SAN DIEGO, CA and STUTTGART, Germany, Apr 10, 2026 – Bosch and Qualcomm Technologies are expanding their partnership from cockpit vehicle computers to advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). The expansion builds on more than 10 million vehicle computers delivered using Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Cockpit platforms for the global automotive market.
“By combining leading-edge compute technology with our system integration expertise – hardware, software, and safety – we enable automakers to meet the rising demand for personalized, safe, and comfortable driving experiences,” said Christoph Hartung, member of the Bosch Mobility business sector board, chief technology officer for systems, software, and services, and president of the division cross-domain computing solutions. “The growing success of our collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies underlines a central value Bosch brings to the industry: we provide the robust, high-performance computing platforms that form the backbone of today’s software-defined vehicle.”
“Our collaboration with Bosch spans the full spectrum of vehicle compute – from high‑performance cockpit systems to scalable automated driving solutions and emerging centralized vehicle architectures – all powered by Snapdragon Digital Chassis automotive platforms,” said Nakul Duggal, EVP and group GM, automotive, industrial and embedded IoT, and robotics, Qualcomm Technologies. “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.”
The companies are extending their collaboration into new ADAS production programs using vehicle computers based on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Ride platform. The programs use Bosch vehicle computer architecture to support scalable ADAS deployment across different vehicle segments.
The systems combine cockpit and ADAS functions on a single system-on-chip (SoC) using Snapdragon Ride Flex SoCs, allowing mixed-criticality workloads to run on shared hardware. Bosch’s ADAS integration platform provides a modular vehicle computer that supports sensor fusion, high data throughput, and real-time processing for 360° environment modeling and vehicle control.
The Next Frontier: Jointly Engineering the Future of ADAS
Bosch and Qualcomm’s joint programs include production deployments with global customers in East Asia and support centralized vehicle computing architectures with fewer high-performance control units. The systems support configurations ranging from basic driver assistance functions to higher levels of automated driving. Initial vehicles based on these programs are expected to enter production in 2028.
Bosch and Qualcomm are also integrating cockpit and ADAS functions on shared hardware to reduce system complexity and power requirements. Snapdragon Ride Flex enables this integration on a safety-certifiable SoC, while Bosch systems combine driving and infotainment functions in a single compute unit.
Both the ADAS and cross-domain computing solutions are designed to meet safety requirements ( up to ASIL-D) and support features such as lane keeping, hands-free driving, and automated parking.
A Story of Successful Collaboration: Defining the Modern Digital Cockpit
Bosch has delivered more than 10 million vehicle computers using Qualcomm Technologies Snapdragon Cockpit platforms, up from one million units in 2023 following program awards with global automakers. The systems are deployed across North America, Asia, and Europe in vehicles ranging from entry-level to premium models. Bosch integrates Snapdragon Cockpit platforms into cockpit systems that support multiple displays and camera inputs. The platforms handle compute and power management for in-vehicle processing. They support display control, multimedia processing, low-latency data handling, and voice processing across different vehicle configurations.
