QNX is popular in industrial computers and used in many car
computers
People may encounter QNX-controlled systems whenever they
drive, shop, use the Internet, or even turn on a light
Apple's CarPlay has to ride on top of BlackBerry's QNX platform
for in-auto entertainment system
QNX
QNX is a commercial Unix-like real-time operating system
A microkernel-based OS
The advantage to a microkernel is that any failed service can be easily
restarted, for instance, there is no kernel halt if the root file system throws
an abort.
Take advantage of built-in multiprocessing capabilities harness the power of
multi-core processors
Extensive support for the POSIX standard, which allows quick migration from
Linux, Unix, and other open source programs.
All Standard C library entities are declared or defined in one or more
standard headers
