Qualcomm has announced that the company is working with Google and Renault to design an in-vehicle experience for Renault’s next-generation electric vehicle, the new Mégane E-TECH Electric, which was unveiled today at IAA Mobility 2021 in Germany.

The carmaker will use the third-generation Qualcomm Snapdragon Automotive Cockpit Platforms for powering a technically advanced infotainment system that includes portrait-sized touchscreen infotainment displays for audio, visual, and navigational functions.

The company adds that the infotainment systems in the new Mégane E-TECH Electric will come equipped with built-in Google apps and services for infotainment and in-vehicle customer applications as well as to keep the vehicle fresh and current with evolving digital trends with its upgradeable capabilities.

Qualcomm’s 3rd generation Snapdragon Automotive Cockpit Platforms are designed to transform in-vehicle experiences, supporting higher levels of compute and intelligence needed for advanced capabilities featured in next-generation vehicles. It aims to offer highly intuitive AI experiences for in-car virtual assistance, natural interactions between the vehicle and driver, and contextual safety use cases.

The digital cockpit in Renault’s Mégane E-TECH Electric is powered by the Android Automotive Operating System (AAOS) that uses Google’s technology to bring a new level of intelligence. It will also feature hands-free help from Google Assistant, positionally precise navigational maps with Google Maps, as well as a rich ecosystem of automotive applications and services on Google Play.
