GILLINGHAM, England and
WATERLOO, Ontario, Sept. 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Delphi
Automotive PLC (NYSE: DLPH), a global leader in autonomous driving
technology, announced today it has signed a commercial partnership
agreement with BlackBerry Limited (NASDAQ: BBRY; TSX: BB) to
provide the operating system for its autonomous driving system.
Delphi and BlackBerry QNX will collaborate to bolster software
performance and safety in their operating system to advance
autonomous driving technology.
Delphi's fully integrated automated driving solution,
Centralized Sensing Localization and Planning (CSLP), to launch in
2019, provides car manufacturers and Automated Mobility on Demand
(AMoD) a best in class turnkey automated driving solution. The
BlackBerry QNX OS for Safety will facilitate Delphi's proprietary
Ottomatika software algorithms and middleware, to enhance
performance and safety.
"BlackBerry QNX will provide a robust software infrastructure
for CSLP and help advance Delphi's autonomous driving system," said
Glen De Vos, Delphi senior vice
president and chief technology officer. "Safety in high
performance computing systems is paramount to a production ready
autonomous driving solution."
"There is no safety without security," said John Wall, SVP and GM of BlackBerry QNX. "With
cyberattacks and threats to connected vehicles on the rise, it is
imperative that auto manufacturers are provided with software that
is safety certified, reliable and secure. This is an area in which
BlackBerry QNX excels, and we look forward to the new opportunities
this expansion with Delphi will bring."
QNX SDP 7.0 provides high
performance and enhanced kernel-level security through an array of
features, including microkernel architecture, file encryption,
adaptive time partitioning, a high availability framework, anomaly
detection, and multi-level policy-based access control. BlackBerry
QNX's reliable OS helps guard against system malfunctions, malware,
and cyber attacks by implementing a multi-level, policy-driven
security model that incorporates best-in-class security technology
from BlackBerry. The OS also offers a safety pedigree proven by
certification to ISO 26262 ASIL D (the highest level achievable)
for automobiles and to IEC 61508 SIL 3 for industrial automation
systems, and by compliance with IEC 62304 for life-critical Class
