Leveraging both companies’ expertise in core innovation, BMW Group and Qualcomm Technologies will extend their long-standing relationship to deliver safe, smart, and sophisticated driving experiences to BMW Group vehicles.
BMW’s automated-driving stack will be based on the Snapdragon Ride vision system-on-chip (SoC), vision perception, and ADAS central compute SoC controllers managed by Qualcomm Car-2-Cloud services platform.
“Our announcement with BMW today is the onset of a new era in automotive where two technology leaders have come together to design and develop a key element of Snapdragon Digital Chassis for the next generation automobile,” said Cristiano Amon, president and CEO of Qualcomm Incorporated. “We are very proud of this milestone and cannot wait to bring our jointly designed products on the road.”
The BMW Group has been a top provider in driver-assistance innovation for more than two decades. In its quest to continue expanding a broad portfolio of driver-assistance systems, the company will work with Qualcomm Technologies to bring a full spectrum of ADAS/AD functions — including front, rear, and surround view camera computer vision in a dedicated computer vision SoC, as well as a high-performance ADAS central compute controller.
“BMW has chosen Qualcomm Technologies as our technology partner and systems solutions provider based on the company’s breadth and depth of portfolio, as well as proven expertise in compute, connectivity, computer vision, advanced semiconductors, and driver-assistance technologies,” said Nicolai Martin, SVP Driving Experience, BMW Group. “We look forward to working in direct relationship with Qualcomm Technologies to build our next-generation ADAS/AD platform, as well as to continue delivering world-class driving experiences to our customers.”
“Our goal has always been to offer automakers an open, comprehensive and transformative platform that encompasses semiconductor, software, stack, systems and services,” added Nakul Duggal, senior VP and GM, automotive, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. “We are honored to be selected by the BMW Group to be its ADAS technology partner for computer vision stack, vision SoC, and ADAS central compute controllers, and we look forward to joint development and deployment of these products.”
