July 29 (Reuters) - Qualcomm said on Wednesday it has signed a long-term deal to supply chips for German luxury automaker BMW's future digital cockpit and advanced driver-assistance systems through the next decade.
The agreement comes as competition intensifies in the automated driving market, with Nvidia and Mobileye Global also aiming to supply chips and software platforms to automakers.
• The deal includes Qualcomm's Snapdragon Digital Chassis solutions, including cockpit processors, automated driving chips and AI accelerators, which the companies said would establish the hardware basis for BMW's AI-led platforms.
• Qualcomm, which is a leading supplier of the chips used in smartphones, has been pushing deeper into automotive electronics, from infotainment to advanced driver-assistance systems.
• The deal expands an existing partnership that launched the Snapdragon Ride Pilot driver-assistance system in BMW's electric iX3, which offered drivers hands-free highway driving, automatic lane changes and parking assistance.
