Qualcomm has partnered with Alphabet's Google to revolutionize the automotive world by integrating AI voice assistants into vehicles.
The collaboration will allow automakers to customize their own AI assistants using Qualcomm's advanced chips and AI technology from Google.
Leveraging Qualcomm's longstanding role in mobile chips and its growing influence in the automotive sector, the partnership promises improvements to dashboards and autonomous driving systems.
Android Automotive OS from Google, unlike the more familiar Android Auto, operates behind the scenes to generate the vehicle's computing system.
With advanced chips from Qualcomm, automakers can create AI-based voice assistants without relying on the driver's phone.
This joint effort is expected to simplify the development process, reduce confusion for automakers by offering effective solutions.
In addition, Qualcomm introduced two new chips: the Snapdragon Cockpit Elite, designed for more advanced dashboards, and the Snapdragon Ride Elite, which aims to improve autonomous driving features.
Mercedes-Benz has already signed a deal to incorporate the Snapdragon Elite Cockpit chip in future models, marking a shift in how automakers use AI to improve the driving experience.
