Samsung is one of the biggest technology companies in the world. It is popularly known for its consumer electronics division, which manufactures televisions, refrigerators or mobile phones, but the activities of the South Korean company go much further, from the construction of buildings to the creation of ships. and maritime navigation instruments.
One of the few businesses the company has yet to enter is in the automotive industry, beyond creating processors for vehicles. But that could be starting to change as it looks like a possible collaboration with Tesla is brewing, according to Reuters.
Tesla and Samsung meet at the highest level
Apparently, last Wednesday, Samsung CEO Jay Y. Lee met with Tesla CEO Elon Musk to discuss possible future collaborations in high-tech industries, taking advantage of a Korean executive’s trip to the States. -United.
The two companies hope to find ways to work together to develop products related to their respective fields, such as creating semiconductors for self-driving vehicles.
Tesla has invested large sums of money in this technology, and in recent years we have seen progress, but none of this is possible without the necessary hardware, and this is where Samsung could help because it is one of the few companies in the world that not only designs its own processors, but is also able to manufacture them, something key in a context like the current one, as we have seen in recent days with the OPPO movement.
The fact that the meeting took place between Elon Musk and Jay Y. Lee, the two top managers of the two companies, clearly shows that expectations are very high for the two companies, which in the context of a move away from China could strengthen their respective positions.
And the laptops?
The announcement of the meeting by Samsung, according to Reuters, remains there, but one wonders if, in the event that the discussions would go further, one could see a certain integration of Tesla within Samsung mobiles.
The Korean firm has collaborations with brands such as Microsoft, which pre-install their applications on the Galaxy, but it does not have any in the world with car manufacturers.

The free Android
A few days ago we told you that Android already allows storing the digital keys of certain vehicles, and this could be transferred to Samsung models, which are integrated with Tesla. It wouldn’t be the first to do so since the Nothing Phone (1) already showed integration with Tesla cars at the system level last year.
Right now it’s just speculation, but it could position the Galaxy as the default Android phone when it comes to syncing with Tesla cars.
