Qualcomm looks ahead to looming age of autonomous cars
Qualcomm, long the world’s largest vendor of smartphone chips, is looking ahead to the looming age of autonomous cars and entering the ring against rivals Intel and Nvidia. The San Diego, California-based company last month rolled out its first supercomputer for cars, called Snapdragon Ride. It can be used to handle all sorts of functions from lane departure alerts and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) to full self-driving cars.
