Overview Founded in 1999, Mobileye is a 700+ person technology company based in Israel that develops ADAS solutions. The company claims three competitive strengths: 1) Vision processing software algorithms based on deep learning which allow series of camera
only ADAS features 2) IC design competencies of low power / low cost vector accelerators that are an order of
magnitude more efficient than the competition 3) Millions of “road experience miles”, translating to a large validation dataset
Mobileye has established a firm position in the $4.5B Safety Rating Regulation Market by introducing features identified by NCAPs to achieve 5 star safety rating.
Mobileye is “fabless” working with STMicroelectronics to deploy EyeQ. The cycle time for release of new hardware matches industries natural cycle time for evolving platform elements (3-4 years). Tier1s serve as the channel to OEMs, though they create demand pull by working closely with the OEMs.
Products EyeQ Vision Processing Platform Family of automotive grade low power chips which support computationally intensive vision applications. The customer may select a bundle (2-3) of ADAS features. Each generation has improved performance by 6-8X.
Series 5/6 Aftermarket Unit A $1,000 product providing FWC, PCW, HMW, LDW, IHC, and SLI features. Has proven valuable for 1) OEM customer acquisition, allowing them to easily evaluate on their own cars, 2) building datasets to train models, and 3) dealings with governmental agencies.
Road Experience Management (REM) A cloud based service, Delivering crowd sourced high def maps with 10cm accuracy. Primary principle is “Sparse 3D, Dense 1D” which caps network bandwidth requirement at 10 KB/Km.
Strategy - Evolution to Autonomous Driving While the ultimate industry goal is to achieve Level5 fully autonomous driving functionality, the company divides the market into two camps: 1) those who are aiming to provide full functionality in some places (e.g. Google, Uber), and then aim to scaling everywhere, and 2) those who are targeting partial functionality everywhere (most of the car industry) and aim to incrementally enhance features to achieve full capabilities.
Mobileye is in the latter camp, where ADAS features play an important role and can naturally address Autonomous Driving Level1, Level2, and eventually Level3 requirements. The company is placing bets in three technology areas -Sensing, Maps, and Driving Policy- to enable its evolution from ADAS to the Autonomous Driving.
Sensing, helps build an environmental model and is a natural growth of ADAS. Planned capabilities that go beyond current ADAS requirements are determining path delimiters, and resolving drivable paths. EyeQ is also evolving from supporting a single camera to surround camera sensing capability (up to 8).
Requirements for MAPs are met with REM (discussed above), which allows OEMs to leverage own assets (deployed vehicles) to supply a critical item needed to achieve full autonomy at a reasonable cost. OEMs can share mapping data, and Mobileye has commitments from 3 OEMs - GM, VW, and Nissan.
Driving Policy is distinct from Sensing as follows. Sensing deals with the present, it’s mostly a single agent game and is predictable. The key technology is deep supervised learning. Driving Policy by contrast, involves planning for future events (e.g. what maneuvers to take to successfully exit the highway), it’s a multi-agent game (e.g. actions dependent on interpretation of pedestrian or other driver intents), and it’s not perfectly predictable. The key technology is Reinforcement learning.

Revenue(M) Net Income and Operating Profit
AEB
Level 1 Autonomous Driving
Company swung to profitability in 2013, after shipping 2.6M cumulative units. The loss in 2014 was due to a $60M charge for options granted to founders, without which the profitability would have grown by 200% to $45M. Margins have been steady at 74%.
Financials
YOY growth (70%-100%) outpaces ADAS market growth (~30%). Revenue mix from aftermarket, EyeQ sales and NRE (comes to roughly $100Ks per account).
Few hardware, but frequent software releases: successful “software wrapped around hardware” approach reflected by increasing ASP. Stark contrast to NVIDIA: Mobileye has achieved profitability after shipping 2.5M units, while NVIDIA still losing money after shipping 8M units.
Camera only features have cut costs (parts, with no radar requirement, and integration), allowing penetration in non-luxury segments. Company has won 80% of all RFQs received in the past seven years. Currently company claims 22 OEM customers.

Mobileye is successfully defending their ASP by adopting a “Software wrapped around Hardware” approach. ASP was flat in 2014 due to mix of app bundles in pipeline. Company forecasts ASP to multiply by up to 3x (to $132) in 2018 by adoption of autonomous driving features.
