The Future of Car Infotainment: QNX Car Platform

Try almost any modern infotainment system. Most feel like they're a decade behind today's gadgets in terms of touch-screen responsiveness and resolution. So why don't cars offer us technology on par with smartphones and tablets?

A company called QNX is hard at work answering that question and they invited us to their headquarters in Ontario, Canada for a preview of what's to come.

Okay blackberry putting in work. What an amazing system it looks so clean!

[anothersiguy]

Wow RIM is still kicking, maybe this tech will make them relevant again, it looks promising.

[sammysays]

Finally, someone fixed the laggyness of info systems!

A touch screen in your car is a nice idea; however, it requires the driver to take his/ her eyes off the road for too long to search for an application. A car can travel a long way in traffic while the driver is distracted.

i think QNX is the Back bone of the Apple Carplay

Wow finally something that is actually responsive.

I HATE infotainment screens, but this is pretty cool. Hope it won't slow down or break when its on the second hand market 10-20 years from now

Wow if any car needs a bigger screen for what it is, it's the Mercedes CLA but I would buy one in a second with that screen fitted!

[franck]

We are we going with this technology... wow

[RealtimeReviews]

Looks great! Ottawa is an amazing city! Hope to see this tech soon in lower end cars not just high end cars

You know this will usually be release on luxury cars first, not speaking on car play.

See Mercedes? That is what you should've used for a screen, instead of your tacked on faux ipad.

This compAny is probably what's keeping BlackBerry afloat.

[salmaniftikhar]

That's great, is this screen available for bmw e60 m5

[Gitohandro]

Um how will they get paid? Will they be doing this for various car brands or just one car brand locked in an exclusive contract with them?

Am I the only one that's super annoyed that that bigass screen took away the air vents that are supposed to be there? That's not cool.

[armourdaddy]

boy it looks fun but RPM guage is all that is needed in a car.gizmo techs are best left for mobiles.

[lazarusjoyner]

BMW I Drive does like 80% of what that does and it's easy to use.
