Certified middleware has streamlined safety-critical ADAS development and supports future projects
I would say for the performance cores, QNX Neutrino offers enhanced security features compared to functional safety and security features when compared to any Linux alternatives. We use our products for ADAS and automated driving, which are ASIL B to ASIL D level safety-critical applications, and QNX Neutrino helps us by providing certified middleware stacks so we don't have to do extensive testing on it, allowing us to focus only on the functions and algorithms. Using any open-source Linux would cause a lot of effort for us to test the overall software, so QNX Neutrino actually helps us reduce our effort and focus our software testing only on the functions and algorithms. It also offers virtual ECU type environments for a lot of testing even before integrating the whole software onto the actual hardware, thus saving us a lot of time later.
