In the last five years, Mobileye has led the automotive industry toward the adoption of Linux and RISC-V, as well as GCC and LLVM, marking the direction for the rest of the automotive industry. Mobileye chose this path because it improves product robustness and enables better collaboration with developers. However, this path wasn’t simple, because it is much harder to certify open-source software for automotive safety requirements, especially if this is a complex software as Linux [1]. In this talk, we will discuss this journey and then continue with the goal of opening the car compute system, CPU, sensors and AI accelerators, to foster better collaboration, and therefore achieve much faster turn-around time for new features. Last, we will discuss how RISC-V architecture can assist with running the same software on multiple generations of the hardware with different capabilities.
