It has developed a new “SuperVision” ADAS that combines cameras and radar sensors, used by Porsche and Polestar, among others. On the robotaxi front, it has partnered with Volkswagen Group’s MOIA to develop a commercially available robotaxi based on the VW ID. Buzz minivan, and last year, Mobileye revealed plans to work with Lyft to deploy robotaxis in Dallas, “as soon as” this year.
“This initiative is not a replacement for our existing partnerships; it is an extension of them,” said Shashua. “We remain deeply committed to enabling automakers and mobility providers with Mobileye Drive. At the same time, operating our own service allows us to accelerate adoption, gain direct operational experience, and showcase the full potential of autonomous mobility.”
If Mobileye’s experience with the initial 100 robotaxis goes well, it says it will scale up to around 17,000 robotaxis within the following five years. “The robotaxi revolution has only just begun, and its potential for transforming how we travel around the world continues to increase,” Shashua said.
