St Germain en Laye, November 4th 2024.
Qualcomm says its next-gen tech will allow automakers to develop software-defined vehicles and AI-based features more quickly.
Qualcomm and its automotive partners will create software to enable what they call an AI-driven « digital life” in vehicles. This includes innovations like zonal audio, which will personalize audio for each occupant of the car, improving privacy and personalization. For example, safety alerts like lane departure warnings will be directed exclusively to the driver, while passengers in the back will be able to enjoy undisturbed audio from movies or games.
The car’s AI will also listen and respond to individual requests. If a passenger says, “I’m cold,” the system will adjust the temperature in that specific zone, providing tailored comfort. Likewise, it will anticipate preferences, sensing outside conditions to proactively suggest, “It’s a sunny day. Would you like your sunroof open?” »
Qualcomm also showed off a concept for a semi-autonomous vehicle that can determine when there is no parking available near a destination and offer to drop drivers off and pick them up later at their door. Of course, we’ll have to wait for fully autonomous cars for this feature to become available.
