Remarkable that SEE have such a relationship with QC as a qualified partner ....
At a time when most semiconductor manufacturers diverted supply to other industries, given the dwindled manufacturing and supply of vehicles due to COVID-19, it is required that semiconductor companies – currently largely catering to other industries – develop their capabilities in automotive and tap the existing opportunities in the market. Qualcomm is a supplier to both automakers and Tier 1 component makers.
While it aims to aggressively expand into the sector, it’s clear on its priorities and doesn’t want to level up as a Tier 1 in the supply chain, rather it wants to be what Android is to smartphones, i.e. an open platform provider, with qualified software partners, that can serve a large range of applications rather than developing its own software for each system.
