Unreal Engine will be in cars: Qualcomm and Epic Games promote Snapdragon Cockpit platform

Qualcomm and Epic Games have announced the historic deployment of Unreal Engine on the Snapdragon Cockpit platform for vehicles. However, this initiative isn't focused on gaming, but rather on enhancing in-car infotainment systems and user experiences.

By utilizing Unreal Engine, vehicles built on the Snapdragon Cockpit automotive platform will enable automakers to create stunning, efficient, and sleek user interfaces. This will also simplify the process for developers to design high-quality, scalable digital cockpit systems for various vehicles and displays.

The new human-machine interface platform powered by Unreal Engine is now available to developers. Thus, we can anticipate seeing more graphically-rich infotainment systems in cars in the near future.

Details on which automakers will be the first to offer their solutions on this platform and when they can be tested in production vehicles are still unclear.
