Qualcomm Technologies and MapmyIndia have announced a technology collaboration to deliver automotive connectivity solutions and connected services for the four-wheel (4W) and two-wheeler (2W) segments.
The partnership aims to support the ‘Make in India’ initiative for the automotive sector. MapmyIndia will use Qualcomm Technologies’ Snapdragon Auto Connectivity Platform to develop telematics tailored for Indian auto makers, which will enable OEMs to offer high-quality yet affordable connectivity in mid-tier and low-tier vehicles.
Additionally, MapmyIndia will integrate Snapdragon Car-to-Cloud Services with its MAPPLS automotive services to create an SDV framework, driving device and cloud services for 2W, 4W and commercial vehicles that use Snapdragon Digital Chassis solutions. The single platform and common interface are aimed at helping manage device, data, maps, navigation and services.
With this integrated solution, MapmyIndia will scale, customize and bring the necessary applications and application programming interfaces (APIs) to enhance the end-to-end services experience.
“Our work with Qualcomm Technologies allows us to bring affordable, state-of-the-art telematics solutions to a broader segment of vehicles. This will enhance the driving experience for Indian consumers by enabling features that were previously available only in premium vehicles,” said Rakesh Verma, CMD and founder, MapmyIndia.
Savi Soin, senior vice president and president of Qualcomm India, added, “This technology collaboration combines both companies’ expertise to provide world-class automotive solutions that are designed to help auto makers accelerate time to market, reduce costs and deliver better value and experiences to their customers in India as well as globally.”
