“Project Titan”: dozens of former BlackBerry engineers are developing an automotive operating system for Apple in Canada

Rumors about a mystic Apple car accelerate and gear-up for some time now, with the latest news speculating that Ma would have given up its own intentions to build a vehicle itself and would instead be focusing on creating a specialized system for motor cars. conducted.

Today’s report from Bloomberg corroborates this information by reporting that approximately 20 engineers are said to be working on an automotive operating system for Apple in Kanata, a suburb of Ottawa, Canada. These are all former employees of BlackBerry or, more specifically, of QNX, a company that developed the systems that equip several cars on the market and which was purchased by the (ex?) Smartphone manufacturer in 2010.

According to the matter, this system would be the ?software core? of a future automotive platform, think of a ?carOS? that would join iOS, macOS and the beautiful company. The system would be a kind of Hub where all the other resources designed by Ma would work, such as the self-driving software, which is being developed by a totally different team.

If you put the memory to work, it is easy to understand why this development is happening in Canada: just remember Dan Dodge’s hiring and founder and former CEO of Canadian QNX by Apple, to be part of the ?Project Titan?. Apparently, he pulled some of his best employees with him and stuck his foot in the country instead of moving to Cupertino.

It remains to be seen, now, what will emerge from this convergence of privileged minds to create such a complex and expected system. Apparently, we still have to wait a few good years before hearing anything official about it.
