SAN DIEGO, July 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: QCOM) and BMW Group today announced a major agreement for the provision of compute silicon for BMW Group's next-generation digital cockpit and advanced driver assistance and automated driving (ADAS/AD) systems through the next decade. The agreement reflects years of technical collaboration and Qualcomm Technologies' ability to deliver compute performance and AI capabilities that BMW Group's most demanding vehicle programs require. Spanning Qualcomm Technologies' Snapdragon® Digital Chassis™ solutions, including its most powerful system-on-chips (SoCs), the Snapdragon® Elite automotive platform, and dedicated AI accelerators, the agreement establishes the hardware basis for BMW Group to deliver the next generation AI-powered experiences.

"The versatility and performance depth of the Snapdragon Digital Chassis has enabled our companies to continually expand the scope and ambition of what we build together," said Nakul Duggal, EVP and Group GM, Automotive, Industrial and Embedded IoT and Robotics, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. "We are proud to partner with BMW Group and to contribute to their vision of the next-generation vehicle. Being selected as their lead compute silicon provider for the digital cockpit and automated driving reflects the trust BMW Group has placed in our technology and roadmap. As agentic and physical AI drive a new generation of intelligent vehicles, this collaboration enables both companies to define the future of mobility."

The companies' existing collaboration was most recently demonstrated with the November 2025 commercial launch of Snapdragon Ride™ Pilot in the BMW iX3, the first vehicle in BMW Group's Neue Klasse program. Co-developed by both companies, Snapdragon Ride Pilot powers BMW's distinctive Symbiotic Drive experience, integrating the driver into the automated driving system in a way that is uniquely BMW in the automaker's latest vehicle generation.

The Snapdragon Digital Chassis is Qualcomm Technologies' integrated automotive compute platform, built over more than two decades of investment in automotive-grade silicon and software. Its solutions are each purpose-built for their domain yet designed to work together on a common architecture, enabling the vehicle to function as a unified intelligent system.
