Qualcomm was also expanding the connectivity capabilities of those platforms with the Qualcomm Snapdragon Automotive 4G and 5G Platforms.
Drawing from the rich resource of technologies such as integrated Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X), Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and other precise positioning technologies, the platforms could easily connect vehicles to the cloud for improved experiences.
Qualcomm also stated during the said event that the predecessor Snapdragon Automotive Cockpit Platforms were being adopted across tier-1 suppliers such as Google LLC, LG Electronics Inc, Visteon Corporation, Panasonic Corporation, among several others, and vehicles having these platforms were projected to be available commercially later this year.
Qualcomm Senior Vice President Nakul Duggal said in his remarks that their 4th Generation Automotive Cockpit Platforms would continue to be developed as they strived to deliver advanced digital cabin solutions and to reinvent the driver, passenger, and rear-seat entertainment and contextual awareness experience as well.
