EB corbos Linux for Safety Applications is the world’s first open-source-based automotive operating system (OS) solution for safety-relevant applications to receive a positive assessment for certification by the global organization, TÜV Nord. Long the norm in other industries, the impact of free, open-source software in automotive has been limited by the industry’s strict safety requirements. This innovative solution allows carmakers to use Linux for applications such as ADAS and autonomous driving. It paves the way for the development of safer and more reliable vehicles, accelerating the transition towards the software-defined vehicle (SDV), also called the smart car of the future.
