Intel subsidiary Mobileye announced it will launch its own robotaxi service in a U.S. city by 2027, positioning itself as both a supplier and operator in the autonomous vehicle market.
Mobileye, the Israeli autonomous driving company owned by Intel, will enter the robotaxi market directly through its own service launch. The move marks a strategic shift from its traditional role as a technology supplier to automakers and fleet operators.
By launching its own robotaxi operation, Mobileye gains firsthand experience in commercial autonomous vehicle deployment while maintaining its existing business providing self-driving software and hardware to other companies. This dual positioning allows the company to test its technology in real-world conditions and generate direct revenue from passenger services.
The 2027 timeline indicates Mobileye's confidence in its autonomous driving capabilities, though the company has not yet specified which U.S. city will host the initial launch. The robotaxi sector has seen increased competition, with companies like Waymo and Cruise already operating services in select markets.
Mobileye's expansion into robotaxi operations comes as demand for autonomous vehicle technology continues growing across ride-sharing, delivery, and logistics sectors.
