The drive toward an autonomous future is first and foremost about safer roads. It is a future that can’t come soon enough for the 1 million people who die in crashes each year. Intel and Mobileye see it as a moral imperative to deliver the technology that will make this future possible.
But we don’t have to wait for fully autonomous vehicles (AVs) to make our roads safer. Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) or assisted driving solutions are already reducing the number and severity of crashes. And the more vehicles that we can equip with this technology, the more we can bring these benefits forward.
Mobileye is the leader in assisted driving today, present in 12 of the 16 cars that received a 5-star safety rating from EuroNCAP in 2018. We were pioneers in the use of computer vision technology to save lives on the road. Today that technology is scaling up to become the building blocks for a fully autonomous vehicle. At the same time, the technology we are developing for AVs is proving useful for next-level ADAS that we call “level 2+.”
For Mobileye and Intel, safety is our North Star. And the safer roads we expect from our autonomous future are arriving with assisted driving today.

“We view it as a moral imperative to pursue a future with autonomous vehicles (AVs), but to not wait for it when we have the technology to save lives today.”
– Prof. Amnon Shashua, Intel Sr. Vice President and President and CEO of Mobileye, an Intel Company
“The adoption of RSS by our global partners and their willingness to invest in an RSS-based safety standard demonstrates their serious commitment to a safer autonomous future.”
– Jack Weast, senior principal engineer, Intel, and vice president of Automated Vehicle Standards, Mobileye, an Intel Company
“The key differentiator of our system is that it is designed to meet important goals of safety and economic scalability from the beginning. We target a vehicle that gets from point A to point B faster, smoother and less expensively than a human-driven vehicle.”
– Prof. Amnon Shashua, Intel. Sr. Vice President and President and CEO of Mobileye, an Intel Company
“We are really close to perfecting the technology for self-driving cars. But our driverless future won’t go anywhere if people don’t trust it.”

Intel Goes ‘All-In’ on Robotaxi Opportunity
Speaking to Intel investors from London, Professor Amnon Shashua, Intel senior vice president and president and CEO of Mobileye, declared that transportation as a service, as enabled by robotaxis, is a game-changer for mobility. He announced that Intel is “all-in” on the global robotaxi opportunity with the right combination to scale cities quickly. “Intel aspires to a leading position in this market top to bottom,” Shashua said. “We can and are building the full solution. We know that we have the products and market position to deliver an accident-free world.”
