In May of 2020, a number of companies initiated a conversation about the Common Vehicle Interface Initiative (CVII) in a panel discussion held at the GENIVI Virtual Tech Summit, which has led to W3C and GENIVI spearheading a coordination initiative in the automotive and web industries.

The core of the initiative gathers around this question:

   “Is it time to finally define the industry-wide standard vehicle data model?"

It The initiative then extends that discussion the established idea of standard data , to also include an organization of many ongoing standard interface/API activities, and proposes that also those should be based on an industry-wide standard service/interface model.  CVII shall also model to functional interfaces.   CVII sets out to promote and drive the creation of standard interface and data catalogs (A catalog is a standard collection of defined data or interfaces/APIs).of industry-wide standard service/interfaces (one or several standard catalogs) as well as a standard way to describe those services and interfaces (services model)  

The idea of inviting many industry development organizations to a wide initiative was based on seeing a number of industry trends, specific requests from some companies for a similar activity, and a natural extension of collaboration already in place between different industry organizations like GENIVI, W3C, Sensoris, AUTOSAR and others.

After completing some initial activities (virtual panels, presentations, OEM-only-roundtable meetings, and other outreach), the initiative should can now be considered started.  
The work is already underway and gradually being organized from a outreach-discussion to become a proper project, or a collection of related projects under the initiative.
