Qualcomm, which entered the smart vehicle market with its Snapdragon Digital Cockpit and collaborated with several automakers, announced at the Munich International Motor Show in Germany the expansion of its smart cockpit design solutions to two-wheeled vehicles, with the launch of two designs: the QWM2290 and the QWS2290.
In this announcement, Qualcomm expanded its Snapdragon Digital Cockpit design to include two-wheeled electric or gasoline vehicles, as well as three-wheeled vehicles, e-bikes, scooters, three- or four-wheeled all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), and even two-wheeled shared vehicles. It also provides safety protection, digital entertainment, cloud services, and customized design, while also being able to connect with connected vehicles and smart city solutions.
Qualcomm also announced collaborations with Bosch, Cavli Wireless, Drover, Luna, MeiG, Quectel, SIMCom, Thundercomm, Valeo, and VVDN Technologies. Gogoro also announced a partnership with Qualcomm, aiming to expand the smart two-wheeler market application system by integrating with the PBGN Alliance vehicle ecosystem.
Currently, vehicle brands such as BMW and Acer have already built smart two-wheeled vehicle systems that integrate connected applications. Qualcomm's introduction of the Snapdragon digital cockpit design to the two-wheeled vehicle market is expected to further expand the intelligent applications of two-wheeled vehicles and the development momentum of the Internet of Vehicles.
The QWM2290 and QWS2290 are designed with the next-generation Snapdragon Digital Cockpit Intelligence Cluster, which includes low-battery status alerts, nearby charging station recommendations, and vehicle maintenance reminders. It also includes personalized real-time navigation to points of interest (POIs). Advanced safety features include speeding alerts, improperly tucked-in warnings, emergency services, anti-theft capabilities, and vehicle status monitoring.
By adopting Snapdragon 4G and 5G networking data chips, two-wheeled vehicles can use 4G, 5G, Wi-Fi, V2X vehicle networking application functions, and Bluetooth connection mode, and use security, personalization, digital entertainment and other functions with faster connection response speed, while ensuring stable and reliable connection.
In conjunction with Snapdragon cloud-connected digital services, brands and service providers can offer richer value-added services or innovative business models for two-wheeled vehicles. They can also remotely provide firmware updates, subscription services, remote vehicle problem diagnosis, anti-theft, location tracking, and even set up electronic fences and related management services for two-wheeled shared vehicles.
