- The goal is to introduce multimodal and hybrid (edge-to-cloud) artificial intelligence in cars.
- Hybrid architecture combines on-device AI with the cloud.
- Faster time-to-market thanks to an optimized reference architecture.
Qualcomm Technologies and Google Cloud are expanding their partnership to enable automakers to build and deploy a new generation of multimodal AI agents in and around vehicles. The collaboration combines Google Cloud’s Automotive AI Agent — powered by Gemini models — with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Digital Chassis platform, orchestrating on-device and cloud inference for low-latency responsiveness and deep, continuously updated capabilities. Automakers receive a robust toolkit and reference architecture to shorten development time, moving beyond simple commands toward branded, conversational, and highly personalized experiences. The joint solution allows automakers to differentiate themselves as software-defined vehicles become the norm.
Qualcomm financial situation

Looking at recent quarters, Qualcomm’s results are satisfactory, especially considering its relatively attractive market valuation.

Nevertheless, Qualcomm shares have not been in the spotlight for investors lately. Returns over the past six months are significantly below those of Alphabet and the US100 index.
