Press Release, 9 September 2025
Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. and Valeo announced an expanded partnership to bring smarter and safer cars to the global market.
Their goal is to offer auto manufacturers a ready-to-use system for Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Automated Driving (AD). This solution combines Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Ride computing hardware and software with Valeo’s expertise in sensors, parking software, and vehicle control units.
Together, they provide a pre-integrated platform featuring:
- Vehicle features like hands-free driving, automated parking, driver and passenger monitoring
- Built-in systems designed to earn 5-star safety ratings from New Car Assessment Programs (NCAP)
The platform also supports a wide variety of vehicle designs—from basic models to high-end, software-defined architectures. The Snapdragon Ride Flex chip even combines ADAS and infotainment into one efficient system.
“Our longstanding collaboration with Valeo continues to evolve as we jointly address the growing demand for best-in-class scalable, safety-centric ADAS and Automated Driving solutions,” said Nakul Duggal, Group GM of Automotive & Industrial and Embedded IoT, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. “By combining our Snapdragon Ride solutions with Valeo’s proven system expertise in parking solutions, sensors and system integration, we’re enabling automakers to accelerate innovation and bring next generation driving experiences to market faster and more efficiently.“
“This relationship builds on years of successful collaboration between Valeo and Qualcomm Technologies,” said Marc Vrecko, CEO, Valeo Brain. “Together, we are delivering a full system solution that integrates best-in-class hardware, software, and system expertise – empowering automakers with a flexible, future-ready platform that meets the evolving expectations of drivers worldwide.“
