Latest generation of pioneering system-on-chip and software
already set to enable safety and convenience in 46 million
vehicles
Mobileye announced today it has delivered the first
production-candidate hardware and software of its new EyeQ™6 Lite
system-on-chip to its customers, which will power advanced
driver-assistance systems in multiple models launching this year.
This milestone marks the beginning of the EyeQ6 family, with the
EyeQ6L already set to be installed in 46 million vehicles over the
next few years – becoming the global auto industry’s ADAS solution
of choice from the start. It will be followed by the EyeQ6 High
advanced system-on-chip, on track to launch in early 2025.

The EyeQ6L builds on Mobileye’s 25 years of pioneering work in
automotive safety, computer vision, chip design and machine
learning, which enabled the widespread adoption of automatic
forward collision warning and emergency braking across the
automotive industry. To date, more than 170 million vehicles
worldwide have been built with Mobileye technology inside.
"With the EyeQ6L, the team has once again delivered a
system-on-chip that enables sizable gains in performance, safety,
and comfort features to our customers, without a material increase
in price, as has been our pledge for many years," said Prof. Amnon
Shashua, founder and CEO of Mobileye. “We know the power of ADAS to
save lives and reduce traffic accidents globally, and with the
EyeQ6L, automakers can meet regulatory requirements while
delivering meaningful technology improvements to end users.”
Many studies have found notable safety benefits from key ADAS
technologies. The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety has said
technologies available today could prevent 37 million crashes, 14
million injuries and nearly 250,000 deaths in the United States
over the next 30 years if made standard on all vehicles.i Other
research by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has found
that automatic emergency braking reduces front to rear crashes by
50 percent, and injury crashes by 57 percent, while pedestrian AEB
cuts crashes by 27 percent and lane-departure warning reduces
injury crashes by 21 percent.ii While about 7 out of 10 new
vehicles worldwide are sold with some level of ADAS technology
today, that share is lower in many high-volume markets, including
China and India, where the full benefit of ADAS remains
untapped.
Automotive safety advocates and regulators around the world have
recognized the power of ADAS to save lives and reduce crashes, and
the EyeQ6L was designed to meet not only current standards but
future ones as well, from the European Union’s General Safety
Regulation and new car assessment programs (NCAPs) in dozens of
countries, to U.S. regulations and insurance industry assessments,
as well as ASIL-B level safety.
Benefits and Features for Drivers Worldwide
The EyeQ6L combines Mobileye’s experience in designing
automotive-grade processors and artificial intelligence/machine
learning algorithms with its expertise in custom integrated
software that optimizes performance and energy efficiency. Designed
with two CPU cores and five high-compute density accelerators, the
EyeQ6L provides 4.5 times more computing power than the EyeQ4M, at
roughly half the physical space, with similar levels of power
consumption – key elements for automotive use. The chip also
improves pixel segmentation capabilities through a dynamic neural
network with more than double the point density of EyeQ4M.
The EyeQ6L enables systems that can capture much more detailed
data of the world around them with an 8-megapixel camera and
120-degree lateral field of vision, a 20-degree increase over the
camera available with the EyeQ4M. The increased vision data also
powers new environmental sensing and range capabilities; with
EyeQ6L, vehicles can sense when roads are dry, wet or snowy and
adjust emergency stopping distances accordingly, as well as
detecting many types of objects at greater distances. The camera
and processor updates enable several advancements to automatic
emergency braking systems, such as an increased ability to monitor
and react to other vehicles, pedestrians, or random road objects in
complex situations – like a piece of furniture falling off a truck
in an adjacent lane, or a cow sitting in the vehicle’s path.
Mobileye has been an industry leader in pedestrian and cyclist
detection, and the EyeQ6 builds on that record through new sensing
and software capabilities, improving vehicle response. The hardware
and software power of EyeQ6L also enables upgrades to functions
such as lane-keeping assist and automated lane change systems that
can find not only the center of the current lane, but the next two
lanes on either side of travel. Automated cruise control systems
using EyeQ6 can now sense an upcoming curve and slow the vehicle as
needed for passenger comfort.
Last year, Mobileye rolled out Intelligent Speed Assist upgrades
for its EyeQ4M that could meet European standards for automatically
reading and understanding speed limit signs – whether permanent or
temporary signs. The EyeQ6L goes a step further by reading key text
phrases on signage, like a speed limit that’s only active on
weekday mornings, or a city entrance sign that implies a lower
speed limit. All this uses only computer vision and on-board
software – not GPS or other external data sources.
“This is only the start of our journey with the EyeQ6L,” said
Nimrod Nehushtan, Executive Vice President of Business Development
and Strategy for Mobileye. “Through continuous development, tools
like EyeQ Kit™ and the ability to use over-the-air software
updates, the EyeQ6 family has the ability to serve the industry for
many years to come, making driving safer and more convenient for
millions.”
The other member of the EyeQ6 family, the EyeQ6 High, is set to
enter series production early next year and power all of Mobileye’s
advanced automated driving technologies – from Mobileye
SuperVision™ for hands-off, eyes-on driving, through Mobileye
Chauffeur™ for hands-off, eyes-off driving, and Mobileye Drive™
autonomous driving in specified domains.
