CES 2018: New Chips From Qualcomm Point to the Future of Computing

Nakul Duggal, Qualcomm's vice president of product management, sticks his head into a Cadillac SUV and points up at a gaping rectangular hole in the ceiling. A hole in this ceiling is hardly remarkable: the whole car looks like a bomb went off inside. Seats face the wrong direction, and wires dangle from places you didn't even know there were wires. A few feet away, two more cars--a Ford and a Maserati--sit in roughly the same condition. Qualcomm made its name, and fortune, in smartphones.
