The project allows people to copy, edit, and share confidential information about a car manufacturing technology without having to pay royalties to the inventor.

Anyone from now on, including car manufacturers, will be encouraged to make models of cars, of course, without any copyright or proprietary data. In short, the OSCAR project is attracting many engineers, designers and car experts on online forums to exchange ideas on how to improve the design phase of the car.

Markus Merz hopes that due to the absence of copyright restrictions and the frequent barriers such as profitability, marketing and technology, professionals will come up with more advanced solutions. new.
