■ AI-SUMMARIZED FROM 1 SOURCE ▸ TIMELINE

Intel's Mobileye will enter the US robotaxi market with a standalone service launching in a US city by 2027, leveraging its Moovit mobility platform.

Mobileye, Intel's autonomous driving unit, is expanding beyond its existing partnerships to operate its own robotaxi service in the United States. The company will deploy its Moovit platform—which it acquired in 2020—to provide autonomous ride-hailing services. The move marks Mobileye's shift toward direct consumer operations rather than solely supplying autonomous driving technology to other manufacturers. The specific US city for the 2027 launch has not been announced. Mobileye has been developing self-driving technology for years and currently provides autonomous vehicle platforms to multiple carmakers. The Moovit platform, which focuses on mobility and transportation planning, will serve as the operational backbone for customer bookings and logistics. This announcement positions Mobileye to compete directly with other robotaxi operators including Waymo and Cruise, both advancing autonomous ride-hailing services across multiple US cities.
