BlackBerry to open autonomous vehicle hub

OTTAWA (Reuters) – Canada’s BlackBerry Ltd will open an autonomous driving research center on Monday, as it tries to make itself an indispensable under-the-hood piece of the automotive industry’s weaponry in the self-driving vehicle arms race.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will attend the launch by the Waterloo, Ontario-based smartphone pioneer, the prime minister’s office said on Sunday. A Blackberry spokeswoman deferred any comment on the project until Monday.
