While big companies like BMW give up their vehicles such as USB, touch screen, seat heating and start-stop technologies, the efforts for innovations do not stop. However, the giant agreement from BMW and Qualcomm will move the stones.
German automobile company BMW’s net profit increased by approximately 223% last year to 12.5 billion Euros. Upon this good news, the auto company announced that it has made an agreement to further develop autonomous driving technology.
