Developing Standards for AI-Native Automotive Retail

Shared standards for connected, responsible automotive AI

Open Auto is developing shared standards for how AI and automotive systems connect and behave.

Automotive retail needs standards built for automotive reality.

General AI protocols help systems find tools and exchange information. Automotive journeys add customer permission, dealer and provider handoffs, retail operations, and applicable rules. Open Auto focuses on those industry-specific needs.

Open Auto should complement broader protocol ecosystems, not depend on or compete with a single one.

What Open Auto Is Developing

Agent interoperability protocols

Common ways for AI to find automotive services, send the right information, request permission, and understand the result.

Behavioral principles

Shared expectations for consent, clear information, human help, and accountability.

Open specifications

Technical guidance developers can review, test, use, and improve.

Reference implementations

Working examples used to test proposed standards and find gaps.

Future education & certification pathways

Possible future programs after standards, criteria, and governance are defined.

Bring real automotive needs into the process.
