Chips Joint Undertaking (Chips JU)

Coordination of the European software-defined vehicle platform

Funds one coordination action steering Europe's open-source, software-defined autonomous-driving vehicle stack.

One consortium coordinates the roadmap and stakeholder engagement under a single-stage Coordination and Support Action, funded as a lump sum. The Chips JU expects one grant from this topic's EUR 2,000,000 budget.

This topic funds a single Coordination and Support Action that steers a European agenda for a software-defined, hardware-enabled autonomous-driving vehicle stack built in Europe, from onboard compute to the cloud. It wants the action to link software, AI/data, hardware and deployment actors, and to engage automotive OEMs, suppliers, tool providers, and open-source initiatives such as S-CORE.
