Intel to Make SoC for Next Gen Mobileye

Reuters, NYT: Intel will provide a SoC for autonomous vehicle systems that Delphi and Mobileye are developing together, Glen De Vos, Delphi's VP Engineering said. Delphi is testing autonomous driving technology in vehicles in Singapore. By the end of this year, Delphi hopes to choose a city in the United States to launch a test fleet of self-driving cars during 2017, De Vos said. The company is also looking for test site in a European city.

Delphi and Mobileye will demo their self-driving vehicle system at the CES in Las Vegas in January. That system will use current, electromechanical laser imaging technology, or LIDAR, that is too expensive for use in consumer vehicles, he said. Delphi is also working with Quanergy Systems, a maker of solid-state LIDAR systems.
