MUNICH, Germany, Sep 10, 2025 – Automakers are entering a new phase of in-car technology as Qualcomm Technologies and Google Cloud expand their collaboration. By collaborating snapdragon digital chassis solutions with automotive AI agent, both the companies aim to deliver hybrid AI agents that streamline development and deploy multimodal, hybrid AI agents.
Google Cloud’s Automotive AI Agent enables automakers to create multimodal agents. By integrating Automotive AI Agent with Qualcomm Snapdragon Digital Chassis solutions, automakers will have a set of tools to create and deliver customizable AI experiences that move beyond simple commands to enhanced, conversational, personalized agents in and around the vehicle.
Automotive AI Agent with Snapdragon reduces development by providing reference architectures and prebuilt tools for conversational navigation, media and entertainment, and vehicle controls. Additionally, the integration enables automakers to build branded systems with Gemini and cloud for flexible use of on-device and cloud-based processing.
“AI will fundamentally redefine the carmaker’s ability to provide experiences in and around the car, making it more intuitive, personalized, and helpful for drivers and passengers,” said Shiv Venkataraman, VP, Applied AI, Google Cloud. “Through our collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies, we are putting automakers firmly in the driver’s seat. This collaboration delivers a secure, brand-owned platform that allows automakers to design advanced AI companions capable of multi-modal, multi-lingual, and multi-intent capabilities. This is a clear example of how our joint innovation is accelerating the future of mobility.”
“The automotive industry is on the verge of major transformation driven by breakthroughs in generative AI and software-defined vehicles,” said Nakul Duggal, group general manager, automotive and industrial & embedded IoT, Qualcomm Technologies. “Our technology collaboration with Google Cloud marks a significant milestone in unlocking new possibilities for automakers, empowering them to create digitally advanced and personalized experiences for their customers. We are excited to pair our industry leadership in automotive technology to help the broad ecosystem bring new AI-driven experiences to the market faster and effectively.”
