The companies said that their joint platform will seek to compete with the likes of Intel’s Mobileye.
Veoneer, which also makes radars and vision systems, said it had formed Arriver, a new dedicated software unit for the development of the complete perception and drive policy software stack.
“The agreement with Qualcomm Technologies and the creation of Arriver are key milestones in Veoneer’s development,” said Veoneer CEO Jan Carlson.
Veoneer said that Arriver software is already functional on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Ride Platform, and that it would become available to automotive customers in the coming months.
Veoneer has also said that the collaboration between the companies had been presented to a number of car manufacturers and Tier-1 automotive suppliers and that they had received 'very positive' feedback to the intended specifications and capabilities of the platform.
Veoneer will own 100% of Arriver, but the unit will operate under specific information handling protocols and reporting structures as part of its collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies.
