AMSTERDAM, Netherlands and SAN DIEGO, CA, May 26, 2026 – Stellantis is integrating Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Digital Chassis SoCs into STLA Brain as it expands the computing infrastructure behind future vehicle programs. The hardware will support cockpit, connectivity and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) functions across multiple Stellantis brands, while providing a common electronics foundation for software-defined vehicle development.
The expanded collaboration combines Snapdragon Digital Chassis SoCs with Stellantis’ electronic and software architecture. The setup is designed to support feature upgrades, shorten development work across brands and segments and improve cost efficiency through platform standardization.
The agreement also includes Snapdragon Ride Pilot ADAS platform. The system can support functions ranging from active safety and regulatory features to Level 2+ hands-free driving, enabling ADAS features across Stellantis vehicles.
The work builds on existing Stellantis and Qualcomm activity in cockpit and connectivity systems and adds compute capacity for AI-driven vehicle functions. Stellantis and Qualcomm have also signed a non-binding letter of intent for aiMotive, Stellantis’ automated driving and simulation company, to join Qualcomm Technologies.
“Our customers deserve seamless, next-generation experiences that continuously evolve to meet their driving needs. By deploying this intelligent platform across our global portfolio, Stellantis is delivering on that promise with unprecedented speed and efficiency,” said Ned Curic, chief engineering and technology officer, Stellantis. “This is made possible through our strategic collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies, which allows us to scale smarter, connected capabilities across all our brands.”
“This expansion reflects the scale and depth of what Qualcomm and Stellantis have built together – a relationship that spans connectivity, digital cockpit and now ADAS and automated driving” said Nakul Duggal, EVP and group general manager, automotive, industrial and embedded IoT, Qualcomm. “Our Snapdragon Digital Chassis enables scalable deployment of unified compute power and advanced driving capabilities across vehicles and brands, and extending that across the full Stellantis portfolio marks a meaningful inflection point for both companies and for the drivers who experience it.”
