Bosch and Qualcomm Expand Collaboration to Strategic ADAS Solutions

Bosch and Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. announced recently that they are expanding their strategic partnership, which has focused on vehicle computers for cockpit solutions, to also include ADAS solutions. Together, Bosch and Qualcomm Technologies are helping address one of the industry’s most pressing needs – scaling intelligent vehicle technology to meet growing consumer demand for vehicles that are automated, connected and highly personalized. The companies also highlighted a significant milestone in their longstanding collaboration – Bosch has developed and delivered more than 10 million vehicle computers based on Qualcomm Technologies’ Snapdragon Cockpit Platforms for the global automotive market. “By combining leading-edge compute technology with our system integration expertise – hardware, software, and safety – we enable automakers to meet the rising demand for personalized, safe, and comfortable driving experiences,” said Christoph Hartung, Member of the Bosch Mobility business sector board, Chief Technology Officer for Systems, Software, and Services, and President of the division Cross-Domain Computing Solutions. “The growing success of our collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies underlines a central value Bosch brings to the industry – we provide the robust, high-performance computing platforms that form the backbone of today’s software-defined vehicle,” said Christoph Hartung, Member of the Bosch Mobility business sector board, Chief Technology Officer for Systems, Software, and Services, and President of the division Cross-Domain Computing Solutions. “Our collaboration with Bosch spans the full spectrum of vehicle compute – from highperformance cockpit systems to scalable automated driving solutions and emerging centralized vehicle architectures – all powered by Snapdragon® Digital Chassis™ automotive platforms,” said Nakul Duggal, EVP and Group GM, Automotive, Industrial and Embedded IoT, and Robotics, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. “ADAS is where performance and safety must scale in the real world. By expanding our work with Bosch into production-ready ADAS platforms, we’re helping automakers bring advanced driver assistance across vehicle lines more efficiently, with a clear path to centralized compute,” said Nakul Duggal, EVP and Group GM, Automotive, Industrial and Embedded IoT, and Robotics, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. Building on this momentum, the companies are extending their collaboration through new ADAS production programs. These programs leverage Bosch’s cost optimized vehicle computer architecture, powered by Qualcomm Technologies’ Snapdragon Ride™ platform, to support practical and scalable ADAS deployments. The collaboration also includes purpose built combined cockpit and ADAS platforms supporting mixed criticality applications delivered on a single system-on-chip, unique to Snapdragon Ride™ Flex SoCs, aligning with automakers’ software-defined vehicle strategic initiatives. At the core of these programs is the Bosch ADAS integration platform – a scalable, modular vehicle computer designed for ADAS functions. With high bandwidth, computing power, and memory management, it meets strict safety and security standards, fuses multiple sensor technologies for a precise 360° environment model, and runs complex algorithms to deliver safe, dynamic vehicle behavior – even at high speeds. The Next Frontier: Jointly Engineering the Future of ADAS Bosch and Qualcomm Technologies’ joint approach is delivering scalable, cost-optimized vehicle computers with ADAS solutions that have secured multiple global customer design wins in the East Asian market. These joint efforts provide automakers with critical flexibility and a clear migration path to centralized computing architectures featuring a small number of highly powerful vehicle computers instead of many individual control units. Powered by the scalable Snapdragon Ride Platform from Qualcomm Technologies, Bosch´s vehicle computers support for a broad range of configurations – from entry-level ADAS, such as speed and distance regulation or lane keeping, to advanced automated driving systems. The first vehicles from these new business wins are expected on the road in 2028. In addition, ADAS and cockpit solutions can also be consolidated onto a single platform to give automakers even greater flexibility and reduce architectural complexity. To this end, Bosch and Qualcomm Technologies are also working on solutions using existing products: Snapdragon Ride™ Flex builds on this foundation by enabling the consolidation of cockpit and ADAS functions onto a single, safety-certifiable SoC, reducing system complexity, power consumption, and cost while giving automakers a path toward centralized compute architectures. Bosch’s cockpit and ADAS integration platform combines the system functions for assisted and automated driving and infotainment like personalized navigation and voice assistance functions in one high-performance computer. Both the ADAS and cross-domain computing solutions are designed to meet stringent safety requirements (up to ASIL-D) while reducing complexity and cost. For drivers, this means greater access to advanced Level 2 driving features like lane keeping, hands-free driving, and intelligent automated parking. A Story of Successful Collaboration: Defining the Modern Digital Cockpit The collaboration between Bosch and Qualcomm Technologies is re-defining the modern digital cockpit by serving the full spectrum of both the regional and global automotive market across North America, Asia and Europe. This approach has driven exponential growth since first deliveries began in 2021, scaling from one million units in 2023 to ten million in less than three years, fueled by successful program awards with vehicle manufacturers worldwide. The delivery milestone underscores the companies’ shared ability to industrialize advanced automotive technologies at global scale for the software-defined vehicle era, spanning entry-level to premium vehicles. The success is rooted in Bosch’s flexible and scalable approach, leveraging Snapdragon Cockpit Platforms. The Bosch cockpit integration platform can drive an increasing number of in-vehicle displays and camera inputs Qualcomm Technologies’ Snapdragon Cockpit Platforms combine high-performance compute with power-efficient design to enable a wide range of vehicle experiences. That includes crisp, essential displays in cost-optimized systems up to premium systems featuring ultra-low-latency HMI responsiveness, multi-display configurations, immersive multimedia, AI-powered conversational voice assistance, and higher levels of personalization – while maintaining efficiency across vehicle segments.

Gunnebo Entrance Control Supports Secure Movement at UBS Office in India

Gunnebo Entrance Control has partnered with UBS at multiple sites across India to deliver security solutions designed to support controlled and reliable movement within an upgraded commercial office environment. The UBS offices regularly experience busy periods, particularly at the start and end of the working day. The company needed a solution that could handle high volumes of people without causing queues or delays, while still meeting internal security requirements. Based on the specification, Gunnebo Entrance Control installed more than 58 lanes of Revosec and Revolite full-height turnstiles in a phased approach across Kharadi, Gigaplex and Mumbai sites. These form the main entrance control system and are now the primary way access is managed. The installation creates a secure outer boundary while allowing large numbers of employees and visitors to pass through smoothly each day. This prevents unauthorised access while keeping the flow of authorised staff steady, even during peak times. Says Aniket Mathapati, Security Systems Manager, India at UBS, “We worked closely with the team at Gunnebo Entrance Control to minimise disruption and keep the building fully operational during installation. The combination of full-height turnstiles and SpeedStile units gives us a clear and reliable way to manage entry. The systems work well within our existing security setup and help maintain smooth movement through the building.” Two SpeedStile FP 1800 BA units were installed at internal access points. These help manage movement within the building and support a consistent experience beyond the main perimeter entrance. Since installation, the entrance control systems have become a routine part of daily operations. The 58 plus lanes of full-height turnstiles handle most access at the site and are built to withstand constant use. Together with the internal SpeedStile units, they provide a layered approach to security that balances control with practicality. Read More
