in-auto entertainment system

13. QNX
 QNX is a commercial Unix-like real-time operating system
 A microkernel-based OS
 The advantage to a microkernel is that any failed service can be easily
restarted, for instance, there is no kernel halt if the root file system throws
an abort.
 Take advantage of built-in multiprocessing capabilities harness the power of
multi-core processors
 Extensive support for the POSIX standard, which allows quick migration
from Linux, Unix, and other open source programs.
