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:

Concept stage:

  • FOSSHW Category L7e Hybrid EV[7]
  • Luka EV, an electric car production platform which first car is the Luka EV.[8] Only Mrk I & II are open source, the source was closed in July 2016 to allow commercial production of Mrk III
  • Google Community Vehicle, 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"[9]

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.[10]

Other open-source vehicles

Many open-source vehicles come in the form of velomobiles, like the PUUNK,[11] the Hypertrike,[12] the evovelo mö[13][14] or the Atomic Duck velomobile.[15]

Other open-source vehicles include the Xtracycle.
