Mobileye, the Israeli self-driving technology company and an Intel subsidiary, announces plans to launch its own robotaxi service in the United States in 2027. Multiple outlets report that the company is shifting from supplying driving technology to automakers and mobility partners toward operating a consumer-facing transportation service. Ars Technica says the planned service will leverage Mobileye’s Moovit platform, indicating Mobileye intends to build on its existing mobility software stack for the robotaxi operation. Other reports describe the rollout as starting in an as-yet undisclosed American city and include expectations for an initial fleet on the order of about 100 robotaxis, though details of the operating area and partners are not specified in the coverage provided. The announcement is also framed as an effort to participate directly in the “robotaxi revolution” rather than remaining primarily a technology supplier. Overall, the sources agree on the timing (2027), the U.S. location being announced later, and the company’s vertically integrated direction—moving toward standalone robotaxi services supported by its own platforms.

A fleet of approximately 100 robotaxis are coming to an undisclosed American city next year
6 hours agoAn anonymous reader quotes a report from Ars Technica: The driving technology company Mobileye plans to launch a robotaxi service in an as-yet-unnamed US city in 2027, it said earlier today. The service will be vertically integrated, using Mobileye's Moovit mobility platform to interact with customers booking rides, coordinate drivers, and so on. The Israeli company, which was bought by Intel in 2017 before going public again in 2022, says it will start with around 100 robotaxis early next year. The company first rose to prominence in the mid-2010s, when Tesla began using Mobileye's advanced driving assistance systems (ADAS) as part of Autopilot. That relationship lasted until 2016, when Mobileye dropped Tesla as a customer after being alarmed that a driver assistance system was being sold to end users as driverless technology. Since then, Mobileye has continued to work with other partners on ADAS and autonomous vehicles. 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. [...] 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. "This initiative is not a replacement for our existing partnerships; it is an extension of them," said Amnon Shashua, founder and CEO of Mobileye. "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."
