HaleyTek AB and BlackBerry Limited (NYSE:BB)(TSX:BB), today announced the launch of HaleyTek's Generic Automotive Platform (GAP), a state-of-the-art cockpit software platform. GAP provides access to a seamless, agile Android Automotive development environment, accelerating the time-to-market for feature-rich, next-generation infotainment systems.

BlackBerry QNX is providing the QNX® Hypervisor for Safety and QNX® Sound platform for GAP, which will offer OEMs access to two long-awaited enabling technologies for next generation automotive cockpits; Software Defined Audio (SDA) and VirtIO. SDA delivers superior software-based acoustic and audio experiences for consumers, while enabling significant Bill-of-Material (BOM) savings and the ability to generate new subscription revenue through personalized audio software features after the sale of the vehicle. It will also extend the lifecycle of these systems, offering over-the-air (OTA) Android™ and security updates to enable a safe, connected future.
