This is unfortunate, as it does signal less competition which is never good.
QNX is excellent and has been the clear dominant player in the auto world for decades. However I think is unlikely Ford will go with QNX for the major in-vehicle display in a wider capacity, Intel/Apple/Microsoft will throw cash at the pie to make it worth using their suite of technologies. Also don't forget Ford would have already used QNX already, its in embedded system everywhere! QNX just needs a better good IoT pitch yet for it to become better known or popular in the mainstream software world.
