PATEO CONNECT+, will be powered by BlackBerry QNX technology and put into mass production

BlackBerry Ltd. and PATEO, an Internet of Vehicles (IoV) technology service & product provider in China, announced that PATEO’s intelligent cockpit, PATEO CONNECT+, will be powered by BlackBerry QNX technology and put into mass production in more than ten individual models across five OEMs, including VOYAH, Hozon New Energy (NETA), a private car company in China and two international automakers.

Leveraging the QNX Neutrino Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) and QNX Hypervisor to create an intelligent digital cockpit that reportedly delivers a more personalized and interactive driving experience, the collaboration marks another milestone following the two companies’ agreement earlier this year to launch a pilot integrating BlackBerry IVY within PATEO’s Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) solutions with a Chinese automobile manufacturer’s all-electric model lineup.

We look forward to deepening our work together and building on our initial successes with automakers to usher in the next-generation of intelligent vehicle experiences.”

PATEO’s intelligent digital cockpit uses multimodal technology to support interactions across multiple screens, including the cluster and centre console, while reportedly offering the driver a more natural human-computer interaction (HCI) experience through an AI-based voice activated assistant.
