Forty2Dot announced on the 8th that it will cooperate with the German Automotive Industry Association (VDA) to strengthen the SDV ecosystem and participate in the Eclipse Foundation, one of the automotive open source software foundations, to promote open collaboration.
Forti2Dot signed an MOU with VDA with the goal of building an 'Automotive-Grade' open source software ecosystem and began a project to collaborate with 32 global companies spanning the automotive industry.
This project will be centered around the Eclipse S-CORE open-source software stack, developed by the Eclipse SDV working group under the foundation. A diverse range of global companies, including Forty2Dot, automakers, parts and software suppliers, semiconductor companies, and cloud specialists, are participating.
Through collaboration, participating companies are expected to ▲reduce the time and cost required for development, integration, and maintenance in non-differentiated software areas by up to 40%, ▲shorten time to market by up to 30% by utilizing common automotive components, and ▲focus on providing differentiated customer-centric experiences.
By participating in 'Eclipse SDV', Forti2Dot plans to link its SDV full-stack platform and software technology currently under development with the global open source ecosystem, and to design safety-enhanced vehicle software to build a reliable software foundation.
Forty2Dot's Interim CEO, Jinhee Choi, stated, "In the automotive software sector, where safety is paramount, open collaboration is essential to realizing SDV." She added, "Based on Forty2Dot's experience in software, data, and mobility platforms, we will contribute to building a trusted, integrated software foundation for automakers." She added, "Together with the Eclipse Foundation and global partners, we are committed to ushering in the era of connected, autonomous, and SDV."
