Ford is considering abandoning Microsoft for Ford Sync system and would use the BlackBerry QNX system.
of battle is brewing in the technological world is more virulent, undoubtedly, those related to cars and technology that will be implemented in these. The trend is clear: the vehicles will be increasingly connected and every day we hear more strongly the advent of “smart cars”. iOS in the car has been, perhaps, the technology applied to cars in the sense most listened to, although I’m sure that Android is not far behind. So the news that Ford bet on BlackBerry to incorporate technology in their vehicles at the expense of Microsoft is a lot more important than it may seem news.
This was discussed in Bloomberg, which reported that sources claim related to Ford Sync system that his next will come with BlackBerry QNX technology, leaving the system used so far, based on Windows.
The first reason why Ford would be interested in using QNX is primarily economic: license BlackBerry system is much cheaper than the Microsoft System . What’s more, at a time when the importance of communication systems are increasingly important in the vehicles, Ford is aware of the need to improve their Sync system and the abandonment of Microsoft for BlackBerry would be a facelift to the system, incorporating substantial improvements.
QNX BlackBerry software, in fact, is more than consolidated and is currently in BMW, Audi and Volkswagen vehicles. The news is a cold shower for Microsoft and a victory for a battered BlackBerry. Moreover, as mentioned earlier, is a giant step for BlackBerry in an industry that is going to be increasingly competitive with iOS and Android in the Car with agreements with General Motors and Hyundai, among others.
