Yay for misleading headlines!

"Apple CarPlay Infotainment System Runs on BlackBerry’s QNX"

Sort of, indeed. Here's what QNX actually said:

Quote:
We have a long-standing partnership with Apple to ensure high-quality connectivity with their devices, and this partnership extends to support for Apple CarPlay.
So, the more likely scenario is that there is in fact a CarPlay-QNX connector (possibly written by Apple, QNX, or both), which also probably answers Kickaha's question. The "real" CarPlay software, of course, runs on your iOS device; the UI you interact with does not. However, that doesn't have to mean that QNX is the OS CarPlay offers a client for.
