Description
Software-defined vehicles (SDVs) are increasingly conceptualized as digital platforms that enable ecosystem-based innovation. Integrating external consumer devices through Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) scenarios challenges how platform owners govern openness while preserving safety-critical system integrity. This study examines how boundary resources (BRs) can be extended to support controlled BYOD integration in SDV ecosystems. Adopting a design science research approach, we design and instantiate an open BYOD collaboration platform using the infotainment domain as a representative case for evaluation via expert interviews. While practical testing was intentionally restricted to non-safety-critical functions for experimental safety, the proposed BR framework is conceptualized to support broader platform expansion provided that additional regulatory standards are met. The findings identify four categories of BR extensions—technical, partner network, knowledge, and validation resources that regulate complementor participation and device integration. By conceptualizing BYOD integration as a controlled platform expansion mechanism, the study extends platform governance research to safety-critical platforms.
