BlackBerry announced an expanded partnership with Baidu, on automated high-definition mapping software that is used in Baidu's autonomous vehicle technology.
The deal broadens Baidu’s use of BlackBerry’s operating system in its "Apollo" autonomous driving open platform. Under the expanded deal, Baidu’s high-definition map will be integrated with BlackBerry’s QNX Neutrino real-time operating system. The integrated system will be available on Guangzhou Automobile Group electric vehicle arm’s upcoming GAC New Energy Aion models.
