Timeline

Founded in 1999 with a mission to reduce vehicle injuries and fatalities, Mobileye has created the most advanced collision-avoidance system on the market. At a time when automobile safety technology was focused on mitigating the severity of collision-related injuries, Mobileye set out to create technology to prevent collisions from occurring.

• 1998
• Concept is Born
  During a presentation about his research to an auto manufacturer, Professor Amnon Shashua – who teaches computer science at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem – was asked if it was possible for two cameras to identify a vehicle. Shashua’s response: “Why two cameras? It can be done with one.”
• 1999
• Mobileye is Founded
  Mobileye N.V. is founded by Prof. Shashua and Ziv Aviram as Prof. Shashua evolved his academic research into a technical solution for a vision system to detect vehicles using only one camera coupled with software algorithms on a processor. Long before most people predicted that vision safety or autonomous driving would become a trend, Mobileye begins investing in vision safety research and development. Within a year-and-a-half, with a single engineer and eight data processors having done the work, Prof. Shashua and Aviram return to that same auto manufacturer with a demonstration of their prototype.
• R&D Center Opens
  Mobileye’s R&D center opens in Jerusalem, Israel, with a focus on developing algorithms and a micro-processing chip called EyeQ^®, on which Mobileye’s proprietary image-processing algorithms will run.
• 2004
• First System-on-Chip Launched
  After years of proving the accuracy of its machine-vision algorithms across rigorous automaker-prototype testing, Mobileye begins the process to launch its first system-on-chip product (EyeQ^®1) in serial production to support features like Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Lane Departure Warning (LDW), and Intelligent High-beam Control (IHC).
• 2006
• Aftermarket Division Opens
  Mobileye opens the Aftermarket division, which sells collision-avoidance products to commercial fleets, car dealerships and auto-accessory distributors. These products can be retrofitted onto vehicles already on the road.
• 2007
• Goldman Sachs invests $130M
  Goldman Sachs invests $130 million in Mobileye.
• First series production with three OEMs
  Mobileye's version of the lane-departure warning system, which warns a driver when their vehicle is leaving or about to leave its lane, is launched in multiple production platforms with General Motors, BMW and Volvo.
• 2012
• 1 millionth chip
  Mobileye ships its one-millionth chip.
• 2014
