BlackBerry announced on the 8th that its QNX software is installed in more than 150 million vehicles worldwide. This is an increase of 30 million units from the 2018 announcement.
QNX technology is used in ADAS, digital instrument clusters, connectivity modules, hands-free systems, and infotainment systems by automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers, including Audi, BMW, Ford, GM, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Maserati, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Toyota, and Volkswagen.
BlackBerry has achieved ISO 26262 ASIL D, the highest level of automotive safety certification for functional safety, and has experience providing mission-critical embedded systems in automotive and other industries.
This study, conducted in partnership with Strategy Analytics, measures QNX adoption based on the number of QNX products distributed in the automotive market and the number of vehicles equipped with QNX products and technology.
The majority of QNX software products integrated and used in automotive ECUs are licensed on a per-unit royalty basis.
BlackBerry QNX technologies include QNX Neutrino OS, QNX Platform for ADAS, QNX OS for Safety, QNX CAR Platform for Infotainment, and QNX Digital Cockpit Platform.It consists of ‘NX Platform for Digital Cockpits’, ‘QNX Hypervisor 2.0’, and ‘QNX acoustics middleware’.
“The world’s leading automakers, Tier 1 suppliers, and semiconductor manufacturers consistently rely on BlackBerry’s safety-certified and highly secure software to power their next-generation vehicles,” said John Chen, Chairman and CEO of BlackBerry. “We look forward to working with our customers to build a safe and reliable future for mobility.”

TI Launches Automotive System-Based Chip with Integrated CAN FD Controller and Transceiver
Texas Instruments announced the launch of an automotive system-based chip product that integrates a CAN FD controller and transceiver. The TCAN4550-Q1 is designed to meet requirements for high bandwidth and flexible data transmission rates in in-vehicle networks, enabling engineers to implement CAN FD interfaces or expand the number of bus ports with minimal hardware modifications across any microcontroller's SPI bus interface. With the newly released TCAN4550-Q1 SBC, engineers can easily upgrade or expand body control and lighting, ADAS, and automotive gateway designs to CAN FD while maintaining their existing microcontroller-based architecture.

[e4ds Tech Day 2026 ⑨] Sim Sang-gyu, Autocrypt CTO: "In the Physical AI Era, Automotive Security Must Extend Beyond the Vehicle"
At e4ds Tech Day 2026, Sim Sang-gyu, CTO of Autocrypt, explained automotive cybersecurity strategies in the era of Physical AI and SDV (Software-Defined Vehicle). Automobiles are evolving as part of an ecosystem connected to AI, cloud, chargers, IoT, and robots, and he emphasized that the scope of security must expand beyond the vehicle interior to the entire connected environment. In particular, AI model tampering, adversarial attacks, OTA updates, and EV charger hacking were identified as major threats. He explained that response measures require zero trust, AI model integrity protection, intrusion detection, Security by Design and Default, and full lifecycle security management, and that proactive security system establishment beyond regulatory compliance is critical for securing future mobility competitiveness.

Practical HIL Construction Strategy for Automotive and Off-Highway Controller Validation
As vehicle E/E architecture transitions to zonal structures and shifts to software-defined vehicles (SDV), the number of controllers (ECUs) requiring validation and software complexity are surging dramatically. Meanwhile, real vehicle testing cannot provide repeated verification under identical conditions and entails lead time and safety concerns. This white paper explains the principles of HIL (Hardware-in-the-Loop) validation and the structure of the NI platform composed of PXI, SLSC, and VeriStand, and through two actual implementation cases—Camera Record & Replay HIL for In-Cabin Monitoring Controller (ICMU) and Forklift Controller (VCU) HILS—describes how controller-level regression testing becomes possible. Additionally, it explicitly states application boundaries and limitations, such as lack of A2B support.
