Car maker Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) is extending its collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies to bring 5G capabilities to select next-generation Range Rover, Defender, Discovery and Jaguar vehicles.
JLR and Qualcomm have worked together for the last five years on integrated digital cockpit and infotainment systems for JLR’s new vehicles and is now adding the Snapdragon Auto 5G Modem-RF for V2X links.
This will be used for low latency V2X links, connecting with nearby vehicles, generating real-time data that can inform new connected-car services and providing higher levels of autonomy.
The Snapdragon Auto 5G Modem-RF is a key component of the Snapdragon Digital Chassis technology suite, and JLR vehicles with 5G connectivity based on this can be expected on the road in 2025. That means the integration is pretty much complete as the vehicles will need to be tested through next year.
