Nowadays, Linux is the most widely used operating system in computers: from desktop computers to server systems to embedded systems. Linux is also gaining increasing traction in the automotive industry. For instance, the GENIVI Alliance defines the Linux-based "in-vehicle infotainment software" as open source software. Linux is not only enjoying increasing importance when it comes to infotainment, but also in the vehicle as a whole. The AUTOSAR adaptive platform creates a standard that is based on POSIX-compliant operating systems - which also include Linux -, offering a real alternative to the conventional AUTOSAR, including for ASIL-relevant controllers.
