Blackberry joint Qualcomm announced: to expand cooperation in the field of Internet cars

With the advent of the 5G business era, the cornerstone of the Internet of Everything is nearing completion, and the hottest driverless car of the moment benefits from the ultra-fast bandwidth of the 5G network to allow for more rapid and timely computational feedback for driverless cars Into people's lives into the next step may be.

The face of the trend of driverless cars, technology giants have also begun to unite in an attempt to seize the initiative.

Today, according to Reuters news reports, Qualcomm and BlackBerry announced that the two sides will expand cooperation and tap the potential of the rapidly growing Internet car market.Blackberry said the company will be in the virtual cockpit controller, electronic gateway controller and infotainment systems The field uses Qualcomm hardware.

Qualcomm said in June that QNX Hypervisor 2.0-compliant Snapdragon 820Am automotive processors allow automakers to consolidate multiple systems on a single platform, reducing hardware complexity and cost.

You may wonder why a cellphone chip giant is working with a declining mobile giant to make an Internet car?

However, the fact is not what you think in the face of the already sluggish mobile phone business, the BlackBerry has already begun to transition in June this year, BlackBerry released QNX Hypervisor 2.0 software, this software is designed for automatic driving, the main Focus on safety and security issues.

As we all know, both the Internet car, and even the future of driverless cars, are connected to the network to make real-time calculations. As long as the Internet connection, then there is an unavoidable topic - hackers. Suppose a driverless car network was Hackers overcome, then how will the consequences will be unthinkable.

As for BlackBerry, security technology has always been one of its core technologies, which is evident from the BlackBerry, knowing that the BlackBerry was once a must-have secure phone for the president of the United States.

It is reported, QNX Hypervisor 2.0 uses the BlackBerry 64-bit embedded operating system QNX SDP 7.0, allowing developers to multiple operating systems unified to a single computing platform or SoC chip, reducing costs and sizes.Developers isolated security-related and non-security Related software components to simplify the certification process for safety-critical systems, while safety-related components run on one operating system and non-safety-related components run on another operating system on the virtual machine.

Blackberry has already developed QNX Hypervisor 2.0 software to run sophisticated computer systems in cars, and Blackberry said it will use QUALCOMM's hardware in areas such as virtual cockpit controllers, electronic gateway controllers and infotainment systems.

And Qualcomm, already had its patented era of eating in the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon technology summit, Qualcomm United Microsoft, AMD, Hewlett-Packard, Asus and other well-known PC makers, introduced the Windows 10 ARM notebook, began to formally enter the field of PC. In addition, last year also announced the acquisition of NXP Semiconductors to spend 38 billion US dollars in order to become a leader in the rapidly growing automotive chip market.

Therefore, the cooperation between Qualcomm and Blackberry is not just a slapstick.
