Amnon Shashua will remain CEO until Mobileye names a successor.
Why it matters: The transition comes as Mobileye pushes toward robotaxis and other autonomy products. Investors will be watching whether the leadership change affects execution on a planned 2027 U.S. robotaxi launch.
- Mobileye said July 23 that founder and CEO Amnon Shashua will step down after a successor is named.
- The board has offered Shashua the chairman role after the transition, and he will remain a director for now.
- Mobileye said it will hire an executive search firm to run a comprehensive CEO search.
- In June, Mobileye said it plans to launch its own robotaxi service in a U.S. city in 2027.
Mobileye said founder and CEO Amnon Shashua will step down once the company names a successor, beginning a leadership transition at the autonomous-driving company. The board has offered him the chairman role after the handoff, and he will remain a director in the meantime. Mobileye announced the change July 23, 2026.
The company said it will hire an executive search firm and conduct a comprehensive CEO search. TechCrunch reported the transition the same day.
The move comes as Mobileye pushes further into robotaxis. In June, the company said it plans to launch its own robotaxi service in a U.S. city in 2027. Mobileye outlined the robotaxi plan in June.
Shashua has led Mobileye for nearly three decades, and the company said its EyeQ technology has been built into more than 250 million vehicles worldwide.
By the numbers
- 2027 - Mobileye's target year to launch its own robotaxi service in a U.S. city.
- 250 million - Vehicles worldwide that Mobileye says include its EyeQ technology.
Yes, but: Mobileye has not named a successor yet, so the timing and direction of the leadership change remain open.
What's next: Mobileye said it will conduct a comprehensive CEO search and name a successor before Shashua steps aside.
