9, 2020 in Brussels, Belgium. The BMW Vision iNEXT is fully electric, fully connected and offers autonomous driving. When Qualcomm entered the market for ADAS and autonomous vehicle systems with its Snapdragon Ride platform in 2020, the company indicated a desire to build an open and scalable platform that automotive suppliers and OEMs could customize for future ADAS and autonomous vehicle systems.
According to the announcement, Arriver, BMW, and Qualcomm will be jointly developing a software stack designed for level 2 ADAS and level 3 Autonomous Driving . The effort combines BMW’s level 2 AD stack, Arriver’s Vision Perception and NCAP Drive Policy, and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Ride platform. The joint development effort will combine decades of R&D by the three companies and more than 1,400 engineers located in China, the Czech Republic, Germany, Romania, Sweden, and the U.S.
There are three noteworthy points about the announcement. The first is Qualcomm’s continued commitment to the automotive segment. Although Snapdragon Ride was only introduced in 2020, the company has been providing connectivity solutions for several decades, has developed four generations of cockpit/infotainment platforms, and the Ride platform has been in development for over a decade.
We believe that this is the future and are looking at a host of related investments.
What a bunch of rubbish! A sign of failure to follow. Same stories I heard in the Nokia Symbian Saga, who today uses Symbian or Nokia. Fully integrated stacks vertical and horizontal are needed to win against Tesla But BMW is not run by an entrepreneur, so no chance to win
