The title is hardly factual. It was a theory by the author that shows his misunderstanding of CarPlay, the update does not confirm his theory either. The in car entertainment system might run QNX, CarPlay is a protocol. It's not like Apple is designing the head unit.

"The in car entertainment system might run QNX, CarPlay is a protocol." vs "Apple CarPlay Infotainment System Runs on BlackBerry’s QNX" Did you know iTunes runs on Windows? Well, Apple's CarPlay runs on QNX. The title is factually correct.

  The title's implication is clearly that Apple is using BlackBerry tech for CarPlay, a very link-baity title. The reality is that QNX is able to implement CarPlay. A better title might be "Apple's CarPlay compatible with BlackBerry's QNX".

    I find substituting "compatible with" for "runs on" to actually be less informative and confusing. The title is fine as it properly informs someone what platform a piece of software runs on.

      And I think that's where the confusion is. CarPlay doesn't "run on" QNX in the sense that QNX is the platform Apple chose to implement CarPlay. It's accurate to say iCloud "runs on" Azure, as the iCloud platform, at least partially, runs on Microsoft's Azure services. The QNX OS implements the car portion of the CarPlay protocol. Other OSes can also implement the car portion. CarPlay is a protocol, not software that runs on anything.

        "CarPlay is a protocol, not software that runs on anything" Ok, look, CarPlay isn't mystical, its implemented in software than runs on QNX. It might run on other things, the title doesn't say "exclusively", it doesn't say "only". Protocols are implemented in software. Software runs on OSes. The normal person has no confusion over what the title means. I swear I'm being trolled on this one.

        I'm wondering the same thing... The author of the article clearly is confused over what's going on.

        It's not the article I'm having problems with.

  iTunes for windows was very big news when it was announced.

    I was going for the use of "run" in a non-exclusive manner on another platform.
