ON Semi says that its automotive sensors have the industry's best manufacturing quality. The company's goal is to reach 1 ppb (part per billion) defect rate. The defect rate of 55ppb in 2015 has been reduced to around 30ppb in 2018. So far, the company has shipped 110b sensors since 2010:

BusinessWire: Toshiba reports that its Visconti 4 vision processor is a part of Toyota new ADAS system that recorded industry-leading scores in the 2018 Japan New Car Assessment Program (JNCAP), the government program that assesses the road safety of new vehicles. The Toyota Alphard/Vellfire was declared the winner of the Grand Prix Award for preventive safety performance, and the Toyota Crown and Corolla Sport were both evaluated as ASV +++, the highest level for advanced safety vehicles. Toshiba supplies Visconti 4 to the Toyota vehicles as an integral part of DENSO Front-Camera-Based Active Safety System.

It's not clear whether Toyota keeps using Mobileye processors or completely switches over to Toshiba.
