Automotive Grade Linux All Member Meeting Japan 2026

As the automotive industry rapidly transitions to Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs), widespread SBOM usage is critical for improving transparency, security, and compliance across the supply chain. However, adoption faces significant barriers. OEMs and suppliers currently struggle with fragmented requirements, differing quality criteria, and unclear handling processes, leading to inefficiency and severe supplier fatigue.

To overcome these challenges, the OpenChain Automotive Work Group launched the Automotive SBOM Project. We are developing the "Automotive SBOM Specification" as a common guideline to ensure SBOM practices are practical, scalable, and meet shared quality criteria.

As an original proposer, I will introduce this specification's outline and share our latest community discussions on solving key adoption barriers. Most importantly, this session is a call for collaboration. I invite all stakeholders to join us. Let's work together to refine these guidelines, standardize our supply chain processes, and accelerate effective SBOM usage across the automotive ecosystem.
