Mobileye is an Israeli developer of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), computer-vision processors, and autonomous-driving software, founded in 1999 by Prof. Amnon Shashua and Ziv Aviram. The company pioneered the use of single-camera vision systems for collision-avoidance and lane-departure warning, becoming a global standard supplier to most major automotive OEMs. Headquartered in Jerusalem.
Why it matters. Intel acquired Mobileye in March 2017 for approximately $15.3 billion, then the largest Israeli technology exit on record. Intel re-listed Mobileye on Nasdaq (MBLY) in October 2022 at approximately $17 billion valuation, retaining majority ownership. The company remains the dominant ADAS supplier in the global automotive market and a central anchor of the Israeli automotive-technology ecosystem, alongside Mobileye-alumni-founded firms across the broader sensor and autonomy stack.
