The Federate Newsletter No. 8 (November 2025) highlights major developments in Europe’s software-defined vehicle (SDV) ecosystem, including the launch of the European Connected and Autonomous Vehicle Alliance (ECAVA) to boost collaboration on digital and autonomous mobility. FEDERATE announced new partnerships with key EU research projects—such as EEA4CCAM, UP2DATE4SDV, CODE4EV, TWINLOOP, RIGOLETTO, and S-CORE – to advance its SDVoF Strategic Roadmap. The newsletter also recaps webinars on the Eclipse S-CORE open-source middleware and the RIGOLETTO RISC-V initiative, along with the OCX 2026 Webinar Week hosted by the Eclipse Foundation. Finally, FEDERATE invites stakeholders to meet at EFECS 2025 in Malta to explore its collaborative approach to shaping the future of connected and autonomous vehicles in Europe.
