Open-source car

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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.
