An open-source car is a car with open design—designed as open-source hardware, using open-source principles.

Automobiles

Open-source cars include:

  • Rally Fighter, an all-terrain vehicle by Local Motors uses a design released under a CC-BY-NC-SA license
  • SGT01 from Wikispeed
  • OScar – started in 1999, still in concept phase as of 2013.
  • OSVehicle – Tabby – Tabby is the first OSVehicle: an industrializable, production ready, versatile, universal chassis.[1][2]
  • Riversimple Urban Car: The CAD models for the Riversimple Hyrban technology demonstrator have been released under a CC-BY-NC-SA
  • C,mm,n – Dutch electric car (2009)[3][4]
  • OSCav, an open-source compressed air vehicle
  • eCorolla, an electric vehicle conversion
  • LifeTrac tractor [5] from Open Source Ecology
  • Luka EV, an electric car production platform which first car is the Luka EV.[6] 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”[7]

Other open-source vehicles

Some open-source vehicles, such as the PUUNK velomobile,[8] the Hypertrike,[9] and the Xtracycle, are technically not automobiles.

gollark: Actually, I have no idea how to use cryptography™ for this without a trusted person. It would probably be possible with accursed zero knowledge proof stuff.
gollark: It would also be possible to use cryptography™.
gollark: ABR can be trusted to do all things trustworthily.
gollark: Complex numbers can, according to science, be represented as matrices.
gollark: You still rely on those, instead of directed orbital gamma ray sources?
