Automotive Grade Linux All Member Meeting Summer 2025

Walt will provide an update of recent AGL Expert Group and UCB activities and provide an update of the roadmap for 2025.

Traditional OEMs are under pressure from fast, unconventional competitors, all within a volatile geopolitical environment. While many EV challengers will fade, a few will succeed - and could force legacy OEMs into failure or consolidation.

To survive and thrive, OEMs must focus on conversational AI, in-car productivity and entertainment, and monetizing digital experiences - critical elements for reinforcing brand value and reducing dependence on Big Tech.

Seafarix’s roots trace back to Nokia’s MeeGo program. Though our FOSS-based mobile OS didn’t succeed commercially, it taught us vital lessons now serving our automotive partners. Efficiency with limited resources, smart use of FOSS, and challenging outdated processes are essential for OEMs navigating today’s disruption.

In this new era, embracing a software-first mindset, AI integration, and new forms of partnerships is no longer optional - it’s survival.

In this session, Masanori Itoh (Toyota) and Hiroyuki Ishii (Panasonic) will provide an overview of the current status of AGL OSPO-EG activities, focusing on an example slide deck recently released as a first deliverable, which is designed to help automotive executives understand the rationale for establishing an OSPO within a company. Afterwards, they will share updates on the ongoing discussions regarding the next steps of OSPO-EG. The second half of the session will feature an open discussion especially aimed at accelerating contributions from the automotive industry to AGL UCB and other OSS projects.

This presentation will provide an update on the Virtual Vehicle Fleet introduced at the AMM Spring in February. This time, we will demonstrate a virtual vehicle composed of three virtual machines: IVI, IC, and GW, incorporating the technical elements currently under consideration for the AGL SDV Reference Platform. We will delve into the complete architecture of a vehicle data processing system that spans from the vehicle to the cellular network, edge, core network, and cloud, using this virtual vehicle fleet. Additionally, we will explore the integration with a simulated 5G network (5GNW). We will also discuss the relationship between edge processing and ongoing activities at AECC.

This is an opportunity for developers to get together and discuss issues they have run into, potential roadmap ideas and to provide feedback to the community. Please bring your questions, comments and ideas to this session.
