If you’re looking to buy a vehicle loaded with digital tech, odds are Qualcomm built the architecture for it. The company’s Snapdragon Digital Chassis—the software that runs the digital parts of the car, such as audio and displays, but also autonomous parking and navigation, and EV efficiency features—is being used in part by major automakers, including General Motors and BMW. A set of customizable, integrated platforms that are more advanced than any previous software, Digital Chassis is connected to the cloud nearly 100% of the time, processing information to enable automakers to create a safer experience.
