BlackBerry has announced that it will show off a new BlackBerry QNX technology concept car at CES 2016 next month.
The company will reveal its new BlackBerry QNX concept car in Las Vegas on the 6th of January. The company has released a new video of this year’s car, which was based on a Maserati.
Innovative Features of the BlackBerry QNX Concept Car
The BlackBerry QNX concept car is designed to explore and address several critical questions about the future of automotive technology. The minute you get behind the wheel, you realize that our concept team is exploring answers to a multitude of questions. For instance, how do you bring more content into a car, without distracting the driver? How do you take types of information previously distributed across two or more screens and integrate them on a single display? How do you combine information about local speed limits with speedometer readouts to promote better driving? How do you make familiar activities, such as using the car radio, simpler and more intuitive? And how much should a car’s UX rely on the touch gestures that have become commonplace on smartphones and tablets?
The concept car aims to integrate advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and infotainment systems seamlessly. By leveraging the power of the QNX platform, BlackBerry is looking to create a safer and more enjoyable driving experience. The car’s interface is designed to be intuitive, reducing the learning curve for new users and making it easier for drivers to focus on the road.
Technological Advancements and Safety Features
One of the standout features of the BlackBerry QNX concept car is its ability to integrate multiple types of information into a single, cohesive display. This includes everything from navigation and speed limits to real-time traffic updates and vehicle diagnostics. By consolidating this information, the car aims to reduce the cognitive load on the driver, making it easier to stay informed without becoming overwhelmed.
Another significant aspect of the QNX concept car is its focus on safety. The car is equipped with advanced sensors and cameras that provide a 360-degree view of the surroundings. This not only helps in parking and maneuvering but also in detecting potential hazards on the road. The integration of local speed limits with speedometer readouts is another innovative feature designed to promote safer driving habits.
The concept car also explores the use of touch gestures, similar to those used on smartphones and tablets, to control various functions. This makes the interface more familiar and easier to use for most people. For example, adjusting the car radio or changing the climate control settings can be done with simple swipes and taps, reducing the need for physical buttons and knobs.
We will have more details on exactly what BlackBerry QNX has to unveil at CES 2016 next month. The anticipation is high as the company continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in automotive technology. You can find out more information over at BlackBerry at the link below.
