"Qualcomm is joining forces with BMW on a new driver-assist system that will allow drivers to take their hands off the wheel on approved roads. Qualcomm, which supplies infotainment, driver-assist, and telematics systems to a variety of automakers, is looking to raise its portfolio in the auto industry, as more car companies turn to advanced processors and chips to power high-tech features. The San Diego-based chipmaker says it currently has $45 billion in future revenue in its automotive pipeline right now."
"Now it's teaming up with BMW to bring hands-free driving and more advanced autonomous features to more vehicles. The two companies jointly developed the new software system, which signals a growing role for automakers in the development of their autonomous systems. It's built on Qualcomm's Snapdragon Ride system-on-a-chip using this jointly developed software stack. And Qualcomm says it was built "to meet the highest safety standards," citing the European Union's New Car Assessment Programme for Level 2 Plus systems."
Qualcomm and BMW jointly developed a driver-assist software stack that enables hands-free driving on approved roads and adds advanced autonomous features. The system runs on Qualcomm's Snapdragon Ride system-on-a-chip and uses a jointly developed software stack designed to meet stringent safety benchmarks, citing the European Union's New Car Assessment Programme for Level 2 Plus systems. Qualcomm reports roughly $45 billion in potential future automotive revenue in its pipeline. The hands-free system will debut on the BMW iX3 in 2026 and is comparable to Tesla's Full Self-Driving, GM's Super Cruise, and Ford's BlueCruise.
