QNX is 'traditional' for In-Vehicle systems. It's often used as a real-time OS in the ECU and other auxiliary systems.

It's understandable that Ford doesn't want to experiment anymore after years of failure with Sync, lots of which were caused by outdated WinCE-based software stack.

QNX is the market leader in the large-touchscreen head units that provide "infotainment" (maps, music, traffic data, etc.) as well as Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) that will eventually evolve into autonomous driving controllers. In other words, QNX is competing head-on with Linux and often winning straight-up battles. Automotive Grade Linux and the Linux-based GENIVI Consortium are also thriving, but the Linux community cannot take a win in automotive for granted by any means.
