Mobileye founder and CEO Amnon Shashua is stepping down after nearly three decades as the company transitions into a broader robotics and autonomous driving entity. This leadership change coincides with Mobileye's strategic expansion into robotaxis, with plans to launch a service in the U.S. by 2027, and its recent $900 million acquisition of humanoid robotics startup Mentee Robotics. The move marks a significant shift from its origins as a computer vision chip supplier to a full-stack autonomous systems provider.
Background
Mobileye has evolved from a leading supplier of driver-assistance chips to a developer of full autonomous driving systems, recently expanding its scope to include humanoid robots under its 'Mobileye 3.0' strategy. The company was originally acquired by Intel for $15.3 billion before spinning off as an independent public company in 2022.
