About Mobileye

Founded in 1999 by Prof. Amnon Shashua and Mr. Ziv Aviram, Mobileye N.V. is recognized as the leader in vision-based Driver Assistance Systems (DAS), and has been selected by a wide range of global automotive companies for their production vehicles.

Mobileye is the leading pioneer in the development of monocular vision-based Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), providing system-on-chip and computer-vision algorithms to run DAS customer functions such as Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Vehicle Detection for radar vision fusion, Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Headway Monitoring (HMW), Pedestrian Detection, Intelligent Headlight Control (IHC), Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR), vision only Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and more.

To date, Mobileye’s technology has been launched by BMW on multiple production platforms: 5-Series, 6-Series, 7-Series, Volvo S80, XC70 XC60 and V70 models, with the S60 going to production in 2010, and GM on the Buick Lucerne, Cadillac DTS and STS.

Mobileye’s mission is to develop vision systems for accident reduction and driver assistance. These systems function as a third eye for the driver by supporting routine driving tasks (e.g., Headway Monitoring and Lane keeping) and provide timely warnings (e.g., Forward Collision Warning) in dangerous situations.

Mobileye's key technical breakthroughs lie in the use of a mono camera for all of its applications and in bundling together multiple applications to run simultaneously on a single EyeQ™ and EyeQ2™ processor based camera. Mobileye therefore has clear advantages in offering systems with multiple functions on a single hardware platform and in performing tasks previously only possible by an array of different sensors.

Mobileye’s award winning EyeQ™and EyeQ2™ vision processors represent a major breakthrough combining high performance, low cost and the consolidation of multiple applications on a single platform. They enable high-end functions combinations to be offered to all market segments.

Currently Mobileye has a wide range of Tier1 partners. These include Autoliv, Delphi, Continental AG/Siemens VDO, Magna Electronics, Leopold Kostal GmbH, TRW Automotive and Magneti Marelli Sistemi Elettronici. Each Tier1 partner brings unique technical and commercial advantages and hence Mobileye has secured series production wins with most partner companies.

Mobileye’s consumer product line, the Mobileye Collision Prevention Systems, contains features already in OEM production and new customer features to be launched by OEMs in the future. Mobileye AWS is sold worldwide as an Aftermarket safety solution for passenger cars and commercial fleets.

Mobileye is the recipient of several prestigious awards including the Red Herring Top 100 Innovators Award and the Frost & Sullivan 2006 Entrepreneurial Company of the Year Award in the Automotive Industry. This recognition signifies the company's identification of a unique and revolutionary product solution with significant market potential.
