Today, OSS is everywhere. Yet, for the automotive industry, the journey is just beginning, and the road has been marked by occasional confusion. Drawing on years of experience in the OSS trenches, I want to take you back to where it all started. This session explores the history and core philosophy of open-source development to help us bridge the gap between traditional automotive engineering and community-driven innovation. Let’s learn from the past to build a better collaborative future.
JASPAR (Japan Automotive Software Platform and Architecture), a standardization organization in the Japanese automotive industry, has established a new working group called the API WG to promote software development efficiency and revitalize the industry. The API WG is not only working on API specification development but is also challenging the code implementation. In this presentation, we will provide insight into the activities and discuss future perspectives.

As software-defined vehicles become more complex, the industry needs common virtual device interfaces for faster development cycles and more reusable software assets. This keynote highlights recent progress around VirtIO as a key enabler of open-source-based virtualization for automotive systems. The presentation will cover industry momentum behind VirtIO, AGL’s ongoing expansion of VirtIO device support, and contributions around Unified HMI and the AGL SDV reference platform SoDeV. It will also discuss the next step: extending virtualization beyond in-vehicle platforms by linking cloud-native development with simulated models and external systems, opening new possibilities for scalable SDV engineering and ecosystem collaboration.
