Painting the Landscape of Automotive Software in GitHub
Tue 24 May 2022 15:45 - 16:00 at Room 315+316 - Blended Technical Session 5 (Miscellaneous) Chair(s): Luís Cruz
The automotive industry has transitioned from being electro-mechanical to a software-intensive industry. A current high-end production vehicle contains 100 million+ lines of code surpassing modern airplanes, the Large Hadron Collider, the Android OS, and Facebook’s front-end software, in code size by a huge margin. Today, software companies worldwide, including Apple, Google, Huawei, Baidu, and Sony are reportedly working to bring their vehicles to the road. This paper ventures into the automotive software landscape in open source, providing a first glimpse into this multi-disciplinary industry with a long history of closed source development. We paint the landscape of automotive software on GitHub by describing their characteristics and development styles.
The landscape is defined by 15,000+ users contributing to ~600 actively-developed automotive projects created in a span of 12 years from 2010 until 2021. These projects range from vehicle dynamics related software; firmware and drivers for sensors like LiDAR and camera; algorithms for perception and motion control; to complete operating systems integrating the above. Developments in the field are spearheaded by industry and academia alike, with one in three actively developed automotive software repositories owned by an organization. We observe disruptions along multiple dimensions, including shift in preferred language from MATLAB to Python and prevalence of perception and decision related software over traditional automotive software. This study witnesses open source automotive software boom in its infancy with huge potential and implications for future research and practice.
