Bosch and Qualcomm expand collaboration to strategic ADAS solutions

The expanded collaboration will combine Bosch’s vehicle computer architecture with Snapdragon Ride to develop next-generation driver assistance systems.

Bosch and Qualcomm Technologies have expanded their automotive partnership to include advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), broadening a collaboration that previously focused on digital cockpit and infotainment solutions.

As part of the announcement, the companies also revealed a major milestone: Bosch has delivered more than 10 million cockpit computers powered by Snapdragon Cockpit Platforms to automakers worldwide. This achievement comes less than three years after reaching the one-million-unit mark in 2023, highlighting rapid adoption of the technology.

The expanded collaboration will combine Bosch’s vehicle computer architecture with Snapdragon Ride to develop next-generation ADAS solutions. Initial programs will focus on new opportunities in East Asia, covering a wide range of features from entry-level functions such as speed control and lane-keeping to more advanced automated driving capabilities.

A central component of the collaboration is the Snapdragon Ride Flex SoC, which enables cockpit and ADAS functions to run on a single safety-certified processor. According to Bosch, this integrated approach can help reduce system complexity, lower power consumption, and cut development costs for software-defined vehicles. The solutions are designed to meet safety standards up to ASIL-D.

The partnership will support vehicle segments ranging from entry-level to premium models, targeting automakers across North America, Asia, and Europe. For consumers, the collaboration is expected to expand access to Level 2 driver assistance features such as hands-free highway driving and automated parking across a broader range of vehicles.

The first vehicles equipped with the new ADAS solutions are expected to reach public roads by 2028.
