Working Together With Mobileye

We are collaborating with Mobileye, an Intel company, on cutting-edge driver-assistance systems across our global product line-up.

Lisa Drake: Chief operating officer for North America.

“Providing people with extra confidence while driving is invaluable, and it’s exactly what our available Ford Co-Pilot360 features are designed to do. By customising Mobileye’s excellent software and sensing technology, Ford’s great driver-assist features will continue to evolve and provide customers with confidence on the road throughout the life of their vehicles.”

As chosen supplier of vision-sensing technology for our advanced driver-assistance systems, Mobileye will provide its EyeQ family of devices, together with vision-processing software to support Level 1 and Level 2 driver-assistance systems in our vehicles globally.

 

Level 1 systems are defined by the Society of Automotive Engineers as automating a single part of the driving experience, such as steering or acceleration/deceleration, while Level 2 systems provide both steering and acceleration/braking support. Both require drivers to supervise performance of the vehicle. 

We will bring Mobileye’s name front and centre through the inclusion of its logo in the company’s SYNC driver-assist displays. For the first time, customers will be made aware that we are building the power of some Ford Co-Pilot360 Technology features on top of the sensing capabilities provided by Mobileye. 

Professor Amnon Shashua, president and CEO, Mobileye.

“It is a privilege to extend and expand our long-standing collaboration with a company that is so committed to safety on behalf of its global customer base. We look forward to working closely together to bring these functionalities to market in the full Ford product line-up.”

New production vehicles will use Mobileye’s EyeQ computer chips and software to support features under the Ford Co-Pilot360 Technology. Used to help precisely identify what the windshield camera in a vehicle can see – including lane markings, traffic signs, pedestrians and other vehicles – Mobileye’s technology will support features such as Lane-Keeping System, Auto High-Beam headlamps, Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking and Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control, as well as Active Drive Assist hands-free driving coming to the all-new Mustang Mach-E.

We will take advantage of Mobileye’s technology throughout the life of our next-generation production vehicles, including Mustang Mach-E, as well as future products that offer advanced driver-assistance systems features. 

While we have worked together for years, this marks the first time we are committing to Mobileye’s technology for the entire lifecycle of our next-generation vehicles. 

New production vehicles will use Mobileye’s EyeQ3 and EyeQ4 for Level 1 and Level 2 advanced driver-assistance systems platforms. The EyeQ family is set apart from the competition by its ability to support complex and computationally intense vision processing while maintaining low power consumption even when located on the windshield of a vehicle. Building on the capabilities of its predecessors, EyeQ4 can process multiple sensors and other inputs required for driver-assist features.
