The British holding company ARM and French automaker Renault are quite satisfied with the results of the experiment to provide owners of electric Twizy access to the source code of software. This initiative was launched without fanfare a couple of months ago, but many exploit this model electric companies have already taken advantage of this opportunity to adjust them to suit your needs. Of course, many customizable features customers are reduced to merely "decoration" nuances like
color LED backlight, but some allow to change the interface on-board computer and affect the performance of the electric vehicle - for example, limit the maximum speed in order to save the charge of the traction battery.
ARM officials believe definitely that platform open source has a future in the segment of automotive systems. We just need to give sufficient attention to a few key points. First, follow the information security. In the opinion of ARM, smartphone makers a few years of existence of this type of production have accumulated considerable experience in this field. Secondly, it is necessary to provide free traffic with the exchange of information with the vehicle on-board system. The
manufacturer must take these costs in order to increase customer loyalty.
Finally, ARM find the right approach is the formation of a hardware base car with room to new functions by improving the software. Likewise already comes Tesla Motors - in the autumn of last year, all brands of electric cars have a full set of equipment necessary to create a "complete autopilot." Just for the development of adequate in its capabilities the software may take some time. Part of the open software for a fee, which is also convenient for the automaker and part of car
owners who want to save. This ideology also came from the sphere of computers. Related Products :
