A while back, Ford used QNX for their infotainment. Not sure if they still do.

I interviewed at Panasonic years ago due to their in car info systems using QNX.

Also, Coca-Cola’s kiosks for drink selection uses QNX.

In both cases, they’re using Qt instead of Photon.

Photon was just about perfect as a GUI architecture IMHO, although I don’t know if it could have handled an alpha compositing as well as it handled blit stuff across a network connection.

Other automotive OEMs are using it also for other use cases, such as compute nodes doing plenty of crunching mixed with real-time control.
