‘Robots are going to be amongst us’: Qualcomm exec says buckle up for the next 5 years. Your car is going to be the first shoe to drop

The U.S. semiconductor giant best known for designing the mobile processors that power most of the world’s smartphones recently announced it would take on Nvidia and AMD in making AI chips. As Qualcomm expands its product portfolio and transforms its culture, Nakul Duggal, the company’s former auto and smart products chief, says AI will usher in a new era for robotics.
