Mobileye founder and chief executive Amnon Shashua plans to step down after nearly 30 years, remaining in post until a successor is appointed. The change comes as the driver-assistance technology company expands into autonomous taxi services and humanoid robotics, making the succession significant for its strategic direction.

Founded around Shashua’s computer-vision research, Mobileye became a major supplier of automotive safety and driver-assistance chips, was bought by Intel for $15.3 billion in 2017, and returned to public markets in 2022 while Intel retained a controlling stake. It now supplies autonomous-driving systems to Volkswagen and MOIA, acquired Shashua’s Mentee Robotics for $900 million in January, and aims to launch its own US robotaxi service in 2027.
