Discover why we are the provider of choice for in-car computing

If you are a vehicle manufacturer or tier one supplier, we can help you address several of today’s toughest challenges:

• Vehicle brand image [+] More

  The quality and performance of in-car electronics must be high and they must also be associated with the OEM brand – not the Microsoft, Apple, or QNX brand. QNX technology and our industry-leading automotive ecosystem not only support full customization of the user experience, they also enable an automotive-grade software environment that upholds the reputation of your brand.

• Technological obsolescence [+] More

  Slow-moving automotive cycles are incompatible with the fast moving consumer electronics industry. Thanks to a robust architecture and modular components, the QNX Neutrino RTOS and automotive-grade middleware solutions make updates possible – well after a vehicle is on the road – without down time.

• Driver distraction [+] More

  Given the large amounts of information, data, and content that can be presented to a driver, interaction with software must be kept simple and intuitive to avoid road safety issues. From the OS itself to middleware, QNX Software Systems provides solutions that are inherently multi-modal – where one application supports multiple interfaces (voice, touch screen, steering wheel controls, and so on).

• Massive customization [+] More

  Next generation systems have to be fully customizable in terms of look and feel, content, information presentation, and so on, but must also support tailored reuse of components across OEMs, brand-specific OEM customization, and even end-user personalization.

  QNX Software Systems and the QNX automotive ecosystem partners provide a variety of customizable, standards-based user interface solutions. Couple this with the inherent self-healing reliability of the QNX Neutrino RTOS and the QNX Momentics development suite, and the end result is a solution that can stand up to endless changes, downloads, updates, and customizations.

• Complex, connected, and integrated systems [+] More

  The increasing complexity of in-cab electronics due to different wireless and vehicle bus connectivity options, off-board content, multiple file systems, integration with other vehicle components and third-party solutions, makes using legacy and consumer-oriented operating systems costly if not impossible.

  The QNX Neutrino RTOS was built from the ground up for complex system software challenges and has been field-proven in everything from television remotes to the world’s largest router. What’s more, the QNX Multimedia Solution brings the ultimate in connectivity to the worlds most reliable OS for unprecedented in-car support of portable devices.

• Shrinking development schedules [+] More

  The typical three- to five-year development schedule must be reduced to match consumer expectations, however, components must perform to the standard automotive life expectancy of seven to ten years.

  Industry-leading productivity tools and the industry’s most comprehensive automotive ecosystem mean OEMs can innovate, track, and develop to consumer trends while meeting tight time lines. The inherent quality and future-proof design philosophy of the QNX Neutrino RTOS also mean installed product will more than exceed the standard automotive life expectancy.

• Escalating costs [+] More

  Today’s bill of materials costs can easily get out of hand with the growing need for high-end processors, third-party integration, software royalties, and so on.

  With technologies such as Instant Device Activation and support for the latest automotive system-on-a-chip (SoC) processors, QNX is driving BOM cost down for broad deployment in any class of vehicle. What’s more, our visualization tools and elegant architecture continue to make integration easier and more cost effective.
