## Resource

On this special episode of The InEVitable, I ventured out to Ottawa, the capital of Canada and home of the engineering side of QNX, the automotive software supplier and longtime sponsor of MotorTrend’s Software-Defined Vehicle (SDV) Innovator Awards. Recorded inside “The Garage” at QNX, where the company’s engineers build and test all sorts of robotic and automotive software and hardware, I met with QNX President John Wall and Vector President, Dr. Matthias Traub for a conversation about the current state and future of SDVs, including what these two companies are doing to make the transition from traditional electro-mechanical automobiles to the electrified, connected, and possibly autonomous vehicles of the future.
