The 5G Smart Car is coming and Qualcomm aims to dominate its dashboard
Chris Davies - Jan 26, 2021, 11:19am CST
Qualcomm is firmly embedded in phones, and now it wants to dominate the car dashboard, with multiple launches today that should push 5G-connected vehicles, Alexa-powered infotainment, and eventually autonomous driving into the mainstream. Star of the show is the 4th generation Snapdragon Automotive Cockpit Platforms, designed to unlock features like augmented reality and artificial intelligence for the road.
It’s a flourishing segment, certainly, as new vehicles rapidly catch up to the sort of high-tech interfaces and features that we’ve come to expect from our phones. Embedded 4G LTE and WiFi hotspot support is increasingly common even in the most affordable vehicles, as are Level 2 advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), while it’s not uncommon for analog gauges to be completely replaced with digital instrumentation.
