SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Automotive Grade Linux (AGL), an open-source initiative focused on creating a platform for Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs), has welcomed Seafarix as a new Bronze member.
AGL is a collaborative project at The Linux Foundation, intending to unite various stakeholders, including automakers and technology firms, to foster a fully open and shared software ecosystem for all automotive technologies, from infotainment systems to autonomous driving capabilities.
Dan Cauchy, Executive Director of AGL, stated, "Seafarix shares our belief that original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) should have full control over their software stack. Their expertise, particularly from the mobile industry, will greatly enhance our SDV development efforts."
Seafarix draws its roots from Jolla and the Sailfish operating system, bringing unique insights into bridging traditional OEMs with new software-centric entrants in the automotive sector. Their technology ensures that Linux-based systems can retain control over their internal features and data privacy while enabling Android applications to run on Linux-based platforms.
Petteri Paasila, Co-Founder & CEO of Seafarix, expressed that the automotive sector is rapidly advancing towards software-defined vehicles. He sees open-source collaborations as vital for innovation, interoperability, and cost-effective development. Seafarix intends to contribute to the AGL platform, helping automakers create secure and customizable in-vehicle experiences.
AGL aims to become the de facto industry standard for the connected car through its open software stack. Initially focused on In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI), AGL plans to address all vehicle software, including instrument clusters, heads-up displays, telematics, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), and autonomous driving applications. The platform is open to all participants.
