WATERLOO, ON and BEIJING, March 8,
2021 /PRNewswire/ -- BlackBerry
Limited (NYSE: BB; TSX: BB) today announced that it has teamed
up with Desay SV Automotive to launch a dual-screen virtual smart
cabin domain controller to enable safer driving. Leveraging the
QNX® Hypervisor and the QNX® Real-time
Operating System (RTOS), the new technology is now available in
leading Chinese automaker Chery's Tiggo 8 Plus and Jetour X90
models.
Developed and built on the Chery T1X platform, the Tiggo 8 Plus
is Chery's flagship SUV, while the next generation Jetour X90
is the brand's first Jetour vehicle equipped with the L2
intelligent automated driving system, providing drivers and
passengers with a cinematic experience while on the road. Both
models are equipped with Desay SV Automotive's latest smart cabin
domain controller, built on the QNX Hypervisor. The QNX Hypervisor
provides the trusted reliability and performance of the
QNX® Neutrino® RTOS, while also allowing
multiple operating systems to safely co-exist on the same
system-on-a-chip (SoC). With the QNX Hypervisor, developers can
partition and isolate safety-critical and infotainment systems,
ensuring the continued function of critical systems even if other
components fail.
"Thanks to its advanced technology and rapid application
abilities, Desay SV Automotive is well positioned to provide a
smart cabin with a multi-sensory immersive experience," said
John Wall, Senior Vice President and
Co-Head of BlackBerry Technology Solutions. "Augmented with secure
and reliable BlackBerry QNX technology, together we can address the
diverse needs of an auto industry that is undergoing rapid
transformation. We are pleased that BlackBerry's technology can
provide support to the innovative smart cabin of Chery's Tiggo 8
Plus and Jetour X90 and look forward to providing the automotive
industry with a more integrated and powerful smart cabin, as well
as additional smart drive solutions in the future."

innovation of a new human-machine interaction experience in
the age of intelligence. Through the creation of advanced smart
cabin system solutions, BlackBerry's high-quality, cost-effective
products are enabling a safer driving experience with smart drive
systems," said Li Huang, General
Manager of Technology Center at Desay SV Automotive. "We are

innovation in the automotive industry."
