Automobile industry heavyweight Daimler, together with mobile technology giant Qualcomm are now teaming up to create new in-car technology.
The details of such technology however is not yet completely known at the moment, but they are presumed to be closely related to recharging technology for automobiles.
The two companies are reportedly at work trying to determine how wireless technology may be used for the purpose of charging electric vehicles, and plug-in hybrids, according to NDTV.
If the two can succeed with their plans, they may be successful in utilizing wireless technology to effectively take out plugs from the charging equation.
Aside from wireless technology that could make electric cars easier to use, the two are also rumored to be working on a technology that could be used to facilitate cable-less charging for mobile phones even when inside cars.
Qualcomm is working with Daimler on its Wireless Power Transfer 2.0 designed for electric vehicles. In order to complete the project, the two parties will utilize Qualcomm's Halo WVEC technology in their attempt to introduce wireless charging for vehicles a reality, according to Daimler.
WiPower Technology is also expected be used for the purposes of pioneering the wireless charging for mobile phones that the two companies are looking to implement within cars.
The partnership could even lead to high speed 3G and 4G connectivity making their way to automobiles, according to Reuters.
Thomas Weber, Daimler's board member for research and development, commented on the new ventures being undertaken by the two companies.
"It's important that we remain on the cutting edge of technology and continue to deliver unparalleled experiences to our customers," said Weber.
Daimler has been known for producing vehicles equipped with state-of-the-art technology fully implemented within them. It is not far-fetched that this latest partnership with Qualcomm is likely to succeed.
Both Qualcomm and Daimler are also working on developing intelligently-connected cars that can function emission-free.
