Mobileye, Intel’s self-driving startup, applies for an IPO

Amnon Shashua and Ziv Aviram founded Mobileye in 1999, and the company is best known for its EyeQ system-on-a-chip (SoC), which acts as the “brain” for Mobileye’s driver-assist and self-driving technologies. Mobileye also used a data crowdsourcing technique known as Road Experience Management (REM) to create a 3D map using real-time data collected from cars equipped with Mobileye’s technologies. Earlier this year, Mobileye debuted its EyeQ Ultra processor, which it describes as its most powerful system yet.
