After releasing the EyeQ2® processor in 2010 and the EyeQ3® in 2014, the two vision processors have been at the core of the Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) revolution that has already saved hundreds of lives. In 2018 Mobileye, the market leader, launched the EyeQ4® processor, which offers ten times the processing capability of the EyeQ3®. EyeQ4® adds supports for mapping using Road Experience Management, Driving Policy, vehicle detection from any angle and next-generation lane detection. The vision processor market is predicted to have an impressive Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 90% from 2018 to 2024 according to Yole Développement. Mobileye is currently the leader of camera-based ADAS, with products currently available in 160 car models including General Motors, Nissan, BMW and Honda. The EyeQ4® chipsets are developed by Mobileye and manufactured by STMicroelectronics using the proprietary 28nm Fully Depleted Silicon On Insulator (FD-SOI) low power consumption technology.
