AGL EXPERT GROUPS

Slide 33

“You don’t have to be an expert to work in an Expert Group” – Walt Miner, AGL Community Manager

Expert Groups

• Current AGL Expert Groups (EG) • Application Framework and Security

• Connectivity

• Continuous Integration and Automated Test

• Graphics and UI

• Navigation

• Virtualization

• Reference Hardware System Architecture

Slide 34

Virtualization (EG-VIRT)

• First milestone achieved • Built in support for KVM hypervisor for R-Car M3

• Code merged

• EG-VIRT is a key component in our vision of the complete cockpit architecture

• Run AGL side-by-side with legacy RTOS

• In discussions with hypervisor companies – they plan to join this effort

Slide 35

Reference Hardware System Arch EG

• EG led by Mazda with Toyota, Suzuki, Honda, Subaru participating

• First draft of document is ready!

• Document published on AGL wiki

• Defines key hardware components and interfaces

• Will be used to drive the creation of new HW boards and software requirements

Slide 36

Slide 37

It’s time to move up the stack, services, applications.

Proposed Expert Groups

• Vehicle to Cloud (V2C)

• Voice Recognition

• Content Delivery (Streaming Music/Video)

• Security Vulnerability Action Team

• Functional Safety Expert Group

Slide 38

New: V2C Expert Group

• Creation of a Vehicle to Cloud Expert Group

• Split out the following from Connectivity EG • Cloud Connectivity (e.g. Iotivity)

• Connected Car

• Remote Vehicle Interactions

• ForgeRock volunteered to lead this effort

• Recruiting other AGL members to get involved!

• Recruiting new members

Slide 39

Proposed: Voice Recognition EG

• Nuance and Voicebox have joined AGL

• In discussion with other major players

• Vision is to form a Voice Rec Expert Group

• Define industry standard Voice Rec APIs and service binders

• Goal is for application providers to easily integrate Voice Rec within their Apps without needing to know anything about voice rec

Slide 40

Proposed: Content Delivery Streaming EG

• In discussion with major content delivery companies

• Vision is to form a content delivery Expert Group

• Define industry standard content streaming APIs to interface seamlessly with content providers

Slide 41

Proposed: Security Vulnerability Team

• The AGL Advisory Board has reviewed a proposal to create an AGL Security Vulnerability process

• Setup process to secretly share newly found vulnerabilities related to AGL code

• AGL would apply with the appropriate software security organizations to get early notifications

• AGL would act upon those notifications and provide fixes/patches • Denso is leading this effort – thank you! • Next step:

• Need to define the process and get buy-in • Need to put in place some security experts that can do this

work for AGL

Slide 42

Proposed: Functional Safety

• ISO26262 and/or other relevant certifications

• Continues to be a hot topic

• AGL Advisory Board approved that we move forward

• Get experts involved and define our roadmap

• Many companies want to get involved

• Next step: • Recruit expert(s)

• Identify requirements and roadmap

• Form an Expert Group for this activity
