Qualcomm: Pursuing Next-Gen Connected Car with Snapdragon
January 8, 2014
Qualcomm is upping the ante in the automotive space with Snapdragon Automotive Solutions in the QNX CAR Platform for Infotainment, which supports high-performance video and graphics capabilities for connected infotainment systems. The solutions are designed for a more interactive in-car experience, and allow things such as streaming movies and music directly to the vehicle with multiple tasks executed in different locations within the car.
The move — implemented through the Qualcomm Technologies subsidiary in conjunction with QNX Software Systems Limited — marks the first automotive implementation of the complete Snapdragon Automotive Solutions. The technology is being demonstrated in a QNX reference vehicle — a specially modified Jeep Wrangler — in the North Hall at CES.
Snapdragon Automotive Solutions include the Qualcomm Snapdragon 602A applications processor with support for high-resolution graphics and HMIs, facial, gesture and voice recognition, high-quality audio processing and image stitching, and multiple HD displays and cameras.
Qualcomm Gobi 3G/4G LTE modems bring multimode cellular connectivity, and Qualcomm VIVE adds in-car Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity.
The set up will enable the next-generation of connected-car infotainment, including enhanced 3D navigation, rear-seat 3D gaming and other sophisticated user apps as well as the already prevalent voice recognition, cloud-based vehicle analytics and geo-mapping.
