history
The company was founded in 1999 by Ziv Aviram and Amnon Shashua and equips vehicles from Audi and BMW , among others . Other models are Hyundai i40 , Kia Optima , Opel Zafira and Opel Insignia .
Mobileye is the leading provider of software for driver assistance systems with more than 25 car manufacturers as partners. The next goal is to work with BMW to develop fully autonomous vehicles that are ready for series production , with the start of production planned for 2021. As of 2018, EyeQ4 is in use. The next generation EyeQ5 is planned to be introduced in 2020, with the EyeQ4 processors capable of performing 2.5 trillion arithmetic operations per second. With the processors of EyeQ5 the processing power is increased to 15 trillion arithmetic operations per second. Autonomous driving requires the merging of dozens of sensors, including high-resolution cameras, radar and lidar systems ( light detection and ranging ). The sensor fusion process must collect and process all sensor data at the same time. For this purpose, EyeQ5 modules support a data bandwidth of at least 40 Gbit / s. Additional sensors can be supported via PCI and Gigabit Ethernet ports with 18 Gbit / s additional data bandwidth.
Even Tesla used in the Model S Mobileye technology since the introduction of "autopilot" in August 2015. As a result of a fatal accident in the spring of 2016, the cooperation was, however completed.
On March 13, 2017, the US company Intel announced that it would take over Mobileye for a total of 15.3 billion US dollars. This was the largest takeover in Israel's high-tech industry to date .
Together with Mobileye and Champion Motors , also an Israeli company, Volkswagen wants to offer a driving service with autonomous electric cars in Israel . Development started in early 2019; the service should be fully operational from 2022. Volkswagen will be bringing in the electric vehicles, Mobileye will be providing the technology for driverless operation and Champion Motors will be responsible for logistics and infrastructure.
At the beginning of May 2020, Intel announced the takeover of the mobility service provider Moovit. The company from Israel is to be integrated into Mobileye and enable new business models. Mobileye is to expand its services around robo-taxis, for example. In July 2020, Mobileye received approval from TÜV Süd to test self-driving cars on German roads.
