Autonomous and driver-assistance technology company Mobileye has agreed a deal with Innoviz Technologies, a Tier-1 direct supplier of automotive-grade LiDAR sensors and perception software, meaning Mobileye will use Innoviz’s LiDARs for the Mobileye Drive™ platform.
They say this showcases the flexibility of Innoviz’s LiDARs to work across a variety of vehicle platforms to further testing and deployment of autonomous vehicles.
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, with testing underway in Europe, North America, and Asia. It says by leveraging Innoviz’s expertise in LiDAR technology, 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 is built upon mutual work between the two companies over the past few months, with Start of Production (SOP) 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. “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.”
“This is a proud moment for Innoviz as we progress our relationship with Mobileye,” said Omer Keilaf, CEO and Co-Founder of Innoviz Technologies. “Our collaboration on next-generation autonomous vehicle solutions that are both safer and more affordable signifies our shared commitment to accelerate AV adoption. 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.”
Innoviz’s InnovizTwo product platform was designed for global OEMs and can be customised to suit a wide array of vehicular design and functionality requirements. The cutting-edge platform was specifically engineered for Mobileye Drive™ to provide the L4 autonomous platform with a complete set of LiDARs. The combination of LiDARs and Mobileye’s imaging radars as well as high-resolution cameras is critical to enabling comprehensive sensing capabilities for navigating complex urban environments and enhancing the overall safety and reliability of autonomous driving systems.
