Open source-led innovation revolutionized the mobile industry and, with the GENIVI Alliance and Linux Foundation leading the charge, the automotive industry is poised for the same kind of change. We know tapping the potential of open source and its community can speed innovation and increase efficiency, but it is also part of a complex ecosystem that must be proactively managed. With nearly 1 million open source projects available, complexity inevitably arises, including selecting the right code, evaluating and managing OSS licenses and obligations, ensuring compliance with company policies, and efficiently conveying software component information through the automotive supply chain.
