"Volkswagen Group has signed up Qualcomm Technologies to serve as its primary tech provider for the launch of its zonal software-defined vehicle (SDV) architecture. The deal will see the deployment of Snapdragon Digital Chassis services to support advanced infotainment capabilities in Volkswagen Group's zonal SDV architecture - developed through its joint venture with Rivian Automotive (RV Tech) - providing system-on-chips (SoCs) for infotainment capabilities starting in 2027, and a technological foundation for SDV architecture and highly automated driving functions."
"RV Tech aims to use the Snapdragon Cockpit Platform for immersive digital experiences based on the zonal SDV architecture in which modular central computers manage all vehicle functions. The intended supply agreement will be driven forward by Audi AG and Volkswagen Passenger Cars, with the goal of achieving a VW Group-wide impact. It aims to reinforce Volkswagen's strategy to consolidate the procurement of key components and expand expertise in integrating semiconductors and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, ensuring scalable, future-ready mobility offerings across its vehicle portfolio."
