Mercedes-Benz embraces Open Source to drive its digital ecosystem
London, 10 November 2023, (Oilandgaspress) – Mercedes-Benz is driving the digital transformation. Under the slogan “Enterprise Transformation – 100% Digital” the Group aims to establish itself as a leading automotive manufacturer in digitalization. The use of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) has played a decisive role in the development of vehicles and integrated software, but also in many other areas of the company. FOSS is in the vehicles, in mobile apps and in the enterprise software. Mercedes-Benz uses open source technologies to accelerate innovation, increase efficiency in software development, and promote the use of existing components.
Mercedes-Benz encourages its developers not only to use FOSS, but also to contribute to existing open-source projects and to publish new projects of their own. At the beginning of 2021, with the Mercedes-Benz FOSS Manifesto, the company established internal guidelines and created the opportunity to open up to the global FOSS community at the same time. The company aims to further expand its participation in the open-source community. In addition, Mercedes-Benz also applies inner source, whereby the open-source methods and techniques are used internally to promote global collaboration and collaborative learning. The Group promotes awareness of open and inner source, for example through organizational roles, online training and an internal lecture series on knowledge exchange. More than 10,000 active users work on the collaboration platforms at Mercedes-Benz. The company is driving the development of the digital ecosystem through the daily use of FOSS.
