Qualcomm Technologies and Valeo have expanded their longstanding collaboration to deliver Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Automated Driving (AD) technologies to the global automotive industry.
The companies’ technology collaboration integrates Qualcomm Technologies’ Snapdragon Ride Pilot solutions (including Snapdragon Ride System-on-Chips (SoCs) and the Snapdragon Ride ADAS/AD software stack) with Valeo’s expertise in hardware and software, including automatic parking software algorithms, sensors, ECU systems, integration and validation.
“Our longstanding collaboration with Valeo continues to evolve as we jointly address the growing demand for best-in-class scalable, safety-centric ADAS and Automated Driving solutions,” said Nakul Duggal, group GM of automotive & industrial and embedded IoT at Qualcomm Technologies.
“By combining our Snapdragon Ride solutions with Valeo’s proven system expertise in parking solutions, sensors and system integration, we’re enabling automakers to accelerate innovation and bring next-generation driving experiences to market faster and more efficiently.”
Building upon successful launches with various global automakers, the two companies are now working together more closely to offer a pre-integrated AD/ADAS solution designed to streamline vehicle-level implementation and addresses demand from OEMs to accelerate time-to-market.
The AD/ADAS system includes a range of production-ready sensors, a compute unit, and numerous applications to support functions such as hands-off driving, automated parking, driver and occupant monitoring, and built-in NCAP 5-star safety features.
The system also supports a wide range of hardware configurations, from entry-level systems to centralised high-performance compute for Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs). It enables the seamless integration of ADAS and In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) capabilities into a single unit, powered by one Snapdragon Ride Flex System-on-Chip (SoC).
