SIGs are focused communities within SDV that advance domain-specific goals.
Participation is open to contributors, maintainers, and domain experts.
The idea behind a SIG is to provide a flexible collaborative space for relevant topics and technologies within the scope of an existing Working Group. The primary aim of SIGs is to enable members to exchange expertise, discoveries, and best practices around a particular topic or technology. Within the context of the SDV Working Group, the SIGs will focus on emerging innovations and concepts in the automotive realm.
Stay on top of breakthrough concepts in mobility.
Exchange best practices and real-world insights.
Rapidly test and adapt ideas that keep businesses future-ready.
Think of SIGs as speedboats, swift, flexible, and always ahead, helping
the wider SDV community navigate and harness the latest advancements.
Any member of the SDV Working Group can propose a new Special Interest Group (SIG) to
explore a focused area of innovation and participate to support specific open source projects and
specifications. Proposals are submitted via the mailing list and require Steering
Committee approval. Each SIG must include participation from at least three member
organizations.
