Top-priority projects
Cloud & Connected Services Project (active)
Challenge: Enable the full data-oriented connected vehicle architecture
Enabling easy interoperability of parts, flexibility and choice
Developing common solutions and software
Enabling access to all data we want to exchange
Controlling access to data
Enabling user privacy and data security
Clarifying responsibilities
Facilitating business opportunities and contractual agreements
Agreeing on names, roles, responsibilities
Android Automotive Special Interest Group (active)
- Addressing shared technical challenges, improved software designs, and project-related questions in the industry adoption of Android Automotive into vehicles.
Hypervisor Project (active)
Challenge: Efficient realization of the move from networked system to consolidated systems
- Extending / developing HV APIs e.g. starting from virtio. Potentials for cross-industry consolidation?
- Understanding where Common Interfaces are feasible and realistic
- For implementors who are interested: Surveying and analyzing available HV choices.
- Building the system stack with hypervisors and networked operating system instances
Generic Communication Protocols Evaluation (active)
Challenge: Too many choices, too much diversity, too much boiler-plate code, adaption layers, and incompatibility.
Survey and compare choices MQTT-style, WAMP, RESTful/Web technology and other messaging level protocols
Deep dive: SOME/IP - where is it applicable, and where is it not?
- Discuss and reach consensus.
Industry preferred options: Say, among 10-15 choices now, find 3-5 recommended (and for which scenarios they are recommended)
Graphics Sharing & Distributed HMI Compositing (active)
Challenge: Consistent distributed HMI experience across distributed and diverse multi-ECU systems.
- Top-level compositing across domains for the same physical display, with or without mixed safety levels
- Diverse operating systems and HMI technologies
- Distributed HMIs - Wayland/Waltham... other
- + Graphics transfer encoding/technology
System Health, Debugging and Analysis in Distributed Systems (restarting)
Challenge: The complexity of debugging and running robustly automotive computing systems with today's constant connectivity, data distribution, consolidation/virtualization and cross-domain interactions.
Seeking out, evaluating, consolidating and recommending Tools and Standards that support development of virtualized or connected, distributed systems with cross-domain interactions.
User Input Distribution and Coordination (likely a sub-project of Graphics Sharing & Distributed HMI Compositing)
Challenge: Multiple inputs, varying by car model, technology, etc. bound to very complex multi-modal user interactions.
- Complexity in encoding rules from input to effect
- Bounded latency guarantees, time identification
- Modes / modality and dynamic rules
Comprehensive list of identified projects

I think it make sense to keep "Graphics Sharing & Distributed HMI Compositing" and "User Input Distribution and Coordination" topics very close together or maybe even putting the "User Input Distribution and Coordination" as sub point of the Graphics Sharing & Distributed HMI Compositing
