Israeli Innovation: Mobileye

Mobileye is one of Israel’s biggest success stories in technology and road safety. Founded in Jerusalem in 1999 by Professor Amnon Shashua, the company developed computer-vision technology that helps cars “see” the road. Its system uses cameras and advanced software to detect other vehicles, pedestrians, lane markings and potential hazards in real time. By the early 2010s, Mobileye was already being built into cars by major manufacturers, helping reduce crashes by warning drivers before collisions happened.

The technology has continued to evolve. After Mobileye was acquired by Intel in 2017, the company expanded its work into autonomous driving, mapping entire cities and developing full self-driving systems. Today Mobileye powers driver-assistance features in millions of cars worldwide, making travel significantly safer. It is one of the clearest examples of Israeli innovation making a real difference in the lives of ordinary drivers everywhere.
