Trimble Inc. (TRMB) saw a modest 0.5% rise as markets opened Monday following news of an extended collaboration with Qualcomm Inc. (QCOM) to deliver high-precision positioning solutions for autonomous vehicles. 

Qualcomm’s stock also rose, gaining 2% during the session.

The partnership integrates Trimble’s ProPoint Go positioning engine with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Auto 5G Modem-RF Gen 2, part of the Snapdragon Digital Chassis platform. 

This system promises positioning accuracy within 10 centimeters, supporting Level 2+ autonomous driving and paving the way for Level 3 and beyond, enhancing advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) capabilities.

The first vehicles equipped with the joint solution are expected to debut by 2028, with Tier-1 suppliers and automakers able to integrate the technology for enhanced safety and automation. 

The collaboration combines Trimble’s expertise in global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) and Qualcomm’s advanced chipsets, marking a significant milestone for the automated driving ecosystem, according to the company. 

Despite the announcement, retail sentiment on Stocktwits remained neutral for both tickers on Monday morning. 

Investors may be taking a cautious approach as the partnership's financial and market impact is long-term, tied to 2028 rollouts and future adoption rates.
