How to Help Your Business Become an AI Early Adopter
"The Linux Foundation, the nonprofit organization dedicated to
accelerating the growth of Linux, today announced that Toyota is
its newest member. A major shift is underway in the automotive
industry. Carmakers are using new technologies to deliver on
consumer expectations for the same connectivity in their cars as
they've come to expect in their homes and offices. From dashboard
computing to In-Vehicle-Infotainment (IVI), automobiles are
becoming the latest wireless devices – on wheels.
The Linux operating system is providing a common platform that
helps connect the world's network of devices, including cars. As an
open source operating system, it provides automakers and their
partners the flexibility they require to bring to market the latest
technology features quickly.
Toyota is joining The Linux Foundation as a Gold member to
maximize its own investment in Linux while fostering open
innovation throughout the automotive ecosystem.
