Intel-owned Mobileye announced that the EyeQ SoC system integration chip, known as the brain of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), has exceeded 100 million shipments.
In the early days, only luxury cars and SUVs will be equipped with this safer ADAS system, and after the unremitting efforts of Intel and Mobileye, the ADAS system based on pure vision came out, and ordinary cars also have low-cost computer vision technology.
Today, most of the cars in production are equipped with this advanced safety technology, and the ADAS business has contributed about 60% of Mobileye's total sales in the past four years.
Studies have shown that basic passive ADAS features, such as Front Collision Warning (FCW), Lane Departure Warning (LDW), and Blind Spot Detection, can effectively reduce the number of collisions and the severity of accidents, which were pioneered by Mobileye.
In March 2017, Intel spent $15.3 billion (about 100 billion yuan) to acquire Israeli self-driving startup Mobileye, which accounts for 80 percent of the ADAS market and is tesla's system supplier.
