Infineon and Qualcomm team up on car computers for automated driving

What happened

The companies have signed a technology agreement to have a microcontroller-based design pattern (the “subsystem”) for Qualcomm Technologies’ Snapdragon Ride reference platforms for high-performance computing and in-vehicle artificial intelligence. Infineon Technologies says it is working with Qualcomm Technologies to accelerate the development and deployment of central car computers in software-defined vehicles (SDVs). Qualcomm is a semiconductor and telecommunications company based in San Diego, and its products and services include Qualcomm Snapdragon and software.

November 3, 2026 by Sam Francis Infineon Technologies says it is working with Qualcomm Technologies to accelerate the development and deployment of central car computers in software-defined vehicles (SDVs). Combined, these aim to provide a streamlined path for the deployment of car computers that combine driver assistance and automated driving functions with cutting-edge cockpit solutions.

The announcement comes ahead of electronica (10-13 November) in Munich, Germany. At the trade fair, Infineon will showcase its contributions for the AI era , including semiconductor solutions for centralized architectures in software-defined vehicles.
