Qualcomm bets on car-to-car communication tech in India
India’s transport and infrastructure network gives Qualcomm an important opening to build vehicle-to-everything (V2X) safety technology directly into new roads, according to a senior company executive, as the chipmaker pushes to diversify beyond its traditional smartphone business.
“The cost of making highways capable of V2X is not very high. One can deploy the same technology in streetlight and other road infrastructure, etc. So making it available, especially for new highways that are getting deployed, is very straightforward,” Nakul Duggal, Qualcomm’s Group General Manager for Automotive, Industrial & Embedded IoT said in an interaction with Fe.
