Momenta, XHEART, and the QNX business unit of BlackBerry Limited have jointly announced a strategic partnership aimed at developing a production-ready autonomous driving platform that meets global safety standards. This collaboration comes as regulatory requirements for advanced driver assistance systems become increasingly stringent across major markets worldwide.
The partnership addresses a critical need for deep integration among foundational software, chips, and algorithm layers, which has emerged as a key prerequisite for successful mass production deployment. Within this collaboration, Momenta contributes its full-stack autonomous driving algorithm capabilities, XHEART provides its automotive-grade SoC X7, and QNX supplies its safety-critical operating system based on QNX® SDP 8.0.
The jointly developed production solution is designed to help global automakers accelerate the deployment of intelligent driving technologies while simultaneously meeting functional safety requirements across international markets. The integrated platform has successfully obtained ISO 26262 ASIL D certification from TÜV Rheinland, representing the highest level of functional safety certification available in the industry.
This certification provides automakers with a compliance foundation for developing intelligent driving models targeted at international markets, particularly addressing the admission requirements of regulated markets such as Europe's UN R171 (Driver Control Assistance Systems, DCAS). Momenta's Senior Vice President Sun Huan emphasized that "the global large-scale deployment of physical AI must prioritize safety as its core premise."
Sun further noted that the production solution created in collaboration with XHEART and QNX ranks among the world's leading safety standards, enabling automakers to approach international market expansion with greater confidence. The three-party cooperation leverages each company's technological strengths for product-level integration, with the solution being made available to major global vehicle manufacturers to promote the large-scale adoption of advanced driver assistance functionalities.
