A version of QNX (made by Blackberry) is in my Volkswagen. It’s quick, noninvasive, and still works well despite my removal of the 4G comm box that connected it to the Internet. I’d truly miss QNX if it disappeared.
the UI of that was from an aquisition of The Astonishing Tribe (TAT), a user interface design company based in Malmö, Sweden, was acquired by the company on December 2, 2010.[183][184] With a history of creating user interfaces and applications for mobile, TAT contributed heavily to the user experience of BlackBerry 10 as well as the development of its GUI framework, Cascades.
I miss BB10 (maybe the physical device more than the OS lol) dearly! That’s pretty neat to know both interfaces were derived from the same source, I knew I noticed a lot of similarities!
You know how your infotainment is fast to start up, works well and is only buggy when using CarPlay/AndroidAuto? Well now expect only the CarPlay/AA experience.
QNX is a great OS, and it’s unfortunate that instead of getting better integration, we’re getting whatever Google and Apple shovels at the auto industry.
To be honest, I haven’t had many issues with AA. My wife’s car has AA and it’s been better than the mutant abortion of a manufacturer-designed interface that my older car has.

So much this. I’ve driven a lot of Volkswagen group cars. Their software was great (built on QNX). Now only the real-time canbus part of the car runs on QNX (and is still rock solid) while the entertainment part runs on android and is a train wreck; crashes at least once/day.
No, I don’t want 40" touch screens mounted to the dash of my car nor do I want corpo goons driving my car.
Title gore?
Yeah, I don’t understand what that’s trying to say. BlackBerry got crushed by Apple and Google, that part is true…
But who’s in whose sights? Are Apple and Google in BlackBerry’s sights? Or is BlackBerry back in Apple and Google’s sights to be crushed again.
It’s a horrible title.
Save us, Blackberry! You’re our only hope! (I am serious here)
