Qualcomm's goal has always been to offer automakers an open platform, comprehensive, and transformative which includes semiconductors, software, stack, system, and service. Qualcomm Technology is honored to be selected by the BMW Group to be its ADAS technology partner for the computer vision stack, vision SoC dan ADAS central compute controllers, and look forward to the joint development and application of these products.
Its competition currently consists of rival semiconductor companies NVIDIA and Intel, both of which develop and manufacture self-driving and lane-keeping systems. NVIDIA's Drive Orin self-driving system will be used in next-generation Volvo vehicles and Intel Mobileye recently announced a partnership with Geely's sub-brand Zeekr. The existing partnership between BMW and Intel Mobileye will continue, a BMW spokesman told Reuters. This follows reports indicating the BMW Series 7 the next generation will be available with SAE Level autonomous driving features 3 developed by Mobileye.
