Overview

Vehicle Information Service Specification (VISS) is an API for accessing the COVESA Vehicle Signal Specification (VSS) data. The work started at The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) in collaboration with GENIVI and its successor COVESA. The W3C Automotive Working Group closed in February of 2024 and the work is continuing at COVESA.
