#204 - Anshuman Saxena - Head of AD/ADAS, Qualcomm Technologies

IN_ Automotive Podcast

Electric Vehicles might look and drive like normal cars, but scratch beneath the surface and you will realise that they are fundamentally different at an architectural level.

With the modern car being so much more than merely its mechanicals, I learnt that digital architecture in cars is a thing. The hardware - system on chip, or SoCs, processors and screens, combined with the software - the operating system, middleware and applications bring to life so many elements of the modern car that we take for granted.

I wanted to learn more about how these elements of the vehicle’s digital architecture work together, and so I invited Anshuman Saxena on the AI in Automotive Podcast. Anshuman is the Head of ADAS/Autonomous Driving at Qualcomm Technologies. He opens up the software-defined vehicle’s digital architecture for us, and introduces us to the Snapdragon Ride Platform. We talk about the platform’s potential to accelerate the development and deployment of autonomous driving technologies, and the direction this space is headed in, in the near future.
If you like my conversation with Anshuman, do head over to the AI in Automotive Podcast on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and give us a thumbs up. Do share our show with your friends and colleagues who are excited by all things automotive.
