On May 28, Hyundai Mobis announced its membership in the Eclipse Foundation's SDV Working Group and participation in the S-Core project. This initiative marks the beginning of its efforts to develop a software platform for SDVs.
The S-Core project aims to standardize automotive software platforms and middleware through global collaboration. Launched in late 2024, primarily among European companies, it is working to develop the first open-source-based SDV platform with functional safety standards (ASIL-B). Thirteen companies, including automakers, parts suppliers, and software firms, are involved in the project.
The adoption of open-source methods, traditionally used in the IT industry, is significant for mobility companies. Participating firms will share some of their code, allowing developers worldwide to utilize it freely.
Hyundai Mobis plans to unveil a Linux-based 'container solution' as part of this project. This technology creates independent spaces in the SDV environment to prevent interference between various software applications, enabling stable execution of multiple functions simultaneously.
According to Hyundai Mobis, the container solution operates over ten times faster than existing technologies in automotive control environments. It also features continuous integrity assurance to prevent software tampering from external intrusions.
A Hyundai Mobis representative stated, "Through our participation in this project, we aim to emerge as a leading company in mobility software."
Meanwhile, the automotive software market is experiencing rapid growth. According to market research firm MarketsandMarkets, the SDV market is projected to increase from $270.9 billion in 2024 to $419.7 billion by 2028.
