BB will be a dominant force in automotiveIMO, BlackBerry is developing an automotive offering unmatched in depth or scale. The strategic partnership with AWS to develop BlackBerry IVY, as well as the BlackBerry IVY Innovation Fund, will bring application developers onboard, which will make BlackBerry extremely attractive to OEMs. If they do not get on board the BB IVY train, they will find it very difficult to compete with the BB ecosystem because they will fall behind in innovation. Also, just as Android smartphone brands licensed the Android OS rather than developing their own, OEMs will increasingly use QNX as they use BB IVY since QNX offers ready-to-use solutions based on the safest and most secure RTOS available. Eventually, QNX will become the undisputed lead automotive OS, and companies like VolksWagen will give up their in-house solutions.
