The two release sessions attracted more than 750 participants representing over 300 companies. For the first time in the history of Release Events, the presentations were streamed with multilingual support for Chinese and Japanese audiences.
This year’s presentations highlighted a detailed feature overview of the R24-11 release, showcasing the ongoing evolution of the AUTOSAR platforms. Additionally, attendees gained insights into AUTOSAR’s strategic vision for the future and an exciting preview of developments planned for 2025.
After a Welcome Note from AUTOSAR Spokesperson Günter Reichart, the event opened with a comprehensive introduction to the AUTOSAR organization, its development approach, and its core guiding principles, delivered by Project Leader Speaker Carmine De Iesu, Project Leader Speaker. AUTOSAR continues to fulfill its mission as a global partnership of leading companies in the automotive and software industries, collaboratively developing and promoting scalable software platforms and E/E system architecture to enable intelligent mobility.
The R24-11 Feature Overview was the highlight of both sessions. Participants were given deep dives into Automotive API, AP Stabilization, Machine Configuration on the Adaptive Platform, DDS in Foundation and Platforms, and the Feature Graph. Engagement was high, and participants from both sessions had many questions and comments relating to the new release, which led to lively Q&A discussions.
Chairperson Michael Niklas-Höret provided a glimpse into 2025, explaining that AUTOSAR is working on scalable software and E/E architecture due to the complexity of new sensors, radars, ECU, DATA and most importantly, compatibility between manufacturers to communicate safely.
Moreover, supports the transformation to SDV by avoiding parallel development and focusing on cross-industry collaboration. One particular focus is the SOAFEE/AUTOSAR collaboration for both the Classic and Adaptive Platforms. There will be a Kick-Off SOAFEE working group at the All Working Group Meeting in March. Further plans for 2025 include the conclusion of the AUTOSAR Opening Strategy with the finalization of the AUTOSAR Open Framework.
