Chinese automotive electronics specialist Desay and Canadian firm Blackberry have launched a dual-screen virtual smart cabin domain controller to support safer driving. The new technology is available on the Chery Tiggo 8 Plus and Jetour X90 models.

The smart cabin domain controller is built on the Blackberry QNX Hypervisor and the QNX Real-time Operating System. With the QNX Hypervisor, developers can partition and isolate safety-critical and infotainment systems, ensuring the continued function of critical systems even if other components fail.

“Thanks to its advanced technology and rapid application abilities, Desay SV Automotive is well positioned to provide a smart cabin with a multi-sensory immersive experience,” said John Wall, Senior Vice President and Co-Head of BlackBerry Technology Solutions. “Augmented with secure and reliable BlackBerry QNX technology, together we can address the diverse needs of an auto industry that is undergoing rapid transformation. We are pleased that BlackBerry’s technology can provide support to the innovative smart cabin of Chery’s Tiggo 8 Plus and Jetour X90 and look forward to providing the automotive industry with a more integrated and powerful smart cabin, as well as additional smart drive solutions in the future.”

“Desay SV Automotive is committed to the integration and innovation of a new human-machine interaction experience in the age of intelligence. Through the creation of advanced smart cabin system solutions, BlackBerry’s high-quality, cost-effective products are enabling a safer driving experience with smart drive systems,” said Li Huang, General Manager of Technology Center at Desay SV Automotive. “We are excited to deepen our cooperation with BlackBerry to jointly drive innovation in the automotive industry.”
