automotive software development.

Alongside the Eclipse Foundation are several top industry players that are joining the foundation’s open source collaborative effort including Microsoft, Red Hat, Bosch, and others.
