Open source Software in Automotive: A point of view from the car industry
Presented by Mario De Felice Open source software is a big part of software development and despite initial historical pushback from the automotive industry, it is now becoming more and more common in the industry. During the course of the presentation we will analyse the current situation and approach to open source software in automotive, including what an automotive company looks for in it and its challenges. We will also briefly touch on the relationship between tier-1 suppliers and open source code, as opposed to in-house development directly by the car manufacturer. Mario De Felice has been a Software Architecture Manager in Jaguar Land Rover for 6 years, mainly looking at connected car, audio and infotainment domains, where he has designed and developed amongst the others, the award-winning PIVI Pro Infotainment system, featured on the Land Rover Defender. Prior to this engagement, he has worked in the research industry, starting with his PhD in Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks between the University of Rome “La Sapienza” and the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) and collaborated with a few companies, like Toyota, Google and Telecom Italia.
