An open-source car is a car with open design: designed as open-source hardware, using open-source principles.
Automobiles[]
Open-source cars include:
Completed and available to build, with link to CAD files and build instructions:
- OSVehicle Tabby: Tabby is the first OSVehicle: an industrializable, production ready, versatile, universal chassis.
Concept stage:
- SGT01 from Wikispeed
- OScar: started in 1999, still in concept phase as of 2013.
- Common, Dutch electric car (2009)[1][2]
- eCorolla, an electric vehicle conversion
- LifeTrac tractor [3] from Open Source Ecology
- Luka EV, an electric car production platform which first car is the Luka EV.[4] Only Mrk I & II are open source, the source was closed in July 2016 to allow commercial production of Mrk III
- , a multi-purpose mode of transport. It can be used as a farm vehicle that attaches to farming equipment or as a means to transport the produce. This car was create by an Indian team for the 2016 Michelin Challenge Design, “Mobility for All International Design Competition”[5]
Self-driving car prototypes have collected petabytes of data. Some companies, including Daimler, Baidu, Aptiv, Lyft, Waymo, Argo AI, Ford and Audi have publicly released datasets under more-or-less open licenses.[6]
Other open-source vehicles[]
Many open-source vehicles come in the form of velomobiles, like the PUUNK,[7] the Hypertrike,[8] the evovelo mö[9][10] or the Atomic Duck velomobile.[11]
Other open-source vehicles include the Xtracycle.
