Hi @ggnall, thanks for your message. These details are still private at the moment. More info will be available soon. Sign-up to stay up to date 😉
Looks cool. FYI - Clicking on the POM logo opens the image in the same tab.
I really hope the rise of electric cars will make us work on the more important, underlying issue - finding a sustainable (aka green) way to generate energy in mass scale.
@kingkcbarrett Yes, we just announced the partnership with Renault & ARM at the CES 2017
@kingkcbarrett We are adding POM open source platform by Renault to our ecosystem together with TABBY EVO 2 seats and 4 seats version. Another great ready-to-use platform to develop on!
@yukiliu @tin_hang_liu that's fantastic! How have the crash avoidance tests compared to other systems? I have to imagine that it avoids Mercedes, Audis, BMW, and Porches better than other systems. Does it reverse well? What's it's U-turn, and K-Turn times? They have to be record setting, because it's made with Renault
@kingkcbarrett thank you! Sure why not. POM doesn't have it in the standard configuration, that's why we are encouraging hackers, startups, companies to develop new technologies on top of it
@geesignz here are some (public) examples of EVs developed by our customers https://www.osvehicle.com/projects/
Hi hunters,
I’m Tin, the founder and CEO of OSVehicle (YC W16), which makes open source electric vehicle hardware platforms (chassis, braking and suspension system, lithium batteries, electric motor, etc…).
I’m proud to announce here a new platform is entering our ecosystem, POM, based on the Renault Twizy EV and soon available for everyone to develop, hack, create new mobility solutions.
For the first time in the automotive history, a big automaker is releasing its electric vehicle platform in Open Source and it will be available to everyone on sale through a partnership with OSVehicle.
Also ARM is involved in this partnership.

Feel free to ask me and my team anything here too! We’d love to hear your feedback.
.@tin_hang_liu Cool! I've wanted a Twizy since they first came out. Now I just need to learn to code.
@tin_hang_liu Wow! This is amazing! Definitely interested in learning a lot more about the platform and the partnership details.
@sambhu thank you! You can find on the link the specifications and please sign up on the form to receive future communications
Sounds great! Just to be clear is the product going to be a clean chassis such as the Tabby? And is the platform available for modifications? ie: building a new exterior+interior based on the existing chassis?
Awesome! This is the perfect platform for hackers / developers.
Will you assist your clients in obtaining a licence plate?
@ldunys absolutely, this is one of the most requested services from our clients
Congrats! This is one of the most exciting ideas out there right now. As innovation spreads to cars, an open-source player is very important.
@tomflemming we have some clients from UK, I hope they'll show us something soon!
It's amazing how much of the car hardware, software and data are open access thanks to the future car companies.
