Luxoft Holding Inc NYSELXFT, a software development services and innovative IT solutions provider, and Blackberry's subsidiary, QNX Software Systems Limited, announced the new technology collaboration. The partnership involves focusing on ADAS systems used by automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and Tier 1 suppliers.

"As part of the initiative, Luxoft will leverage its expertise in road-model-based computer vision algorithms for tracking of objects such as vehicles, pedestrians, building facades and road signs to bring a robust road scene reconstruction engine to the QNX OS platform," the companies commented in a joint press release.
