Indeed, they plan to operate their own robotaxi services as well as partner with many other players wishing to enter that space. I sat down with Amnon Shashua, CEO and founder of MobilEye, to discuss their strategy.

As part of Intel, they have top-tier ability to produce custom processors. They are also using Intel's silicon photonics and other resources to generate a new high performance LIDAR and imaging radar. They combine this with several unusual approaches and a system of safety constraints on
