Democratizing Innovation in Automotive with RISC-V and Open Source
summary
Argues that RISC-V as an open ISA plus open source software lets carmakers consolidate ECUs into zonal architecture with a central compute node handling mixed safety-critical workloads, increasing code portability, reducing vendor lock-in, cost and time to market. Cites tooling and downloads — Ubuntu for RISC-V on multiple dev boards — and ecosystem work via a new RISC-V Automotive SIG. Gives numbers: about 50–70% open source in automotive software and a 320% YoY increase in automotive CVEs (2020–21). Notes GPLv3 is generally avoided in vehicles.
