BlackBerry chief executive John Chen said in a joint release, "BlackBerry and AWS share a common vision to provide automakers and developers with better insights so that they can deliver new services to consumers." IVY is intended to be a cloud-connected software platform which will be used by any car maker to analyze sensor data in real-time and give drivers useful information. Modern cars and trucks are built with thousands of parts from an array of suppliers. The vision is for the platform to quickly make sense of all that data for drivers, while also serving as a platform for additional apps or services from developers. The jointly operated software will run on car or truck systems but will be managed remotely from the cloud, according to Amazon.

Drivers of EVs battery information with charging networks to reserve charging slots along routes, and parents could get sensor data regarding their teen-agers' driving, the companies said. BlackBerry has shifted gears to concentrate on software and services since being dethroned in the mobile phone market. The BlackBerry keyboard is to live on in a new 5G smartphone planned for release next year from Texas-based OnwardMobility.
