RE: Qualcomm, Google, and Renault Group Partner to Bring Immersive In-Vehicle Experiences8 Sep 2021 12:24
What Else is Happening at IAA Mobility 2021?
As mentioned in earlier coverage of this event, one thing is for certain: this week at IAA Mobility 2021 is showcasing that semiconductors, software, and connectivity are definitely the future of the automotive industry.
On the first day of the IAA Mobility 2021, Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger announced a partnership between Intel subsidiary Mobileye and Luminar, a Lidar technology company, which will add new capabilities to Mobileye’s self-driving fleet. Gelsinger also unveiled a 6-passenger road-ready electric autonomous vehicle for commercial ride-hailing services which will be launched in Tel Aviv and Munich starting in 2022. I covered these announcements in greater detail here: IAA Mobility 2021: Luminar and Intel Mobile Partner on Robotaxi Service.
In sum, there are some exciting things ahead for the automotive industry, specifically electrical vehicles. As we know, in about a decade our roadways will primarily be filled with electric vehicles so it’s good to see Qualcomm, Google, and Renault partner to bring immersive experiences to these vehicles now. I expect to see similar partnerships from Intel, Qualcomm, and other automotive manufactures moving forward.
