BlackBerry Inc. has signed a new deal with Ford Motor Co. to create software that will help drive future vehicles from the American automotive giant.
In an announcement after the markets closed Monday, BlackBerry revealed the deal from its QNX campus in Ottawa. However, John Wall, senior vice-president and head of QNX, said details, including the financial implications for BlackBerry, are confidential and refused to disclose any specifics.
“Ford is an industry leader and the opportunity to contribute our world-class technology to their products is a privilege,” he said. “Ford’s expanded application of our software and services illustrates the diverse and broad value we can bring to market.”
QNX, the Ottawa software maker that is wholly owned by BlackBerry Ltd., has been working with Ford since 2014 after the automotive giant decided to part ways with Microsoft Corp. Microsoft had been providing Ford with software for its Sync in-car entertainment system.
QNX announced another collaboration with Ford in January, which would see its software in more of the computer networks of Ford cars.
While he wouldn’t reveal the specifics of the deal, Wall said the agreement will see QNX sell its software directly to Ford, which Wall said is the first such agreement QNX has struck with an automaker.
QNX software is already installed in more than 60 million vehicles around the world. In a vast majority of those cases, the Ottawa-based subsidiary sells its software to a third-party parts maker, which installs the QNX software onto a part that is then shipped to the manufacturer.
