Qualcomm’s CES presentation touched on the progress made on its automotive portfolio.
Qualcomm and Google have announced an extension to their longstanding collaboration. The partnership combines Snapdragon Digital Chassis solutions with Google automotive software, helping carmakers to bring new AI-powered features to market more rapidly. This will democratize the deployment of intelligent in-vehicle experiences via voice, touch, and visuals.
Snapdragon Cockpit Elite and Snapdragon Ride Elite–Qualcomm’s flagship central compute solutions–are well into their strong global adoption. These platforms provide high-performance compute and AI acceleration for cockpit and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). New and expanded collaborations were announced with several automakers, including:
Leapmotor introduced a central computer built on dual Snapdragon Elite platforms, a world-first. Furthermore, Garmin has selected the Snapdragon Elite platform to power its Nexus high-performance computing platform.
Snapdragon Ride Flex SoC, the first commercialized solution to unify digital cockpit and ADAS workloads on a single chip, is accelerating the central compute revolution. The platform is already in mass production in vehicles on eight global programs. Chinese Tier-1 suppliers such as Autolink, Desay SV, Hangsheng, and ZYT also announced mass-production plans for solutions based on Ride Flex.
Through 20 design wins for the Snapdragon Ride Platform, Qualcomm works with top AD stack providers such as DeepRoute.ai, Momenta, and WeRide to establish a wide ecosystem. This open, scalable architecture of the platform allows partners to integrate advanced AD systems. Nearly 1 million Snapdragon Ride SoCs have been shipped.
Snapdragon Cockpit Platforms are in more than 75 million cars worldwide, now aided by agentic AI. Bolstering this, Qualcomm announced a partnership with Toyota, which selected the next-generation Snapdragon Cockpit Platform for its all-new RAV4 to deliver advanced AI-driven in-vehicle assistance.
Qualcomm introduced the A10 5G Modem-RF, its first 5G Reduced Capability (RedCap) modem, intended to bring low-cost 5G support to more vehicles. It also showcased a V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) solution with Hyundai Mobis to enhance the detection of non-line-of-sight hazards and bolster crash avoidance capabilities.
