BlackBerry Ltd. laid out its plans Wednesday for building autonomous car software, jumping into a race with the likes of Apple Inc., Google and Tesla Motors Inc. to capture a piece of the ballooning industry.
The company’s QNX software division showed off demo cars that can scan for obstacles, keep from straying from a highway lane and communicate wirelessly with nearby vehicles to avoid accidents, using tools developed by other software and hardware companies on the QNX operating system.
