Global automotive software company, Renovo, and BlackBerry QNX, a business unit of BlackBerry Limited have announced the companies will cooperate to jointly develop and market safety-critical data management solutions for use in the next generation of connected and autonomous vehicles.
As part of the partnership, BlackBerry's QNX ISO 26262 safety-certified real time operating system (RTOS) will integrate with Insight, Renovo's award-winning, intelligent automotive data platform that accelerates development cycles, improves product performance and reduces operational costs for R&D and production fleets.

The BlackBerry QNX-Renovo partnership will deliver an innovative ADAS & AV development platform, combining over 45 years of experience and deep knowledge of embedded systems, highly scalable software platforms and mission-critical safety systems. The companies will reveal some of the new features created through their partnership at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2020.
"QNX RTOS is a world-class real-time OS providing global OEMs with the highest levels of safety and reliability. We're immensely proud to announce our partnership with BlackBerry," said Chris Heiser, Co-Founder and CEO of Renovo. "As leaders in our respective fields, we are excited to join forces to accelerate ADAS and autonomous driving from the lab to the open road."
BlackBerry QNX technology is embedded in 150 million cars on the road today, including many of Renovo's own autonomous test fleet. The integration with Renovo's platform is a critical component in creating safe, reliable in-vehicle systems with a clear safety certification path. The integration also brings the BlackBerry QNX RTOS to the Renovo platform outside the vehicle, in edge computing, equally vital to development and certification efforts. As automakers continue to chase the $70 billion market for ADAS features, this partnership represents a significant step forward for the integration of these features at a larger scale than ever before. By working together, Renovo and BlackBerry QNX hope to speed the development and implementation of these features at scale across the globe.
