1. Standardization in Automotive Infotainment with GENIVI and CCC
Philippe GICQUEL,
General Manager EE Cockpit, PSA Peugeot Citroen
President GENIVI Alliance

2. Agenda
Preamble – Business segmentation GENIVI and CCC / MirrorLink Perspectives on Apps development

3. Preamble
Customer experience is driven by Consumer Electronics Should we leverage customer devices or be more agile on embedded Infotainment ? Both ! How ? Through extensive use of standards

4. Business segmentation
Car Level
automotive - mobility
entertainment - phone
Use embedded solution
Leverage customer smartphone
e-call
World will not use smartphone only or embedded only in the next years

5. GENIVI and CCC/MirrorLink

6. The GENIVI Charter Mission, Purpose and Deliverables
GENIVI is a non-profit industry alliance committed to driving the broad adoption of an In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) based on a compliance statement.
GENIVI will accomplish this by aligning requirements, delivering reference implementations, offering certification programs and fostering a vibrant open source IVI community
Purpose
Ease IVI product integration
Enable open innovation and inheritance from adjacent industries
Deliverables
Aligned IVI requirements across a broad base of OEMs
Code that “satisfies” the requirements and “demonstrates” the compliance statements
A compliance program against which commercial and FOSS offerings can be certified and ISVs can develop.
Mission, Purpose and Deliverables are self explanatory. Compliance program release is most important current deliverable, covered in later slides

9. Some of Car Connectivity Consortium Members

10. GENIVI Target Non-differentiating elements of the solution stack
Differentiation
Integration
Commercial and Proprietary solutions
Implementation Competition
Automaker and Tier1 Supplier Domain
Apps
OSV
Extensions
Libs
HMI - Human Machine Interface
Non-differentiating features
Consolidated Requirements
Auto Specific Middleware
Validation/Compliance
Alliance Domain
Open Source Linux Kernel
Open Source IVI Stack
GENIVI’s targeted stack components will be non-differentiating or ‘commodity’ features – typically middleware. Higher stack levels such as HMI and apps will be focal point of IVI competition

MirrorLink
PlaceholderComponent P2
Description:
This component provides MirrorLink capabilities to the platform.
MirrorLink is a protocol suite to control arbitrary applications (aka apps) on a connected smart phone.
The specification for MirrorLink is freely available at
This component complies with version 1.0 of the specification. It does not contain anything 1.1 specific as this version of the specification is not yet freely available.

13. GENIVI moves to OpenSource. What about MirrorLink ?
GENIVI has started to move implementation projects in the open-source world. It leads to share specifications on certain topics in the open.
MirrorLink shared it’s 1.0 specification enabling OpenSource implementation.
it seems important to continue in this way
specification 1.1 is expected as soon as possible in the open too.

Need for standardized Automotive WebAPI

16. Apps need Car Data
While the user drives it’s car, a big amount of data is created and circulates in the car electronic infrastructure.
These data are valuable for plenty people and companies.
There is a large number of initiatives to define a standard.
Through its connections with both Autosar and W3C, GENIVI is in a perfect position to drive the translation and expose vehicle ECU messages to Infotainment Web engine.
CCC/MirrorLink needs to address the question of giving access to Automotive Data.
CCC could stick to this GENIVI initiative in order to avoid another fragmented branch.

17. Considerations on MirrorLink ecosystem
Certified Apps development need to accelerate now, without waiting for car data interface
To motivate Apps developments :
MirrorLink availability in Phone OEMs roadmaps need to be communicated
MirrorLink availability in Automotive OEMs roadmaps need to be communicated
Certification process has to be easy and cheap.
The fact that Apps deployment targets could be both smartphones and embedded systems in the future would make the market larger for Apps. Close collaboration between GENIVI and CCC make sense on this topic.
