What is AGL?

• Non-profit
• Open source Linux-based collaborative project
• Hosted at Linux Foundation
• Focused on rapid innovation of vehicle software

Slide 7

AGL VALUES

Standardized open operating system, middleware, services and application framework

• Not under the control of any one company
• Developed collaboratively by many companies
• Lower cost by sharing development work of the common bits

AGL decreases time to market and can provide functionality similar to the smart phone with periodic over-the-air updates

AGL enables an ecosystem of “AGL Ready” suppliers for hardware, software, UI, services, apps

• AGL enables a global app developer ecosystem
• Hit the ground running on new projects

Open Robust

Ecosystem

AGL EXPERT GROUPS

Slide 33

“You don’t have to be an expert to work in an Expert Group” – Walt Miner, AGL Community Manager

Expert Groups

• Current AGL Expert Groups (EG)
• Application Framework and Security
• Connectivity
• Continuous Integration and Automated Test
• Graphics and UI
• Navigation
• Virtualization
• Reference Hardware System Architecture

Slide 34

Virtualization (EG-VIRT)

• First milestone achieved
• Built in support for KVM hypervisor for R-Car M3
• Code merged
• EG-VIRT is a key component in our vision of

the complete cockpit architecture

• Run AGL side-by-side with legacy RTOS
• In discussions with hypervisor companies –

they plan to join this effort

Slide 35

Reference Hardware System Arch EG

• EG led by Mazda with Toyota, Suzuki, Honda,

Subaru participating

• First draft of document is ready!
• Document published on AGL wiki
• Defines key hardware components and

interfaces

• Will be used to drive the creation of new HW

boards and software requirements

Slide 36

Established a good base! What’s next?

AA – Agile Albacore – Jan 2016

BB – Brilliant Blowfish – July 2016 CC – Charming Chinook – Dec 2016 DD – Daring Dab – July 2017

Slide 37

It’s time to move up the stack, services, applications.

Proposed Expert Groups

• Vehicle to Cloud (V2C)
• Voice Recognition
• Content Delivery (Streaming Music/Video)
• Security Vulnerability Action Team
• Functional Safety Expert Group

Slide 38

New: V2C Expert Group

• Creation of a Vehicle to Cloud Expert Group
• Split out the following from Connectivity EG
• Cloud Connectivity (e.g. Iotivity)
• Connected Car
• Remote Vehicle Interactions
• ForgeRock volunteered to lead this effort
• Recruiting other AGL members to get involved!
• Recruiting new members

Slide 39

Proposed: Voice Recognition EG

• Nuance and Voicebox have joined AGL
• In discussion with other major players
• Vision is to form a Voice Rec Expert Group
• Define industry standard Voice Rec APIs and

service binders

• Goal is for application providers to easily

integrate Voice Rec within their Apps without needing to know anything about voice rec

Slide 40

Proposed: Content Delivery Streaming EG

• In discussion with major content delivery

companies

• Vision is to form a content delivery Expert

Group

• Define industry standard content streaming

APIs to interface seamlessly with content providers

Slide 41

Proposed: Security Vulnerability Team

• The AGL Advisory Board has reviewed a proposal to create an AGL

Security Vulnerability process

• Setup process to secretly share newly found vulnerabilities related

to AGL code

• AGL would apply with the appropriate software security
• rganizations to get early notifications
• AGL would act upon those notifications and provide fixes/patches
• Denso is leading this effort – thank you!
• Next step:
• Need to define the process and get buy-in
• Need to put in place some security experts that can do this

work for AGL

Slide 42

Proposed: Functional Safety

• ISO26262 and/or other relevant certifications
• Continues to be a hot topic
• AGL Advisory Board approved that we move forward
• Get experts involved and define our roadmap
• Many companies want to get involved
• Next step:
• Recruit expert(s)
• Identify requirements and roadmap
• Form an Expert Group for this activity
