Q&A with Mobileye CEO
By Junko Yoshida, EETimes (November 19, 2018)
TOKYO — Mobileye is aggressively shedding its reputation as a one-trick vision chip supplier. As the technology of automotive industries transitions from driving assist to robo-taxi development, Mobileye, an Intel company, is rolling out a comprehensive plan to grab a sizable share in the highly automated vehicle (HAV) market.
Mobileye’s newly disclosed roadmap ranges from a silicon-only “open” EyeQ5 chip (which allows third-party codes to run) to a complete subsystem focused on perception, a turnkey robo-taxi hardware system and applications for ride-hailing businesses.
