Shifting into High Gear: Exploring Qualcomm’s Automotive Announcements with Nakul Duggal

On this episode of the Futurum Tech Podcast – Interview Series I am joined by Nakul Duggal, SVP and General Manager of Automotive at Qualcomm. Nakul leads the team that manages Qualcomm’s automotive strategy, the semiconductor and software portfolio, and the ecosystem development which includes partner relationships. With the explosive growth of electronic and autonomous vehicles, this is a very exciting part of the company to be involved in right now.   Our conversation covered several aspects around the changes in vehicle technology we’ve seen in the last few decades and what we can expect in 2021 as well as some exciting Qualcomm announcements. Check out my quick review below:   Qualcomm’s Automotive Announcements   My conversation with Nakul explored the following:   A quick look into the expansion of the Snapdragon Ride Platform.   How Qualcomm has partnered with Amazon to bring Alexa technology into its Snapdragon Automotive Systems.   Why partnering with legacy automotive companies like GM makes a difference for Qualcomm.   What the Digital Cockpit experience will be like for consumers now that it is integrated with Alexa.   Bringing 5G into the automotive space through different aspects of the portfolio.   There is so much opportunity for growth in the automotive space and I am eager to see where these announcements from Qualcomm take us this year and beyond.   If you’d like to learn more about Qualcomm’s automotive announcements be sure to read the recap from my colleague Olivier Blanchard: Qualcomm’s Automotive Sector Strategy Shifts Into High Gear This Week With A Bevy Of Announcements   Disclaimer: This show is for information and entertainment purposes only.
