1684 Hyundai Autron has selected 4275 BlackBerry QNX to power its next-generation advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving software platform.


BlackBerry says its QNX OS for Safety solution will provide the Hyundai subsidiary with a secure embedded operating system for safety and “mission-critical” applications.

BlackBerry’s executive chairman John Chen says: “BlackBerry QNX software meets the ISO 26262 ASIL-D level of certification which is the most stringent safety classification for the automotive market.”

QNX can also be used in a car’s digital instrument clusters, connectivity modules, hands-free systems and infotainment systems.

The ADAS and autonomous driving software platform is expected to be commercialised by Hyundai Autron’s OEM customers.

    Highly automated driving ‘to spark adoption of centralised ADAS’
    As vehicles become highly independent and begin to drive and react to traffic on their own, autonomous systems will aggregate and process data from a variety of on-board sensors and connected infrastructure, says ABI Research. This forces the industry to hit a hard reset on advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) architectures, currently dominated by distributed processing and smart sensors. Automotive OEMs will need to adopt new platforms based on powerful, centralised processors and high-speed low la
