SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Automotive Grade Linux (AGL), a collaborative cross-industry effort developing an open source platform for all connected car technologies, has announced the latest code release of the AGL platform, UCB 14, also known under the codename "Nifty Needlefish."
Developed through a joint effort by AGL member companies, the Unified Code Base (UCB) is an open source software platform that can serve as the de facto industry standard for infotainment, telematics and instrument cluster applications.
"We are very excited to incorporate support for new technologies like Flutter, which will make it easier to develop apps for AGL," said Dan Cauchy, Executive Director of Automotive Grade Linux at the Linux Foundation. "We look forward to demonstrating some of the new platform features at Automotive Linux Summit in Yokohama in December and at CES 2023 Las Vegas in January."
