At GM, Chris was the driving force behind the EN-V urban mobility concept vehicles. The N in EN-V stands for Networked, and V2V and V2I communications are a critical part of making the whole idea of autonomous vehicles work. Qualcomm is one of the world's leading producers chips for mobile communications devices. There could be some very interesting times ahead for Chris and Qualcomm.
