Mobileye

An Israeli autonomous-driving chip company that announced the acquisition of humanoid-robot maker Mentee in 2026.

Mobileye was founded in Jerusalem, Israel in 1999; co-founder Amnon Shashua is a computer-vision scholar. It built its business on the EyeQ line of vision chips and driver-assistance systems, was acquired by Intel in 2017, and re-listed on the Nasdaq in 2022, with Intel remaining its largest shareholder. On January 6, 2026, Mobileye announced it was acquiring the humanoid-robot company Mentee Robotics for about $900 million (about $612 million in cash, with the rest in up to 26.2 million Mobileye shares), calling it “Mobileye 3.0” — bringing its autonomous-driving perception, decision-making, and mass-production experience to humanoid robots, with customer proof-of-concept deployments planned for 2026 and mass-market production for 2028. It is a textbook case of autonomous-driving talent moving into embodied AI.
