Blackberry is back from the dead
 

Deal confirms ex-mobile maker has a new life

BlackBerry and Chinese internet search out Baidu signed a deal to jointly develop self-driving vehicle technology, sending BlackBerry’s shares up 13 percent to a four-year high as shareholders realised that the company really does now have a life after it abandoned smartphones.

The deal follows similar agreements with firms including Qualcomm, Denso and Aptiv to develop autonomous-driving technology with BlackBerry’s QNX software, which are expected to start generating revenue in 2019.
