- BMW has been working with Qualcomm and Arriver since late 2021 on some autonomous driving technologies, but now the three have said they are forming a long-term partnership to bring Level 3 technology in BMW to the second half of 2025 and then possibly more. other than that.
- Some of the technologies used are Qualcomm Snapdragon Ride Vision system on a chip (SoC) and Computer Vision technology from Arriver, which will provide better AV options than the current BMW system, which was presented at iX last year and coming to a new 7-series next month.
- BMW can also use this stand-alone technology in the Mini and Rolls-Royce models.
Future iterations of BMW’s autonomous control technology will be more related, not just to the growing Internet of Things. This week, BMW announced more details about its partnership with autonomous driving Qualcomm and Arriver that the three companies will jointly develop new-generation automated driving solutions that will offer Level 3 capabilities in the second half of 2025 with a focus on Level 4 capabilities thereafter. In short, level 3 will allow drivers to drive without having to touch the steering wheel or constantly monitor the road when they are on certain highways, but a person should be prepared to take control if the system cannot drive on its own.
This week’s news grew out of an announcement from November 2021, when BMW announced that its next-generation automated driving system would use Qualcomm Snapdragon Ride Vision’s on-chip (SoC) system and Arriver’s Computer Vision technology. In the future, the joint project will combine modern automated driving technologies of BMW, which debuted in BMW iX in 2021 and next month there will be a new 7 Series with Arriver and Qualcomm technology. The Qualcomm Snapdragon Ride autonomous driving platform can be used from conventional Level 1 and Level 2 driver assistance systems found today, to fully self-driving Level 5 vehicles.
“The idea [with the Snapdragon digital chassis] is an opportunity to find economies of scale in the car platform, allowing OEMs to be able to scale very quickly, “said Nakul Dougal of Qualcomm during a conversation with reporters.” To be able to create a reference platform with a partner like BMW, which extending from entry-level cars to luxury cars on a global scale, is synonymous with what many automakers need. ”
This platform will include the overall reference architecture, sensor specifications and safety requirements, the company said, and will benefit from more than 1,400 professionals working around the world, including the BMW Autonomous Driving Test Center in the Czech Republic, Arriver engineers in Sweden. , Germany and the US, as well as Qualcomm employees in South Korea and India, among others. The investments made by the three companies will benefit the entire autonomous driving ecosystem, Dougal said, in terms of the time saved to bring the technology to market.
BMW’s senior vice president of driving experience, Martin Martin, said during the conversation that technology could also find its way into Mini and Rolls-Royce cars, but the project would not be limited to BMW brands. As part of the announcement, Qualcomm, BMW and Arriver said they “remain open to further partnerships.”
