Mobileye and Innoviz Technologies have announced that Mobileye will use Innoviz's LiDARs for the Mobileye Drive platform. As described in a recent press release, Mobileye Drive is a driverless system that enables mobility service providers and vehicle manufacturers to make robotaxis, ride-pooling, public transport, and goods delivery fully autonomous (testing is underway in Europe, North America, and Asia). By leveraging Innoviz's LiDAR expertise, in addition to cameras, radars, and imaging radars, vehicles built with the Mobileye Drive platform will deliver safe and smooth driving performance in their operational domains. The agreement was built upon mutual work between the two companies over the past few months, with the start of production beginning in 2026. "We are pleased to utilize Innoviz LiDARs for the first generation of our Mobileye Drive platform to help enable the autonomous performance of our customers' fleets around the world," said Prof. Amnon Shashua, President and CEO of Mobileye. "This is a proud moment for Innoviz as we progress our relationship with Mobileye," said Omer David Keilaf, CEO and Co-Founder of Innoviz. "Our collaboration on next-generation autonomous vehicle solutions that are both safer and more affordable signifies our shared commitment to accelerate AV adoption." The InnovizTwo product platform was designed for global OEMs. It can be customized to suit different designs and functionality requirements. The platform was specifically engineered for Mobileye Drive to provide the L4 autonomous platform with a complete set of LiDARs. "The integration of our imaging radars and high-resolution cameras in combination with the Innoviz LiDARs will play a key role in delivering Mobileye Drive as a powerful autonomous driving system that will ultimately create safer, more efficient, and reliable transportation," Shashua said. "The agreement further attests to Innoviz's capability to meet the stringent requirements of OEMs worldwide and support L4 driving solutions that will help drive a new era of mobility," Keilaf added.
