Open-source e-mobility

For more than a century, automotive OEMs and their suppliers have taken a proprietary attitude to their technologies. This approach, while effective, created a fragmented ecosystem and, arguably, stifled innovation. But as electrified vehicles and their complex software-defined systems become mainstream, a more collaborative and potentially revolutionary model is emerging. Encompassing hardware as well as […]
