At CES 2020, BlackBerry announced that it has partnered with AWS to demonstrate a secure and intelligent connected vehicle software platform for embedded applications. The platform combines the security of the BlackBerry QNX real-time operating system with AWS IoT cloud and in-car services. The AWS-powered BlackBerry platform will enable automakers to securely access vehicle sensor data and build software applications as well as machine learning models for connected, electric and autonomous vehicles. Auto parts manufacturers can leverage the platform to accelerate their vision to bring innovative connected vehicle services to market quickly and continuously. These include cabin personalization, vehicle acoustic conditioning, vehicle health monitoring, and Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) functionality. Automakers can also use the platform to enable essential features such as monitoring and forecasting continuous EV battery life, managing vehicle subsystems to control warranty costs, upgrading security, upgrading software functionality, and monetizing. vehicle data while exercising control over access to the data.
BlackBerry and AWS
The new platform combines BlackBerry and AWS Edge and Cloud technologies into a complete edge-to-cloud offering for the global automotive industry. Using BlackBerry QNX software, automakers can build and run a common software platform on embedded systems, while AWS capabilities allow automotive software developers to securely and easily access vehicle sensor data, believes software applications and machine learning models using vehicle data and deploy them within the vehicle to enable in-vehicle actions and inference. In addition, the platform will integrate BlackBerry QNX operating system and live software update services with AWS IoT cloud services for secure connectivity and telematics, Amazon SageMaker for template model development. machine learning and advanced AWS IoT services for in-vehicle machine learning inference. Explaining why the company decided to partner with AWS for its new platform, John Wall, Senior Vice President and Co-Head of BlackBerry Technology Solutions, said: “By working with AWS, we are able to provide OEMs with a single core software platform that will allow them to build the next generation of connected and autonomous cars of the future. By combining our technologies and strengths into a dedicated cloud offering, we can ensure automakers have the tools they need to deliver the driving experience consumers want, without sacrificing the safety and reliability they need.
