Mitsubishi Electric picks BlackBerry to power new in-vehicle system

Tokyo, Sept. 26, (dpa/GNA) – Mitsubishi Electric and BlackBerry announced that Mitsubishi Electric’s new automotive in-cabin system, Mitsubishi Electric FLEXConnect, will be powered by BlackBerry IVY, an edge-to-cloud vehicle data platform.

The companies said the collaboration will help advance road safety, in their Tuesday statement.

BlackBerry IVY allows the FLEXConnect platform to extract and analyze data from internal and external sensors and uses machine learning to process all data collected at the vehicle edge compute node.
