From Proprietary To Open Source

The industry has long tackled software challenges independently – often duplicating efforts and building closed, incompatible systems.

S-CORE changes this by uniting OEMs, suppliers and developers around a common SW-platform. The goal of S-CORE is to reduce complexity, promote re-use, gain speed & enable scalable innovation.

Join our global community building a common, safety-critical runtime foundation for automotive innovation.

S-CORE In A Nutshell

Together...

S-CORE began in 2024 with five initial members: Accenture, BMW, ETAS, Mercedes-Benz, and Qorix – “the coalition of the willing”.
Since then, both active participation and global interest have grown significantly.

...we´re shaping an open-source and code-based SW-platform...

S-CORE solves the requirements of a future SDV with a collaborative, open, and modular approach. Developed by and for the industry, it delivers a robust core architecture that reduces integration effort, enhances safety, and accelerates development.
Rather than fostering competition through proprietary, stacks, S-CORE enables collaboration through standardisation.

...for "dynamic core" components with strict requirements of a future SDV.

S-CORE bridges the OS–application gap and is being developed as a modular, standards-oriented middleware. The goal: enable predictable, safe, and reusable execution environments across diverse hardware and ECU types – without prescribing a fixed implementation.
Its architecture is designed for safety-critical contexts – especially ADAS, Body, and Chassis – and supports compliance with ISO 26262 and ISO/SAE 21434.

What are the deliverables of S-CORE?

Besides describing the SW-platform, S-CORE provides a huge load of complementary deliverables.

Image

Why is S-CORE Needed

Image
Common Stack & Collaboration

A common full-stack software runtime addressing shared industry problems through joint solutions.

Image
Speed

Accelerates development by working in open source with code-centric, iterative methods.

Image
Abstraction & Extensibility

Decouples HW and SW with flexible layers and enables project-specific extensions of the stack.

Image
Quality & Efficiency

A lean, no-frills solution using modern languages, readable specs, and safe open source processes.
