Apple may be using former Blackberry engineers in Canada to develop its self-driving car software

Apple is said to have taken the unusual step of working on its car software far away from its California HQ. The tech firm has hired dozens of software engineers from Blackberry-owned QNX and is developing its car OS at a base in Canada, reports Bloomberg. QNX, which was bought out by Blackberry in 2010, is known for producing car software. Earlier this year, a concept video revealed ideas for a futuristic-looking Apple car, with a wide dashboard display and smart capabilities. Apple's new car OS lab is based in the Ottawa suburb of Kanata according to unnamed sources who did not want to be identified talking about the secret project, reports Bloomberg.
