Alliance Launches Open-Source In-Vehicle Infotainment Development Platform

摘要

Leading automobile manufacturers and hardware and software suppliers have formed the Genivi Alliance, a nonprofit organization committed to driving the development and broad adoption of an open-source in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) reference platform (see the figure). The group will unite automotive, consumer electronics, communications, and application development companies investing in the IVI market and will act as a driving force for innovation. The effort will reduce time-to-market and the total cost of ownership, according to the organization.rnThe scope of Genivi's founding membership is impressive. The roster includes automotive manufacturers such as the BMW Group, General Motors Corp., and PSA Peugot Citroen; automotive Tier 1 suppliers Delphi Corp. and Magneti Marelli; chipmaker Intel Corp.; and software supplier Wind River Systems.
