Hyundai Mobis, a subsidiary of the Hyundai Motor Group, has chosen BlackBerry’s (TSX:BB) QNX technology to power its upcoming digital cockpit platform.
This collaboration aims to enhance the driving experience by integrating advanced safety features and personalized interfaces.
Hyundai Mobis will utilize the QNX Hypervisor for Safety and the QNX Advanced Virtualization Frameworks (QAVF) to create a robust software foundation for its next-generation cockpit. This platform is designed to seamlessly integrate multiple screens and components, including a digital cluster and infotainment system, while supporting a rich ecosystem of safety applications.
In a news release, Sung-Hoon Lee, senior vice president of sales division at Hyundai Mobis, emphasized the company’s commitment to innovation: “Hyundai Mobis is dedicated to simplifying the process for automakers to develop futuristic vehicles equipped with intuitive and safe technologies. With BlackBerry QNX technology at the core of our digital cockpit platform, we are paving the way for a smarter, more sophisticated future for drivers and passengers, ensuring safety and reliability.”
The QNX Hypervisor for Safety is certified to ISO 26262 – ASIL D, the highest functional safety standard in the automotive industry. This certification allows for the consolidation of multiple systems with varying criticality and operating environments—such as Linux and Android—onto a single hardware platform. This not only streamlines development but also reduces long-term ownership costs while enhancing safety and security.
Dhiraj Handa, vice president for the Asia Pacific region at BlackBerry QNX, expressed confidence in the partnership: “As the leader in safety-certified embedded software for the automotive sector, BlackBerry QNX is committed to providing a secure and reliable software foundation for our partners. We believe that Hyundai Mobis’ innovative digital cockpit platform will be embraced by automakers globally, enhancing the safety and personalization of the in-car experience.”
BlackBerry QNX is already trusted by numerous leading OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers worldwide, including BMW, Bosch, and Toyota. Its foundational software supports a wide range of applications, from digital cockpits and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) to infotainment systems, enabling automakers to accelerate innovation while managing costs effectively.
BlackBerry provides intelligent security software and services to enterprises and governments around the world. The company secures more than 500 million endpoints including more than 235 million vehicles.
BlackBerry stock (TSX:BB) last traded at C$$3.20. Though it has lost 31.91 per cent since the beginning of the year, its stock has risen 10.34 per cent over the past three months.
