PLATFORM PLATFORM
GENIVI stands ready to lead the way forward by developing a reusable,
open source IVI platform consisting of the essential core services (e.g., Sponsor technical, marketing
and compliance programs
media and graphics) required by IVI systems. The GENIVI platform will
establish a foundation upon which automobile manufacturers and their
suppliers can add their differentiated products and services, resulting in
faster time-to-market and dramatically reduced development costs.
