CES 2023: Mobileye advances autonomous driving with Zeekr and Holon

European Premium Manufacturer in the Focus of Mobileye

The Intel subsidiary has commenced development work with a European premium automotive manufacturer – execution is expected by 2025. Furthermore, the company is in advanced development phases with other customers. Overall, it is anticipated that the production volume of SuperVision-based vehicles will reach about 1.2 million units per year by 2026. Additionally, OEMs are expressing a strong desire to leverage investments in the system to enable autonomous eyes-off functions – comparable to SAE Level 3 and Level 4 – in a variety of use cases. This can be achieved by simply adding additional sensors and computing power in a modular manner. Mid-term, this promises the creation of a high-quality, cost-efficient eyes-off product for vehicles.

Continuous Progress in Mobility-as-a-Service and Validation

In addition to SuperVision and AVs for private individuals, the provider further developed its Mobileye Drive Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) technology for autonomous vehicles in 2022. The company recently signed a letter of intent for several thousand units with a major global manufacturer of light commercial vehicles. In 2023, it plans to continue validating its AV technology, such as through a pilot phase with the latest vehicle technology in Germany. While public perception of AVs has changed over the past year, Mobileye remained focused on providing scalable, modular AV technology.

"To strengthen public and regulatory trust in autonomous vehicles, robust, transparent validation is required," the specialist is convinced.

For this reason, Amnon Shashua is presenting the three-stage validation process for Mobileye's AV technology for the first time at CES 2023. This process leverages the company's valuable resources such as Road Experience Mapping data and True Redundancy. A combination of real tests, simulation, and hardware-in-the-loop validation allows Mobileye to use extensive data from road tests to develop AV solutions on a large scale. Mobileye's MaaS partners are also making further progress.

Benteler subsidiary Holon relies on Mobileye for its People Mover

At CES 2023, the AV cooperation partner Holon, a Benteler subsidiary, is presenting a new autonomous People Mover with Mobileye Drive – one of Mobileye's many worldwide collaborations with companies that rely on various AV business models. Mobileye focuses on affordable solutions that can be deployed globally and flexibly built for different vehicle types. The company sees this as a clear and financially sustainable path to developing AVs that can be used by both consumers and fleets.

Further Expansion of ADAS

The reasons for the rapid further development are based on continuous innovations within the ADAS market, where the company continues to see strong demand and significant growth. Just last year, 233 models with the technology were launched worldwide. The innovation roadmap includes new key technologies such as imaging radar – a sensor that can offer the advantages of lidar at a fraction of the cost. Having demonstrated the potential of imaging radar last year, Mobileye is now working with the experienced automotive radar provider Wistron NeWeb to bring the technology to series maturity within two years. Other solutions, from cloud-supported services to intelligent speed assistants, are also seeing increases among globally recognized automakers.
