As the calendar flips to the end of this year, over a hundred "uninvited guests" will soon populate our streets—these are Intel's highly automated self-driving fleets. While they represent a mere fraction compared to the more than a billion vehicles worldwide, Intel’s entry into this space signals a fresh wave in the autonomous driving revolution.
Last week, Intel completed its acquisition of Mobileye, sealing a $15.3 billion deal. This move positions Intel as a major player in the autonomous driving industry, setting the stage for the future of driverless technology. As Intel CEO Bob Swan noted, "This acquisition cements Intel's leadership in autonomous driving, laying a strong foundation for what lies ahead."
The integration of Mobileye’s cutting-edge computer vision technology with Intel’s advanced computing and connectivity expertise creates an unparalleled end-to-end advantage in the "car-to-cloud" ecosystem. Intel, which has long viewed autonomous driving as a core strategic focus, now stands poised to make significant strides in this burgeoning field.
Intel's first initiative is the establishment of a highly automated (SAE Level 4) fleet. By year's end, testing will begin across the U.S., Israel, and Europe, with a total of over 100 vehicles. These fleets will span multiple brands and models, showcasing Intel’s technological versatility. Geographically diverse testing allows Intel to develop solutions adaptable to global markets, while the variety of vehicles demonstrates Intel’s ability to integrate seamlessly with different automakers.
Crucially, Intel gains access to one of the most valuable resources in developing autonomous driving technology—data. As Amnon Shashua, Intel Senior Vice President and Mobileye CEO, stated, "We aim to help automakers bring autonomous vehicles to market faster and at lower cost, and the data we collect will significantly reduce expenses for our customers."
Intel’s second major move is expanding its alliances. Joining forces with the BMW Group, Intel, and Mobileye, the Fiat Chrysler Group became the first automaker to join this coalition, aiming to create a globally deployable autonomous driving platform. This expanded partnership leverages Intel’s comprehensive "car-to-cloud" capabilities, along with the insights gained from Intel’s highly automated fleet.
With the acquisition of Mobileye, Intel has emerged as a dominant force in autonomous driving. This bold step reflects Intel’s longstanding commitment to innovation in the automotive sector. Intel brings to the table a unique suite of resources, including in-vehicle computing, robust cloud infrastructure, advanced machine learning solutions, high-speed 5G connectivity, and sophisticated memory and FPGA technologies.
Intel collaborates closely with automotive and tech leaders to build a thriving ecosystem for self-driving cars. Partnerships with Hyundai, Infiniti, Jaguar, Land Rover, Kia, Lexus, and Toyota have already established extensive IVI ecosystems, particularly through collaborations with BMW Group, Fiat Chrysler, Delphi, and Continental. Together, these efforts aim to deliver the essential solutions needed for automated driving and cutting-edge systems.
Intel is determined to reshape the driving experience in a groundbreaking manner. With the autonomous driving market showing immense promise, Intel is fully committed to emerging victorious.
