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.

OEMS

Tiers

SW-Supplier

Service Provider

...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.

Open Source

Code Based

...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.

Quality (ASPICE)

Safety (ISO 26262)

Security (ISO 21434)

The focus of S-CORE are safety-critical in-car components

S-CORE aims to build-up all SW-platform layers below the application layer and above the board support package of the SoC.

What are the deliverables of S-CORE?

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

Why is S-CORE Needed

Common Stack & Collaboration

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

Speed

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

Abstraction & Extensibility

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

Quality & Efficiency

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