Delphi Automotive plc has signed a commercial partnership agreement with Waterloo, Ont.-based BlackBerry Ltd. for autonomous vehicle technology.
Blackberry will provide its QNX SDP 7.0 operating system for Delphi’s integrated CSLP (Centralized Sensing Localization and Planning) autonomous driving platform and Ottomatika software algorithms and middleware. The QNX OS will enhance performance, safety and security, according to the partners.
Blackberry says the operating system provides security through a “microkernel” architecture, file encryption, adaptive-time partitioning, anomaly detection and multi-level policy-based access control. The platform, which is based on the company’s industrial automation and medical device technology, is designed to protect against system malfunctions, malware and cyberattacks.
Delphi aims to launch CSLP, which features Mobileye’s EyeQ chip for sensing and mapping, in pilot programs by the end of the decade. Initial applications will focus on specialized systems such as automated taxis, fleet vehicles and mass transit.
Delphi also is working with BMW, Continental, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and Intel to jointly develop autonomous vehicle technologies. Delphi will help integrate related components, subsystems and software.
