AGL is an open source project that is changing the way automotive manufacturers build software. Adopting an open platform across the industry enables automakers and suppliers to share and reuse the same code base, which reduces development costs, decreases time-to-market for new products and reduces fragmentation across the industry.

“FPT’s mission is to offer comprehensive automotive services and solutions that facilitates the use of infotainment, telematics and autonomous driving”. Said Mr. Nguyen Duc Kinh, Director of Automotive and Manufacturing industry, FPT Software. “We yearn to collaborate and contribute to the world’s largest open collaboration communities to jointly develop the next-gen technologies of Connected Car.”

The membership will not only further advance FPT’s automotive capabilities but also strengthen the company’s commitment to open innovation, which enables FPT to better serve global customers working on Connected Car particularly and automotive-related projects generally.
