With Linux at its core, AGL is developing an open platform from the ground up that can serve as the de facto industry standard to enable rapid development of new features and technologies.
Automotive Grade Linux (AGL) is a collaborative open source project that is bringing together automakers, suppliers and technology companies to build a Linux-based, open software platform for automotive applications that can serve as the de facto industry standard. Adopting a shared platform across the industry reduces fragmentation and allows automakers and suppliers to reuse the same code base, leading to rapid innovation and faster time-to-market for new products.
As a “code first” organization, AGL’s goals are to:
- Build a single platform for the entire industry
- Develop 70-80% of the starting point for a production project
- Reduce fragmentation by combining the best of open source
- Develop an ecosystem of developers, suppliers, expertise all using a single platform
Although initially focused on infotainment, AGL is the only organization planning to address all software in the vehicle: infotainment, instrument cluster, heads-up-display (HUD), telematics/ connected car, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), functional safety and autonomous driving.
Automotive Grade Linux is a Project at The Linux Foundation.
