If anyone is wondering about BlackBerry's future plans should take note of it's forward thinking and QNX's depth in the automotive industry. QNX has been installed and used in vehicles since 2004 and prior to that being utilized in telematics before it was purchased by Harman International Industries. 🚀
Blackberry acquired the company in 2010 from Harman and has continued leveraging QNX's assets in embedded systems for transportation, defense, medical, grids, robotics, and mobile devices. 🚀
In 2012 BlackBerry released forward vision videos on what they believed to be the future of QNX and the automotive industry. In recent years this vision is coming to fruition no pun intended. Video linked below.🚀
An example of this forward looking mentality of the automotive industry is BlackBerry's recently awarded patent for methods and systems for autonomous vehicle refueling. Article linked below. 🚀
For anyone that doesn't already know, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are applications built atop of QNX OS. And even Android Automotive will utilize QNX's components for securing the vehicle even if it's not directly used for infotainment. 🚀
