Qualcomm’s chips are already used in many mobile phones and cars. Now, Google’s Android operating system will work with Qualcomm’s chips in cars. Qualcomm stated that this partnership will allow carmakers to create unique voice assistants that don’t need a driver’s phone.

“Typically, we have operated together, but independently we decided that we should think about this because it will reduce a lot of friction and confusion,” said Nakul Duggal, Qualcomm‘s automotive group manager during the Snapdragon Summit on Tuesday.
