Unveiled AI and QNX Technology Integration Solution at CES 2020
Strengths include reduced development time, lower phased migration costs, and enhanced security.

An AI-based vehicle solution that will contribute to the realization of next-generation connected cars was unveiled at CES 2020.
BlackBerry showcased customized solutions to assist with vehicle inspection and security at CES 2020, which is being held in Las Vegas, USA, from January 7 to 10.

OEMs and vehicle designers have been able to leverage this to shorten development time and reduce transition costs across the stages from research to production and mass production.

The transportation industry is recently building machine learning software in collaboration with BlackBerry's cybersecurity and embedded systems teams to enhance vehicle safety and security.

BlackBerry's solution is the first product to combine BlackBerry Cylance's artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies with the QNX solution. Currently, more than 150 million vehicles worldwide are equipped with BlackBerry QNX solutions.

Automotive manufacturers and vehicle designers can use BlackBerry’s modular system to activate only necessary functions or utilize their own data or pre-built AI and machine learning models to gain a comprehensive understanding of vehicle status from a single console and vehicle operations center.

In addition, cybersecurity threats can be proactively prevented by utilizing software patch automation and continuous driver authentication, as well as endpoint protection and Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) technology.
In particular, it is designed based on BlackBerry QNX Hyperviso, which is ISO 26262 safety certified, providing a reliable solution for applications where ensuring safety is essential.

Security has been enhanced by using CylancePROTECT, a threat detection technology capable of predicting, preventing, detecting, and treating malicious threats and malware that may be exposed to vehicle infotainment systems, and by integrating CylanceOPTICS's contextual analysis engine, it is equipped with the ability to detect in advance abnormal signs in vehicles and vehicle software that could lead to accidents.

By integrating the BlackBerry Jarvis cloud-based static binary code scanning solution, software vulnerabilities can be identified, and safe applications free from malware risks in vehicles can be utilized with BlackBerry UEM.Only Sean distributes.

Furthermore, using CylancePERSONA behavioral monitoring technology, it determines whether the vehicle driver's identity matches the driver profile registered in the system and provides comprehensive measures through a customized Vehicle Operation Center.

BlackBerry maintains and manages software by providing the BlackBerry OTA Software Update Management Service, which includes OTA update services verified for safety and reliability, thereby proactively preventing issues that could affect a vehicle's lifespan. Through this service, vehicle manufacturers can simultaneously deploy new features to millions of end users.

"The solution unveiled is a significant milestone demonstrating our efforts to integrate BlackBerry Cylance's innovative security products with industry-leading technology," said Charles Eagan, CTO of BlackBerry. "New cars typically carry over 100 million lines of code and complex software built by automakers, so comprehensively understanding the overall codebase and security status throughout the vehicle's entire lifecycle is of the utmost importance."

"He added, 'As a company with leading technological capabilities in the security field, BlackBerry has provided the transportation-centric framework necessary to enhance the security, reliability, and safety of connected cars,' and 'by leveraging our accumulated technologies, we have been able to build an environment where drivers, passengers, and pedestrians can all feel safe.'"
