Self-driving tech supplier Mobileye wants to be part of the robotaxi revolution — again

Mobileye announced it will launch its own robotaxi service in a U.S. city in 2027, marking a renewed push into the autonomous ride-hailing market. The company, an Intel subsidiary, aims to deploy its self-driving technology in a commercial setting, having previously partnered with other robotaxi operators. This initiative signifies Mobileye's commitment to demonstrating the capabilities of its "SuperVision" and "Chauffeur" autonomous driving systems. The service is expected to utilize a fleet of vehicles equipped with Mobileye's advanced sensor and computing hardware. The company's strategy involves not only supplying its technology to other automakers and robotaxi companies but also operating its own service to gather real-world data and refine its autonomous driving stack. Mobileye's previous attempts to enter the robotaxi space faced challenges, but the company believes current technological advancements and market conditions are more favorable for a successful launch. The specific U.S. city for the deployment has not yet been disclosed, but the company is in discussions with several municipalities.
