- Qualcomm Inc on Tuesday said it will supply a range of chips for General Motors Co’s next generation of vehicles.The San Diego company has long been known for making modem chips that connected Apple Inc’s iPhones and many vehicles to cellular data networks. In recent years, Qualcomm has moved into automotive chips.

The companies also said GM will start integrating Qualcomm’s automated driver assistance system chips for features such as adaptive cruise control and lane-change assistance. “We look at this partnership as a very important foundation for what we would like to repeat really across various parts of the industry,” Nakul Duggal, senior vice president & general manager of automotive for Qualcomm Technologies, said in an interview with Reuters.
