Mobileye wins second major automaker for hands-free highway driving system
Advanced driver assistance is moving from premium add-ons to standard equipment across mainstream vehicle lineups.
U.S. automaker selects EyeQ6H chip for millions of vehicles
On January 5, 2026, Mobileye announced that a U.S.-based automaker has chosen the Mobileye EyeQ6H chip to power advanced driver assistance systems with hands-free driving on select highways across millions of vehicles worldwide. The deal represents accelerating demand for Mobileye's Surround ADAS systems globally.
Mobileye now estimates future delivery of more than 19 million EyeQ6H-based Surround systems, including 9 million from this newly announced automaker and programs previously announced with Volkswagen Group in March 2025. The new customer will offer Surround ADAS as standard equipment across many mainstream and premium models.
Cost reduction through software-defined integration
The Mobileye Surround ADAS approach significantly lowers costs compared to first-generation hands-free highway systems by supporting ECU consolidation for automakers. The system vertically integrates software and multiple driving functions on a single chip and electronic control unit.
By leveraging the EyeQ6H as a central processor for ADAS, the architecture enables better performance, increased features, and greater flexibility while reducing overall system costs. The approach processes up to 11 sensors, including multiple cameras and radars, through a single EyeQ6H chip.
Democratizing safety technology
Mobileye President and CEO Amnon Shashua said the selection reflects 'the power of our approach to democratizing safety and technology.' The systems will be deployed in software-defined vehicle architectures, integrating computer vision, sensor fusion, and crowdsourced driving data.
The move suggests that features once reserved for luxury vehicles are becoming baseline capabilities across broader vehicle segments. By 2024, about 200 million vehicles worldwide had been built with Mobileye's EyeQ technology inside.
