Not true, only QC takes ADAS solution like this.. to ask auto customers , nobody needs to run ADAS ai model at Cloud.

I am not with cloud BU, but I understand why they put cloud and AI under Auto BU. Adas and Autonomous Driving need cloud computing, like next generation SLAM, which relies more on cloud AI computing and less on expensive HD map. So I don’t foresee cloud BU would get a heavy cut.

No layoffs in auto group. Growth area. Perfectly safe. Sleep well.

The Auto BU gets credit for products built primarily on the backs of the mobile BU teams. Good luck maintaining an auto business after laying off large numbers of people in the mobile BU. People fail to realize that most of the core technology for auto products was developed by the mobile BU and continues to be maintained free of charge by people paid out of the mobile BU budget.

Auto itself is in good shape, however there is a small BU(Cloud) which is under Nakul , for datacenter/edge AI accelerator business, it has zero sales in past 5 years, It's clearly a failed investment,will CA cut all of them? 100+ people.

Doubt they will reduce. If they do it will be in overseas contractors.

Auto plays nicely into EdgeAI market. Minimal cuts.
