Qualcomm and Hyundai partners for PBV Infotainment

Qualcomm and Hyundai Motor announced their partnership for Snapdragon Automotive Cockpit Platforms in the infotainment system for its purpose-built vehicles. This collaboration will allow Hyundai Motors to access Qualcomm’s new automotive technologies.

The two companies have been working together since 2011 to provide a new in-vehicle mobile communications experience based on Snapdragon Automotive Connectivity Platforms. It has integrated solutions for connected car design, including features such as location services, emergency calls, noise reduction, and dual SIM capability.

“Qualcomm Technologies has been a trusted technology partner in the automotive industry for over 20 years, with leading automakers looking to Qualcomm Technologies for our leadership, innovation, and expertise,” said O.H. Kwon, Senior Vice President and President of Asia-Pacific (APAC). “We are excited to work with Hyundai Motor Group on PBV to provide digital in-vehicle experiences powered by the Snapdragon Automotive Cockpit platform.”

PBVs allow passengers to enjoy tailored services while traveling to their destinations. Upon personalization, PBVs can function as a restaurant, coffee shop, and hotel, or even a clinic and pharmacy, in addition to an urban shuttle.
