BlackBerry (BB) announced that the Mobility in Harmony, or MIH, Consortium, a Hon Hai Precision-initiated group (HNHPF), that seeks to create an open ecosystem to transform and accelerate innovation within the electric vehicle industry, has selected BlackBerry to provide the foundation for its next-generation platform. MIH will use a range of BlackBerry software and services to serve as the safe and secure software foundation for the consortium’s open and agnostic electric vehicle platform with a unique modular design approach. Project X, one of the MIH EV projects, will be a single-row three-seater geared towards Asian consumers, and is set to be unveiled in Japan in late 2023. MIH will also release six-seater and nine-seater vehicle platforms in the coming years to provide more vehicle segment choices. As part of the agreement, MIH will utilize the company’s trusted, safety-certified BlackBerry QNX product portfolio and cloud-connected, automotive AI platform, BlackBerry IVY, including QNX Software Development Platform licenses, QNX middleware technologies, as well as engineering professional services for system-level integration, performance optimization, and solution validation.
