Blackberry’s real-time operating system QNX is being used in many cars on the road today, but future vehicles will be packing new software designed to keep the vital operations of the car safe and secure. 

Does the self-driving car have a realistic due date? Many automakers and industry analysts are pegging autonomous cars to hit the mass market within a decade, but their predictions are often inconsistent with each other. 

Coverage from the Consumer Electronics Show and Tokyo Auto Salon filled this past week’s automotive news stories.

This is the first year for AutoGuide.com covering the Consumer Electronics Show. This year, as expected, automobiles had a huge presence at the show.

Ford introduced two new apps at CES that work with its new Sync 3 infotainment system.

The Maserati Quattroporte you are looking at is loaded with high-performance gear and none of it has to do with the powertrain.

The folks from QNX demonstrated the power of their software platform at 2014’s Telematics Update Detroit. The Canada-based computer company showed off a reference platform with super-fast booting capabilities.

Pickups, minivans and automotive tech – that’s what captured the attention of automotive enthusiasts this week.

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?
