The importance of software in automobiles grows rapidly. Many components in cars are already controlled by software. This trend will continue with new telematic- and infotainment-systems, which are offering the driver new innovative comfort- and safety functions on request. Around 90% of all new innovations in the car will be electrical/electronical. In conclusion, the complexity of such a system will continously increase, however, software has at the same time a much shorter lifecycle than the car itself. An open, modular and scalable softwareplatform is necessarsy to handle this complexity and lifecycle management. This paper will focus on an OSGi-Alliance specified service-delivery-platform, which includes all mentioned characteristics. The OSGi (Open Services Gateway Initiative)-Alliance is an independent, non profit corporation that was established in 1999. More than 40 member companies, such as Alpine Electronics, BMW, Bombardier Transportation, Deutsche Telekom, Nokia, Robert Bosch GmbH, Philips and ProSyst, actively support the OSGi-Alliance. The mission of the OSGi-Alliance is to specify a Java-based service-deliveryplatform that allows service-providers, gateway operators, device- and car manufacturers to develop, deploy and manage network-based services in a standarized and cost effective manner. As response to the high support of the automotive industry, the OSGi-Alliance has built a vehicle expert group, which specifies automotive relevant services, such as a Positioning API.
