A next-gen upgrade of the ultimate driving experience

Qualcomm Technologies and BMW partnered to redefine what it means both to drive and to be driven. What lies ahead is a complete transformation of the in-car experience, powered by the Snapdragon Ride Pilot Platform. We’re rethinking how we go about reaching the destination—and how immersive every aspect of the journey can become.

Accelerating automated driving technology

Creating a new driving experience is a shared endeavor. For Qualcomm Technologies and BMW, that means having a global, cohesive team of 1,400+ specialists collaborating to develop an ADAS stack unlike any the world has seen—one that can guide everyone into a future of automated driving. Creating smarter path planning and more seamless interactions between the driver and the vehicle isn’t just about advancing our ambitions. It’s about advancing the entire auto industry.

Equal parts safety and sophistication

By working with BMW, we’ve expanded Snapdragon Ride to include automated driving software designed to deliver exceptional performance with a focus on safety. It serves as the first, formative step in creating advanced, AI-powered ADAS/AD experiences that pave the way for the entire auto industry.

Broadening the view

The Mercedes-Benz CLA and all-new electric GLC unlock new possibilities. The Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) is powered by Snapdragon® Cockpit Platform, designed to deliver a fully digital, personalized infotainment experience.

"As cars become smarter, more autonomous and more integrated with digital life, software updates will become increasingly sophisticated. It means we can deliver features faster, more efficiently and flexibly than ever before, and tailor them to specific customer demand in different markets.” 

Magnus Östberg
Chief Software Officer, Mercedes-Benz

Mercedes-Benz ingenuity meets our innovation 

Together, we’ve reimagined the in-vehicle experience. With the CLA and GLC, Snapdragon® Cockpit Platform brings the Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) to life. The result? An in-car experience that’s more intuitive, intelligent, and personal.

Hyperintelligent infotainment

In-car assistance and seamless, natural vehicle-driver interactions that adapt and improve over time aren’t just AI features that customers expect. They deliver an experience that’s miles ahead of expectations because of the Snapdragon Cockpit Platform.

Continually improving
with connectivity

Experience cutting-edge connectivity. Multimedia streaming, high-speed Wi-Fi and Bluetooth® connectivity for gaming, and augmented reality navigation are all made possible by Snapdragon® Auto Connectivity playing a key role in the CLA's Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) system. And over-the-air updates demonstrate a new auto-industry standard of never leaving drivers behind the times.


Designed to get better by the mile

The intuitive and immersive in-cabin experiences and responsive infotainment systems in new vehicles like the EX90, ES90, and EX30 were built using multiple elements of the Snapdragon Digital Chassis, and are frequently updated over-the-air to enable a car that can always meet the moment.
