No, I don’t want 40" touch screens mounted to the dash of my car nor do I want corpo goons driving my car.
A version of QNX (made by Blackberry) is in my Volkswagen. It’s quick, noninvasive, and still works well despite my removal of the 4G comm box that connected it to the Internet. I’d truly miss QNX if it disappeared.
Title gore?
Yeah, I don’t understand what that’s trying to say. BlackBerry got crushed by Apple and Google, that part is true…
But who’s in whose sights? Are Apple and Google in BlackBerry’s sights? Or is BlackBerry back in Apple and Google’s sights to be crushed again.
It’s a horrible title.
Mr. Owens, I have detected that I accidentally ran over a 67 year old woman, her pet Chihuahua and a little girl approximately 5 years, 6 months, 3 days and six hours old. I will shut down now for the authorities to correctly apply justice corrections. But first I need to backup because we already ran a red light. Tesla is hereby not responsible since you had your hands at the wheel during the accident. Sorry.
You know how your infotainment is fast to start up, works well and is only buggy when using CarPlay/AndroidAuto? Well now expect only the CarPlay/AA experience.
QNX is a great OS, and it’s unfortunate that instead of getting better integration, we’re getting whatever Google and Apple shovels at the auto industry.
To be honest, I haven’t had many issues with AA. My wife’s car has AA and it’s been better than the mutant abortion of a manufacturer-designed interface that my older car has.
So much this. I’ve driven a lot of Volkswagen group cars. Their software was great (built on QNX). Now only the real-time canbus part of the car runs on QNX (and is still rock solid) while the entertainment part runs on android and is a train wreck; crashes at least once/day.
Save us, Blackberry! You’re our only hope! (I am serious here)
