ASAM OpenX standards honored with 2025 ADAS & Autonomous Vehicle Award in category "Collaboration"

Stuttgart, GERMANY, May 21, 2025 - ASAM is proud to announce that it has received the ADAS & Autonomous Vehicle International Award 2025 in the category of Collaboration for its ASAM OpenX standards. The award was presented at the ADAS & Autonomous Vehicle Technology Expo in Stuttgart and honors the OpenX standards as foundational enablers of cross-industry cooperation in the development of autonomous driving technologies.

“This award is a strong recognition of the role that the ASAM OpenX standards play in making collaboration possible across the mobility ecosystem,” said Dr. Ralf Nörenberg, Member of the ASAM Board of Directors. “They provide a common language for development, testing, and Validation and are essential for building interoperable, future-ready systems.”

The ASAM OpenX standards, including ASAM OpenDRIVE, ASAM OpenCRG, ASAM OpenSCENARIO, ASAM OpenLABEL, ASAM OpenMATERIAL 3D, ASAM OpenODD, and ASAM OSI, offer a suite of open, domain-specific specifications for Simulation-based development and Validation of ADAS and automated driving functions. These standards help overcome integration challenges by ensuring compatibility and interoperability between different companies, tools, and technologies.

The award recognizes how these standards have matured into de-facto references across the automotive industry, allowing developers, OEMs, tool vendors, and researchers to collaborate more effectively by working within a shared framework.

“We accept this award with gratitude and on behalf of all the contributors, industry experts, project participants, and Standard users, who continue to shape and apply the ASAM OpenX standards,” Nörenberg added. “Their input ensures these standards evolve with real-world needs, helping autonomous mobility become a reality.”

ASAM also thanked the organizers of the ADAS & Autonomous Vehicle International Awards for providing a platform that recognizes visionaries and promotes progress across the industry.

In his speech, Dr. Ralf Nörenberg acknowledged the commitment of the ASAM community to developing standards that enable collaboration across departments, unit, and company boundaries.
