Amnon Shashua, founder and CEO of Mobileye, is set to step down after nearly 30 years, coinciding with the company's expansion into robotaxis and humanoid robots. He will remain in his role until a successor is appointed, as stated in a regulatory filing.
This leadership transition is significant as Mobileye, known for its computer vision chips, is evolving its business model. The company, which had the largest IPO in Israel's history and was acquired by Intel for $15.3 billion, is now focusing on robotics and automotive AI, particularly after acquiring Mentee Robotics for $900 million.
Looking ahead, Mobileye plans to launch its own robotaxi service in a U.S. city by 2027, marking a pivotal shift from being a chip supplier to a provider of autonomous driving systems. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
