The Dimensity Auto Cockpit solution competes with Qualcomm Snapdragon Ride but it remains to be seen how the Dimensity Auto squares up with the Snapdragon Ride. Its 3nm process is better than the 4nm process in the Qualcomm model. It can be combined with Dimensity Auto Connect which targets the Snapdragon Auto 5G Modem-RF Gen 2. It will support Wi-Fi 7, GN SS, Bluetooth, 5G NTN, and others. The new MediaTek Dimensity Auto platform will help deliver super-smart vehicles that could be as smart as a flagship mobile device.

There are several embedded features and functionality of the MediaTek Dimensity including a dedicated DSP for microphone audio. There are no official timelines yet for the release of the MediaTek Dimensity Auto platform in production vehicles. All the same, its entry into the automotive industry could be epochal, with its raft of innovative features.
