Mobileye

Mobileye is a company developing autonomous driving technologies and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), including cameras, computer chips, and software. The company uses purpose-built software and hardware technologies to develop solutions that include driver assist, cloud-enhanced driver assist, Mobileye SuperVision, Mobileye Chauffeur, Mobileye Drive, and self-driving systems and vehicles. Mobileye is based in Jerusalem, Israel, and has sales and marketing offices in Westbury, New York, US; Tokyo, Japan; and Düsseldorf, Germany.

Mobileye was acquired by Intel in 2017 for $15.3 billion dollars. The acquisition was seen as a way of giving Intel a foot into the automotive and computer vision market with Mobileye's portfolio of autonomous vehicle and computer vision technology. However, by 2021, Intel announced its intent to take Mobileye public after the autonomous driving solutions market slowed and as Intel's strategy shifted to an increased focus on the company's chip manufacturing. The IPO in 2022 brought Mobileye back to being a public company. Mobileye raised $861 million for Intel in its IPO, and Intel retained a controlling share of Mobileye.

Mobileye SuperVision is an advanced driver-assist system (ADAS) providing "hands-off" navigation capabilities of an autonomous vehicle and designed to work on various road types with typical driving functions. This includes features such as autonomous lane changing, highway and traffic jam assist, point-to-point automated navigation and adaptive cruise control, accelerating and decelerating to avoid collisions, front and rear collision avoidance, evasive maneuver assist, blind spot detection, and parking visualization and applications.

The EyeQ Kit is a software development kit (SDK) offered to OEMs to offer customers with different vehicle capabilities based on computer-vision capabilities, crowdsourced mapping, and RSS-based driving policies. This system can enable visualization, augmented-reality head-up display, and driver monitoring systems; allows automakers to develop advanced driving functions and parking applications; and supports human-machine interface and in-vehicle infotainment applications.

The EyeQ Kit also allows OEMs to introduce a vision-only Intelligent Speed Assist (ISA) solution, which has been certified for use in Europe and met new European Union General Safety Regulation standards, which automatically senses the speed limits in all new vehicle models without relying on third-party maps and GPS data. To achieve this, the system uses a camera that reads a speed limit of a road and communicates the necessary speed adjustments to the vehicle accordingly.

Mobileye also offers self-driving technology that is designed to be a safe and complete modular solution. The solution has been developed by Mobileye in partnership with Moovit, working to develop robotaxis that are safe, environmentally friendly, and affordable experiences for riders. The technology is based on perception systems, which are built to be redundant, built on two independent sub-systems composed of cameras, radars, and LiDARs. The system also uses a proprietary, constantly refreshed, and crowdsourced AV maps built to scale.

In 2023, Mobileye announced a new positioning on its autonomous vehicle technology, shelving a complete autonomous system until 2050, while continuing to focus on driver assistance systems.
