← Back to context Comment by wmf 2 months ago QNX is running on bare metal in a lot of cars. 7 comments wmf Reply cbsks 2 months ago It’s also running virtualized in a lot of cars!

Chinese car companies I’ve worked with all use Linux instead of QNX, so perhaps that is the future. m132 2 months ago Out of curiosity, do you mean Linux on bare metal, or Linux on top of QVM?The latter is actually a common setup, used by Mercedes-Benz and Hangsheng if I'm not mistaken. cbsks 2 months ago Linux on top of a hypervisor.
