How Blackberry Software is Powering Autonomous Vehicle Technology
One of the key themes at this year's CES is connected car technology. Cheddar CEO Jon Steinberg speaks with Blackberry Chief Marketing Officer Mark Wilson about how its technology is powering autonomous vehicle technology.
"We offer the highest level of security within the auto industry," said Wilson. "Security is in our DNA. It is how the company was formed."
Steinberg and Wilson go inside an Aston Martin vehicle powered by Blackberry's QNX software technology at CES. Wilson explains this infotainment system is integrated with Google apps.
Earlier this month, the completely solar-powered car completed a journey across Morocco. The car was designed by students at the University of Technology in the Netherlands and the vehicle traveled over 600 miles just on solar power. It was dubbed a world first for an off-road solar-powered vehicle.
The Commerce Department on Tuesday updated and broadened its export controls to stop China from acquiring advanced computer chips and the equipment to manufacture them.
