As an important driving force for the digital transformation of automobiles, Qualcomm is empowering digital cockpits, Internet of Vehicles/C-V2X, ADAS and autonomous driving, cloud measurement terminal management and other fields through a variety of solutions to help build more connected, automated and The future of electrification redefines the car of the future.

　　As of now, according to Meng Pu, chairman of Qualcomm China, revealed at the 2021 Qualcomm Technology and Cooperation Summit on May 21, more than 150 million vehicles worldwide have adopted Qualcomm’s solutions, and 20 of the 25 top automakers have adopted Qualcomm’s solutions. The family chose to use the Snapdragon digital cockpit platform, and the total value of orders for solutions such as Qualcomm's in-vehicle networking, infotainment and in-car connectivity has approached US$9 billion. In the Chinese market, in the past 18 months, automakers have launched more than 20 models equipped with Qualcomm automotive solutions.

　　For example, Ideal ONE, thanks to the support of Qualcomm's Snapdragon automotive digital cockpit platform 820A, has achieved a perfect four-screen interactive experience, including the introduction of WeChat, QQ music and other functions in the car, and continued to expand the application ecology to make the car truly home. extend. “We have statistics. Ideal ONE owners spend an average of 4.4 hours in the car every week, but the length of non-driving time has reached 4.4 hours.” Talking about the changes brought about by Qualcomm's digital cockpit platform to the ideal ONE cockpit experience, the ideal car co-founder Shen Yanan, the person and president, said at the summit.

　　He also revealed that in the future, given the good cooperation between the two companies, Ideal Auto and Qualcomm will also explore some potential cooperation opportunities in the field of autonomous driving. "The tide of intelligentization has also brought great changes to the century-old automobile industry. Today's automobile is not only a tool for travel, but also an informationized product. An ideal automobile as one of the new forces in China's automobile manufacturing industry. We have an in-depth and long-term cooperation with Qualcomm. We will continue to "create a mobile home" as our mission, relying on Qualcomm's most advanced technology and products to create smart electric vehicles that are better than fuel vehicles and turn the car into an extension of the home. Become a new smart space." Shen Yanan pointed out.

　　HiPhi X, powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon digital cockpit platform, has also realized a series of dazzling cockpit experiences. It is reported that the Snapdragon digital cockpit platform provides multiple cockpit 4K displays for HiPhi X, and the screens in the car can also cooperate with each other to provide users with an immersive multimedia experience. In addition, Gaohe HiPhi X is also equipped with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 5G platform, which integrates C-V2X technology and supports Gaohe HiPhi X. It provides 5G and Car networking services, and provide assistance for high-level autonomous driving assistance functions. The car was also displayed at the event.

　　It is particularly worth mentioning that, in Meng Pu’s view, the current car manufacturers’ adoption of 5G technology is far faster than 4G. "In the early stage of 4G commercial use, from 2013 to 2014, only two automakers launched 4G cars in two years. However, in just two years of commercial use of 5G, more than 18 automakers have released or plan to release cars that support 5G. "This also means that among the many areas empowered by 5G, the automotive industry will become one of the first areas to be transformed by cellular technology.

　　In addition to working with the aforementioned partners in the automotive field to outline the future of intelligent connected cars, Qualcomm also announced another important investment in the automotive field at the summit—an additional investment in the Series D financing of ZongMu Technology. It is reported that the financing will be Officially announced recently. As optimistic about the smart driving track, Qualcomm participated in the investment in ZongMu Technology as early as June 2019. At that time, Qualcomm Ventures led the investment in ZongMu Technology’s C+ round of financing. This investment again fully demonstrates its commitment to autonomous driving. Recognition of the track and ZongMu technology.

　　In fact, Qualcomm and ZongMu Technology also have in-depth cooperation in terms of technology. At this summit, the memory parking system that ZongMu Technology highlighted is based on Qualcomm's car-level chips, which realizes the deep integration of visual, 4D millimeter-wave radar and ultrasonic perception Raw Data, and achieves superior parking with low-cost hardware resources. Car performance. When using this function, the vehicle will memorize and draw the parking lot by the user’s frequently used parking area, as well as the boarding and disembarking routes. After the user enters the parking lot again, he only needs to turn on the automatic parking or pick-up function on the mobile phone APP. It can automatically find free parking spaces in the area to complete the parking, or drive the vehicle out of the parking space to the pick-up point.

　　Looking to the future, Meng Pu pointed out that the interconnection between cars and the cloud in the next ten years will fundamentally change the business model of cars and the future user experience. And these changes will be concentrated in three aspects: First, 5G C-V2X and other technologies will accelerate the interconnection of cars and everything, including connections with surrounding traffic participants and the cloud. Second, technologies such as digital cockpit, in-vehicle networking, and top-level audio are creating a better driving experience for consumers. Third, the intelligentization of digital cars, including the intelligent interaction system of people and cars and the automation of vehicle driving, will make cars the next generation of smart terminals after personal computers and mobile phones.

　　Therefore, in the future, Qualcomm will continue to invest in the evolution of 5G technology and product roadmaps, cooperate with the ecosystem to accelerate the application of 5G in different vertical fields, and provide comprehensive support to help partners in various industries to fully release various social values.
