Today, car manufacturing companies and companies inventing wireless technologies must work together to merge their expertise so as to produce a unique final product. If you want vehicles that are equipped with wireless technology, a disciplined teamwork can help achieve the dream. This demand gave birth to a deal between Qualcomm Inc. (QCOM, Financial) and Daimler AG (DDAIF, Financial) to develop connected vehicles. This partnership will let you enjoy cellular information and wireless car charging on the go. One day, you may be driving an electric vehicle that is always online without the need of plugging in.
Key points collaborated between Daimler and Qualcomm
Nowadays, stringent emission rules are being enforced to keep air pollution to the minimum. With such sternness, car makers are compelled to give a second thought to their manufacturing design. Engines, once a keystone of profit, must be downsized according to the recent rules. This step has enraged car makers such as Daimler, Audi (VLKAY, Financial), and BMW (BAMXY, Financial) to possess knowledge in telecommunications and software so that they can emerge as high technology car manufacturers in this era.
Thus, Daimler entered into a partnership with Qualcomm Technologies Inc., a functioning unit of Qualcomm Inc. The deal will work on exploring the wireless recharging methodologies of cellular devices in vehicles as well as recharging of electric vehicles without the need of cables. Qualcomm and Daimler jointly released a statement that they are evaluating the methods to apply wireless technology so as to charge electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles without the need to plug in.
In the first step, the companies will keep an eye at metamorphosing future cars with unique mobile technologies, incorporating best speed 4G/3G Internet connectivity on the go, wireless charging of mobile phones, and execution of the Qualcomm’s WEVC (Wireless electric vehicle charging) technique. WEVC technique will help the customers in charging their vehicles accompanied with the best performance level. Wireless Power Transfer 2.0 is also being assessed by Daimler as it helps in further boosting the performance of electric vehicles. Qualcomm has also invented a technology called Wi-Power that will help in charging other electronic items wirelessly.
Also, automotive solutions have been developed by Qualcomm Technology. This application is also being assessed by the two companies. In-car experience will be boosted by such joint directions taken by these companies. Daimler’s member in research and development sector, Thomas Weber said that it is indispensable to know the current trends and requirements of the customers and provide best experiences to clients. Technology is ever advancing, and it is necessary to be at the cutting edge in cutthroat competition.
Final thoughts
This strategic deal will help the automotive sector in creating an innovative landscape equipped with convenience, entertainment, connectivity, safety and efficiency. Nowadays, customers are expecting a number of intelligent methodologies to be incorporated in their vehicles. The technology must be secure and comfortable to the clients. Thus, the move is intended to deliver intelligently governed vehicles with negligible emissions.
The president of Qualcomm Inc., Derek Aberle, stated the deal with Qualcomm as an addition to the support being offered to MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team.
As recorded in April 2015, Daimler profits soared upwards by 41% owing to marvellous sales over the rivals. Earned Revenue has jumped by 16 percent. The revenues earned by Qualcomm are bound to rise with the application of its technologies by big car makers.
