QNX technology is used in more vehicle models (200+) and by more automakers and suppliers than all other platforms combined. Our software is the most cost effective on which to develop, deploy and integrate. And our field-proven, upgradeable platform, QNX CAR, is available today.

Automotive leadership

Why is QNX software used in over 200 models and over seven million vehicles? Simply put, ours is the lowest-risk proposition.

QNX Software Systems has a 30-year track record of providing technology that customers want, with the reliability they expect. We have unparalleled expertise in bringing prototypes to production, and in helping customers with critical issues during development, integration, and post-release.

And we continue to innovate – not only with new technologies, but with business models and commercial terms designed to address automotive-specific concerns. The end result? We make it easy to do business with us.

Lowest cost to develop, deploy, and service

Against traditional royalty-based products, our prices are not only competitive they are often the lowest.

Let’s face it: quality software development doesn’t just spontaneously occur. Orthogonal design, consistent engineering, and quality processes require lots of hard work, and engineers must be paid. QNX Software System’s royalty-based software model means that instead of attempting to front-load all revenue in the project startup phase, masquerading everything else as NRE or support, we share the risk with our customers.

Unfortunately, not every product is destined to make it to the market. If your product doesn’t become reality, you don’t pay QNX for it. This applies especially to QNX CAR, which provides a rock-bottom engagement model for prototyping and proof-of-concept.

Lower pricing isn’t the only way we help lower your costs.

Our pre-integrated reference platforms save you engineering time and money, getting you to market faster. Our standards-based software and tools let you leverage existing training, products, and software ports. We provide specialized technologies to directly reduce the hardware BOM, like instant device activation, fast-boot and the QNX Aviage Acoustic Processing. Suite. We also have inherent technology advantages resulting in smaller RAM and flash footprints. Technologies like the QNX Aviage HMI Suite and adaptive partitioning get you through the integration and HMI design phases easier and with more confidence, bringing your product to market quicker and more reliably.

Secure, scalable application platform

Building on our field-proven automotive technologies, QNX provides a future-ready upgradable platform through QNX CAR. Our automotive portfolio is comprehensive across applications, middleware, RTOS, services, and tools, expanded even further by our broad partner ecosystem. The QNX Neutrino RTOS microkernel is well known for its component isolation and protection, providing safe and reliable execution to the vehicle exactly like it does in other safety-critical markets.
