Qualcomm Technologies and Valeo have expanded their longstanding collaboration to deliver advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and automated driving (AD) solutions to the global automotive industry. The technology collaboration will integrate Qualcomm Technologies’ scalable Snapdragon Ride Pilot solutions with Valeo’s expertise in hardware and software, including automatic parking software algorithms, sensors and ECU systems.
“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 general manager, automotive and 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 auto makers to accelerate innovation and bring next-generation driving experiences to market faster and more efficiently.”
Qualcomm Technologies’ scalable Snapdragon Ride Pilot solutions include Snapdragon Ride system-on-chips (SoCs) and the Snapdragon Ride ADAS/AD software stack.
“This relationship builds on years of successful collaboration between Valeo and Qualcomm Technologies,” added Marc Vrecko, the CEO of Valeo Brain. “Together, we are delivering a full system solution that integrates best-in-class hardware, software and system expertise, empowering auto makers with a flexible, future-ready platform that meets the evolving expectations of drivers worldwide.”
The two companies have teamed up to provide a pre-integrated AD/ADAS solution to simplify vehicle-level implementation and meet the growing demand for faster time-to-market for global auto makers. It includes a comprehensive suite of production-ready sensors, a compute unit, applications supporting hands-off driving, automated parking, driver and occupant monitoring and built-in NCAP 5-star safety features.
The scalable system supports a wide range of hardware configurations, from entry-level systems to centralized high-performance compute for software-defined vehicles (SDVs). It also supports the integration of in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) capabilities into a single unit powered by one Snapdragon Ride Flex SoC.
