AUTOSAR - Members

Members

There are four types of membership for AUTOSAR:

  • Core (founding) members
  • Premium members
  • Associate members
  • Development members

Core membership only is available for leading car manufacturers and Tier1; the other types of membership are open to other companies as well.

9 Core members include the BMW Group, Daimler AG, Ford Motor Company, General Motors, Opel, Toyota Motor Corporation, PSA Peugeot Citroën, Volkswagen and automotive suppliers Bosch, Continental AG and Siemens VDO (now Continental AG).

There are a total of 146 corporate members as of October 2012.

The professed goals are modularity, scalability, transferability and re-usability of functions to provide a standardized platform for automotive systems. This will enable system wide configuration and optimization to meet run-time requirements of automotive devices. Many of the low-level components of AUTOSAR (the real time operating system and communications layer) are derived from OSEK work.

    “A family with the wrong members in control—that, perhaps, is as near as one can come to describing England in a phrase.”
    —George Orwell (1903–1950)

    “I believe that the members of my family must be as free from suspicion as from actual crime.”
    —Julius Caesar [Gaius Julius Caesar] (100–44 B.C.)

    “I esteem it the happiness of this country that its settlers, whilst they were exploring their granted and natural rights and determining the power of the magistrate, were united by personal affection. Members of a church before whose searching covenant all rank was abolished, they stood in awe of each other, as religious men.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
