What is SDV Forum X?


SDV Forum X is a program that delivers seminars covering the definition of SDV, current challenges, approaches to solving those challenges, and the latest trends.It also hosts a networking party where engineers can connect and exchange ideas.Organised in collaboration with COVESA, AUTOSAR, JasPar, Eclipse SDV, Automotive Grade Linux (AGL), Open SDV Initiative, RISC-V International, the seminar content is developed by leading experts from these SDV-related organisations. 

Background of the Event

As SDV development accelerates, the use of open‑source software is also advancing. Alongside the growing demand for cloud utilisation, there are diverse viewpoints—such as valuing conventional embedded technologies—creating a landscape where different standpoints and values coexist. Understanding and respecting these differences has become a key to future development.
This forum serves as a place where engineers can deepen mutual understanding and share practical knowledge through dialogue.
