Overview
Autotalks was a fabless V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) semiconductor company based in Kfar Netter, Israel, pioneering purpose-built chipsets for vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication to improve road safety and enable autonomous driving. Founded in 2008, the company raised approximately 110M USD from strategic investors including Qualcomm, Toyota, Samsung, Hyundai, and Foxconn. Qualcomm completed its acquisition of Autotalks in June 2025 for less than 100M USD, well below the 350-400M USD originally discussed, after an initial 2023 deal collapsed due to regulatory hurdles. Autotalks V2X technology has been integrated into Qualcomm Snapdragon Digital Chassis portfolio.
