‎AMagna, with a capitalization of market of $25.3 billion compared to $164.8 billion for Qualcomm, did not even submit a counterproposal. The Veoneer will pay the Magna a “split fee” of $110 million. The deal is expected to close next year.‎

‎SSW Partners said it would sell Arriver technology from Veoneer

, which is an advanced driver assistance system stack that includes sensors and ‎‎software,‎ ‎for the Qualcomm and that it would maintain other business from the Swedish company’s Level 1 suppliers.‎

‎A Qualcomm, which is known for making ‘chipsets’ for smartphones, is looking for new avenues to profit beyond mobile-related chips . With the advancement of automotive technology and increasing demand, this seems to be the main target of the company.‎

‎It already supplies chips that power communication and infotainment systems in cars and now intends to expand its reach in driver assistance technology. Last year, Qualcomm has partnered with Veoneer to form Arriver and began developing driving technology aimed at hitting the road in 2024.‎
