Qualcomm at CES 2022 announced new OEM clients and the opening of an engineering software office in Berlin to support the company’s European Snapdragon Digital Chassis customers.

The Digital Chassis is a collection of cloud-connected platforms that automakers can adopt in full or partly, comprised of Snapdragon Ride Platform for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), Auto Connectivity Platform for LTE, 5G connected services, cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X), Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and precise positioning, and the next generation of the Snapdragon Cockpit (via TechCrunch).

According to Qualcomm, its integrated automotive platforms, including Digital Chassis, have an order pipeline of over $13 billion.

One of the companies contributing toward the sum is Volvo, which has become one of the many automakers to have integrated Snapdragon tech into its vehicles. Volvo announced on Tuesday that its upcoming fully electric Polestar 3 SUV will be benefitting from Qualcomm’s Digital Cockpit, be powered by Google’s Android OS, and come with an array of wireless technologies to support Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

Other customers include Honda and Renault that too announced similar products and plans, joining an ever-increasing group of companies that will be using Snapdragon tech on their EVs.

“Qualcomm Technologies understands automakers’ needs for uniqueness and differentiation as well as the tremendous opportunity to redefine the automotive and transportation business model,” said Nakul Duggal, senior vice president and general manager of automotive at Qualcomm. “The Snapdragon Digital Chassis allows platforms to stay continually up-to-date with new capabilities after vehicle purchase while allowing the automaker to create new features and services for enhanced customer engagement and services-based business models.”
