Visteon Corporation (Nasdaq: VC), ECARX and Qualcomm Technologies,
Inc. today announced an initiative to develop intelligent cockpit
solutions across conventional and electric vehicle
applications.
Visteon and ECARX, using Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ Automotive
Cockpit Platforms, are working together to develop these
intelligent technologies and sharing research to commercialize an
integrated cockpit project for a variety of vehicle platforms
starting in 2021. Sachin Lawande, president and CEO of Visteon,
described digital content as “the battleground” for OEMs as human
interfaces becomes more complex and connected technologies are
increasingly important to improve the cockpit.
“Our cooperation with ECARX and Qualcomm Technologies on
intelligent cockpits will offer a compelling new digital experience
to users,” Lawande said. “Visteon is pleased with the work we’ve
done with ECARX and Qualcomm Technologies. Our teams have undergone
rapid development, design and integration together, and are
committed to delivering technology and creativity for a
high-quality cockpit experience across multiple segments.”
As a leading developer of connected car ecosystems, ECARX has
made significant achievements in revolutionizing the cockpit
experience and is making major investments to establish global
platforms.
“Our work with Visteon and Qualcomm Technologies delivers
world-class performance of our platform and technology as we expand
our presence in the global automotive industry,” said Ziyu Shen,
ECARX CEO. “ECARX has a leading position in China with a strong and
unique ecosystem structure, leading HMI, connectivity and
infotainment. This is the latest example of a growth strategy that
will continue to create new and global business opportunities by
engaging the best digital electronics and software talents in our
technology industry.”
With the companies’ expertise and processing power, Visteon and
Qualcomm Technologies develop intelligent, platform-based solutions
that bring scenario-based, personalized automotive cockpit
experiences to drivers. Visteon will incorporate the 3rd Generation
Snapdragon™ Automotive Cockpit Platforms into its next-generation
SmartCore™ cockpit domain control platform, creating an
infotainment ecosystem that safely delivers integrity-level
information to drivers and advanced driver assistance systems
(ADAS).
Based on the 3rd Generation Snapdragon Automotive Cockpit
Platforms, Visteon’s SmartCore™ further improves the development
capability of intelligent cockpits for ECARX’s transition to an
intelligent cockpit solution. SmartCore™ independently operates
multiple displays and applications throughout the cockpit, keeping
occupants informed and entertained. As the first Tier 1 supplier to
offer a cockpit domain controller on a production vehicle, Visteon
will deliver robust and reliable hardware systems for ECARX global
applications. Visteon has worked with Qualcomm Technologies since
2018, focusing on developing next-generation solutions for
ECARX.
“As Qualcomm Technologies expands its presence throughout the
automotive segment, we can bring broader and deeper levels of
support to new customers for a more immersive cockpit experience by
working with the world-class technical and customer support from
Visteon,” said Nakul Duggal, senior vice president and GM,
automotive at Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. “We have a long and
trusted relationship with Visteon, and we are confident that their
strong experience with our products and technologies will allow
them to bring effective and comprehensive support to ECARX for our
