Qualcomm is a major player in the world of wireless communication. They design semiconductors, the brains of many mobile devices, and hold patents on foundational technologies behind 4G and 5G networks. Beyond processors, Qualcomm is innovating in artificial intelligence for automotive, putting them at the forefront of these technological advancements. This positions Qualcomm not just as a mobile tech giant, but a key player in the ever- evolving landscape of global connectivity.
Snapdragon Ride™ Platform System on Chips (SoCs)
Snapdragon Ride™ is a powerful and scalable platform supporting Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Autonomous Driving (AD) systems. It delivers a range of performance levels to suit various vehicle types, from basic safety features to extensive automation features requiring extensive sensors.
The platform is built on cutting-edge technology and includes a rich software ecosystem and tools supporting vision, parking, and driver monitoring. Snapdragon Ride also supports combining critical and non-critical functions on a single chip, simplifying vehicle architecture. These SoCs not only address the increasing complexity and computational demands of the automotive industry’s evolving zonal electronic/electrical (E/E) architecture, but they also provide a homogenous solution that serves as a central hub for high- performance compute, computer vision, AI and multi-sensor processing that help meet the high safety standards of the automotive industry – all while harmonizing functionality with software implementations to help address the compute, performance, and safety needs for that zone or domain.
With SoCs designed for systems up to ASIL D, this provides the flexibility of using a single SoC for New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) Level 1 ADAS systems and Level 2 automation systems, as well as enhancing the performance of combined ADAS SoCs and AI accelerators for up to a Level 4 automated system.
Snapdragon and Qualcomm branded products are products of Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. and/or its subsidiaries.

SAFERTOS® For Qualcomm
SAFERTOS®, a certified safety RTOS, runs on a dedicated hardware and software partition (safety island) within the chip on the Arm Cortex R52 cores. This ensures reliable performance of critical driving features while maintaining efficient processing for other tasks on the chip. SAFERTOS® is compliant with the Qualcomm® Board Support Package (BSP), eliminating the need for complex configuration or driver development. This translates to significant time savings and faster prototyping for your engineering team. To see how we can help your development, contact us today.
