SEOUL, May 28 (AJP) - Hyundai Mobis announced it has joined the Eclipse Foundation's Software-Defined Vehicle working group and will contribute to the S-Core project, a global open-source initiative to standardize the software platforms that underpin next-generation connected vehicles.

The S-Core project, launched in late 2024 by a consortium of European firms, aims to build a common middleware layer for SDV systems certified to functional safety standard ASIL-B — the first of its kind built on an open-source foundation.

Thirteen companies are currently involved in the effort, pooling resources to reduce duplicated investment and accelerate development of the shared technical base that applications such as autonomous driving depend on.

Hyundai Mobis said Thursday it marks the first time the company has opened its proprietary code to outside developers.

The company will contribute its container solution technology, which isolates individual software processes running on Linux to prevent interference between them.

Through the project, Hyundai Mobis said it expects to collaborate with a broad range of automakers, parts suppliers, and software specialists, while positioning its technologies as candidates for global industry standards.

The company added that open-sourcing its code is itself a public demonstration of confidence in its software capabilities.
