Qualcomm’s New Chipset Will Change The Way You Drive

Exciting times lie ahead for car drivers as Qualcomm, the popular mobile chipset maker from San Diego, USA, is working with global car manufacturers to give you an experience of a lifetime in future cars. After the smartphones and smart TV sets, your car is also going to become super smart with Qualcomm automobile chipsets.

Announced at CES this year, Qualcomm is working on car technologies that will enable things such as facial recognition and in-car Wi-Fi hotspot. They have developed the Snapdragon 602A processor and chipset family especially for cars. This new-age chipset will allow auto makers to enable the following in their cars:

· In-car Wi-Fi hot spots for connectivity on the road.
· Up to 3 touch screens that can deliver independent content like games and movies for fewer backseat battles during long (or short) trips.
· Streaming movies, music and more to any of those screens.
· Advanced navigation that doesn’t rely on your smartphone.
· Bluetooth integration so all your devices can connect to your car.
· Through Miracast screen sharing, your car and your mobile devices become a seamless ecosystem and can share audio.
· Automatic crash notification and advanced car diagnostics.
· Sophisticated, flexible display-based instrumentation.

These and much more is possible if the technology comes through. Check out the video released by Qualcomm which showcases the new automotive technology.
