TTTech Auto and BlackBerry QNX team up on performance and safety

Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving systems impose increased functional safety and performance requirements. High performant Systems-on-a-Chip (SoCs) are required to interconnect with a reliable high-speed communication backbone as a means of fulfilling computing performance requirements. Likewise, software functions are required to cooperate within and across all interconnected SoCs in a reliable and safe way.

BlackBerry’s QNX® Neutrino® Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) provides a foundational software component that runs on individual SoCs. TTTech Auto’s safe vehicle software platform MotionWise, in turn, orchestrates software functions across several SoCs – seamlessly, safely, and reliably. The tight integration of these two technologies, which have individually been tried and tested in the production of millions of vehicles around the globe, will ensure the orchestration of workloads across the vehicle level. In turn, this will enable the well-defined system safety and performance properties.
