Less is more: Neta to use all-in-one Snapdragon Ride Flex SoCs by 2025; built in partnership with Qualcomm, Autolink

Neta Auto, Qualcomm, and AutoLink have unveiled the Snapdragon Ride Flex (SA8775P) cockpit-to-drive fusion platform globally, ahead of the carmaker's plans to produce vehicles with the platform within the second quarter (Q2) of 2025.

Compared to existing cockpit fusion systems, the Snapdragon Ride Flex uniquely supports both digital cockpits and intelligent driving functions through a single system-on-a-chip (SoC).

Meaning ADAS and autonomous driving can exist on a single chip; theoratically this should be good for cost-savings and also reduces manufacturing complexity.

It offers powerful performance in CPU, GPU, and NPU (neural processing unit, used for AI tools) processing, supporting various complex intelligent cockpit functions like immersive 3D real-time rendering, 8K ultra-high-definition displays, and low-latency sound effects.

The chip is only one story out of a few announcements by Neta at the ongoing Beijing International Auto Show. They've also launched the new Neta L SUV which includes its own generative AI tool, the Neta GPT.

Neta Malaysia is currently only represented by the RM 100k Neta V, though more sophisticated models like the Neta S, and Neta GT are on sale in China.
