BlackBerry Ltd. says some of its software and services have been chosen for use in a Foxconn-backed electric vehicle consortium.
The Waterloo, Ont.-based software company says the Mobility in Harmony consortium will use its QNX and Ivy offerings to build the platform.
QNX is a cloud- and artificial intelligence-based software foundation while Ivy is an in-vehicle software platform helping automakers monetize data.
Software giant Microsoft, Â鶹´«Ã½AV Korean battery maker LG Energy Solution and luxury electric vehicle manufacturer Karma Automotive are among the thousands of consortium members.
The consortium is working on building a single-row, three-seat vehicle geared toward Asian consumers that it calls Project X.Â
The vehicle is due to launch in Japan later this year, and will be followed by six-seat and nine-seat vehicles.
