ccording to a Reuters report on August 18, the European Commission pointed out that this deal is important for original equipment manufacturers and other companies that need access to vehicle-to-everything (V2X) semiconductors, and Qualcomm must obtain EU antitrust approval before completing the deal, including Fifteen EU countries, including France, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain and Sweden, have asked it to review the deal.
The European Commission said in a statement: "This transaction will bring together two major V2X semiconductor suppliers in the European Economic Area (EEA). key to the car. Therefore, it is important to ensure that customers such as OEMs or infrastructure managers have access to V2X technology at competitive prices and terms."
It is reported that Qualcomm announced in May this year that it will acquire Autotalks, which produces dedicated chips for vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication technology for manned and unmanned vehicles to improve road safety.
Qualcomm said in a statement at the time, "Since 2017, we have been investing in V2X research, development and deployment, and believe that as the automotive market matures, independent V2X safety architectures will be required to enhance the safety of road users and intelligent transportation systems."
About Qualcomm:
Billions, maybe trillions of times a day we often do what many thought was impossible. That’s how often people around the world touch something made better by Qualcomm. It could be the smartphone in your pocket, the tablet on your coffee table, that wireless modem in your briefcase, it could even be that navigation system in your car or that action camera strapped to your chest.
Who is Qualcomm, and what do they do? They are engineers, scientists, and business strategists. They are from many different countries and speak many different languages. They come from diverse cultures and have unique perspectives. Together, they focus on a single goal—invent mobile technology breakthroughs. As the world’s industries evolve, so do the connections enabled through our wireless and computing solutions. By helping homes, cars, cities, education, wearables, and healthcare share more interactions and data across a variety of networks, we’re weaving the fabric of the Internet of Things so that entire industries can redefine what’s possible.
