Car manufacturer Ford has chosen Qualcomm to help provide multimedia services for installation in its latest models.
The two companies will form a subsidiary, known as Wingcast, to develop navigation systems, anti-collision devices and mobile phones for the car industry.
Ford said it aimed to fit its technology into one million new vehicles such as pick-ups and cars by the end of 2002 and have general installation in all its models within four years.
