Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. has announced it is working with Red Hat, a leading provider of open source solutions, to bring functional-safety certified (ASIL-B) Linux-based operating systems to next generation vehicles that utilize Snapdragon® Digital Chassis™ platforms — a set of open and scalable cloud-connected platforms designed for automotive telematics and connectivity, digital cockpit, and advanced driver assistance. Utilizing Red Hat In-Vehicle Operating Systems with Snapdragon Digital Chassis Platforms, automakers may help advance the development of software-defined vehicles, as well as help accelerate the deployment of new cloud connected digital services, creating new opportunities for deeper customer engagement and services-based business models that are designed to be updateable throughout the lifetime of the vehicle via the cloud.
Additionally, automakers will have the opportunity to redefine driving experiences for their customers through more seamless connectivity and increased intelligence needed for safer, smarter and more immersive experiences.
