Bosch and Qualcomm expand collaboration on ADAS solutions

Bosch and Qualcomm have expanded their strategic partnership and will now collaborate more intensively in the area of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). This extends the companies' previous cooperation, which primarily focused on vehicle cockpit systems. The goal of the collaboration is to make intelligent vehicle technologies scalable and enable a broader adoption of automated, connected, and personalized automotive functions. As part of the expanded partnership, Bosch and Qualcomm are combining their respective strengths: Bosch contributes its expertise in system integration and hardware and software development, while Qualcomm supplies its Snapdragon platforms for high-performance vehicle computers. The new solutions are based, among other things, on the Snapdragon Ride platform and are intended to enable a scalable implementation of ADAS functions—from basic assistance systems like lane-keeping and adaptive cruise control to more complex automated driving functions. A central component of the collaboration is the development of powerful vehicle computers that can consolidate various functions. This also includes the integration of cockpit and ADAS systems on a shared platform to simplify system architecture, reduce costs, and increase performance. The partnership builds on an already successful collaboration: Bosch has delivered over 10 million vehicle computers worldwide based on Qualcomm's Snapdragon Cockpit platforms. The first vehicles featuring the new ADAS solutions are expected to come to market starting in 2028. With this expanded cooperation, both companies are responding to the growing demand for software-defined vehicles and centralized computing architectures—a trend that is likely to significantly shape the future development of the automotive industry
