Open source development

There have been several projects aiming to develop a car on the principles of open design. The projects include OScar, Riversimple (through 40fires.org)^[46] and c,mm,n.^[47] None of the projects have reached significant success in terms of developing a car as a whole both from hardware and software perspective and no mass production ready open-source based design have been introduced as of late 2009. Some carhacking through on-board diagnostics (OBD) has been done so far.^[48]
