Abstract Software development for automotive applications has become the most sophisticated and critical activity during the vehicle development. AUTOSAR (AUTomotive Open System ARchitecture) develops a standardized open software architecture for automotive electronic control units (ECUs). AUTOSAR is a partnership of automotive manufacturers, suppliers, and tool and semiconductor vendors. The focus is on managing the growing complexity in the development of automotive electric/electronic (E/E) architecture, with the aim to enable new technologies and improve development efficiency – without making compromises on quality. The standardization is realized in the three technical areas: 1. Software architecture 2. Development methodology 3. Application interfaces Besides this focus AUTOSAR’s key success factors are its development agreement that controls the legal part of the collaboration between the partners and its lean organization that distinguishes between the “Founding Fathers” (i.e., the core partners) and other partners (premium, development, and associate partners) and thus installs lean processes for fast decisions. As a result of its joint development activities, AUTOSAR has provided several releases since its foundation in 2002: The latest Release 4.2.1 has been delivered on October 31, 2014, and contains more than 218 concepts. By October 2014 more than 180 partner companies successfully share and live AUTOSAR’s fundamental principle: Cooperate on standardization, compete on implementation.
