Bosch and Qualcomm Technologies have expanded their automotive partnership to include advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), broadening a collaboration previously centered on cockpit computing as the companies target new vehicle launches in East Asia beginning in 2028.
The companies said newly awarded ADAS production programs have secured design wins with automakers in East Asia, with the first vehicles incorporating the technology expected to enter the market in 2028.
The expanded partnership will center on Bosch’s ADAS integration platform built on Qualcomm Technologies’ Snapdragon Ride platform, enabling functions ranging from entry-level driver assistance features such as lane keeping and adaptive speed regulation to more advanced automated driving capabilities.
A combined cockpit and ADAS configuration will also use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Ride Flex system-on-chip, allowing both cockpit and driver assistance functions to run on a single safety-certifiable computing unit. The companies said the approach is intended to reduce system complexity and support automakers transitioning toward centralized vehicle computing architectures.
The announcement also marks a milestone in the firms’ existing cockpit technology partnership. Bosch said it has delivered more than 10 million vehicle computers based on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Cockpit Platforms since initial deliveries began in 2021, with deployments spanning entry-level and premium vehicles in North America, Asia, and Europe.
“By combining leading-edge compute technology with our system integration expertise, hardware, software, and safety, we enable automakers to meet the rising demand for personalised, safe, and comfortable driving experiences,” said Christoph Hartung, chief technology officer for systems, software and services at Bosch Mobility.
“ADAS is where performance and safety must scale in the real world. By expanding our work with Bosch into production-ready ADAS platforms, we’re helping automakers bring advanced driver assistance across vehicle lines more efficiently, with a clear path to centralized compute,” said Nakul Duggal, executive vice president and group general manager for automotive, industrial and embedded IoT, and robotics at Qualcomm Technologies.
