Stellantis and Qualcomm Technologies have announced the expansion of their multi-year collaboration for next-generation automotive compute platforms. The companies noted their intent to focus on the development of advanced driver assistance systems, digital cockpit technologies, vehicle connectivity, and software-defined vehicle architectures across Stellantis’ global vehicle portfolio.
The core focus of the collaboration is on integration of Qualcomm Technologies’ Snapdragon Digital Chassis system-on-chips with Stellantis’ STLA Brain electronic and software platform and further supporting centralized compute architectures that can deliver scalable performance across cockpit, connectivity, and automated driving environments.
Automotive manufacturers are increasingly transitioning toward software-defined vehicle architectures. The systems require high-performance semiconductor platforms that are capable of seamlessly supporting AI-assisted driving systems, advanced connectivity, centralized vehicle compute, and continuous feature updates across multiple vehicle platforms and brands.
The expanded collaboration also includes Qualcomm Technologies’ Snapdragon Ride Pilot ADAS platform, which supports scalable deployment of advanced driver assistance technologies ranging from active safety systems through Level 2+ hands-free automated driving applications.
Stellantis and Qualcomm Technologies are expanding collaboration on centralized automotive compute architectures supporting ADAS, connectivity, digital cockpit technologies, and software-defined vehicle platforms.
As vehicle architectures become more centralized and software-driven, automotive OEMs are emphasizing a market need for scalable semiconductor platforms capable of supporting unified compute environments across infotainment, connectivity, safety systems, autonomous driving, and vehicle intelligence applications.
“Our customers deserve seamless, next-generation experiences that continuously evolve to meet their driving needs. By deploying this intelligent platform across our global portfolio, Stellantis is delivering on that promise with unprecedented speed and efficiency,” said Ned Curic, Chief Engineering and Technology Officer, Stellantis. “This is made possible through our strategic collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies, which allows us to scale smarter, connected capabilities across all our brands.”
The collaboration builds on existing work involving cockpit systems and connectivity technologies while expanding into ADAS and automated driving compute infrastructure intended to support scalable deployment across Stellantis vehicle platforms worldwide.
The companies stated that the collaboration is intended to support faster technology deployment, continuous software upgrades, improved operational efficiency, and AI-driven vehicle experiences across Stellantis brands and vehicle segments.
“This expansion reflects the scale and depth of what Qualcomm and Stellantis have built together – a relationship that spans connectivity, digital cockpit and now ADAS and automated driving” said Nakul Duggal, EVP and Group General Manager, Automotive, Industrial and Embedded IoT, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. “Our Snapdragon Digital Chassis enables scalable deployment of unified compute power and advanced driving capabilities across vehicles and brands, and extending that across the full Stellantis portfolio marks a meaningful inflection point for both companies and for the drivers who experience it.”
The expanded agreement also includes a non-binding letter of intent involving Stellantis-owned automated driving and simulation company aiMotive potentially joining Qualcomm Technologies, subject to future agreements and regulatory approvals. The broader automotive electronics industry continues placing increasing emphasis on centralized compute architectures, AI-enabled semiconductor platforms, and scalable vehicle software ecosystems as manufacturers accelerate development of software-defined and increasingly autonomous vehicle platforms.
