隨著全球自動駕駛汽車技術(shù)競爭的持續(xù)升溫,英特爾旗下自動駕駛技術(shù)公司Mobileye在本周一獲得一項重要勝利。
該公司表示,已與全球銷量第四的汽車公司福特達成合作協(xié)議,此后將為福特的全球產(chǎn)品線提供EyeQ感應(yīng)技術(shù)套件。
福特北美區(qū)的首席運營官麗莎?德雷克在一份聲明中說:“Mobileye優(yōu)秀的軟件和傳感技術(shù)將為福特的輔助駕駛系統(tǒng)提供支持,并讓客戶對福特汽車充滿信心。”
但是福特尚未完全實現(xiàn)自動駕駛功能。這份合作協(xié)議涵蓋了碰撞警告、自動車道保持和智能自適應(yīng)巡航控制等系統(tǒng)。這類系統(tǒng)仍然需要駕駛員保持對道路的注意力,它們僅被歸類為1級和2級自動駕駛技術(shù)。允許司機目光離開道路的3級技術(shù)還沒有包括在內(nèi),更不用說4級與5級。
Mobileye的競爭對手眾多,從芯片制造商英偉達到谷歌旗下的自動駕駛子公司W(wǎng)aymo,再到資金充裕的初創(chuàng)公司,比如Argo AI。這些還沒有包括像特斯拉這樣自力更生的汽車制造商,以及蘋果和亞馬遜這樣尚未展示自己產(chǎn)品的大型科技公司。
本周一,英特爾股價午盤上漲1%,福特股價下跌3%。但受新冠疫情影響,投資者對汽車行業(yè)的迅速復(fù)蘇并沒有十足信心。
福特在本周一的聲明中還表示,將在下一代汽車中采用Mobileye的芯片、傳感器和軟件,包括最暢銷的F-150皮卡以及新型電動SUV野馬Mach-E。雖然福特的合作伙伴沒有透露合作的財務(wù)細(xì)節(jié),但福特汽車將在相關(guān)車輛上顯示Mobileye的名稱與徽標(biāo)。
英特爾于2017年以150億美元收購了以色列計算機科學(xué)家阿農(nóng)?沙舒亞的創(chuàng)意產(chǎn)品Mobileye。如今,該技術(shù)部門是英特爾增長最快的部門之一,第一季度收入增長22%,達到2.54億美元。但這對英特爾來說仍然是小部分收益,該公司的個人電腦與服務(wù)器芯片業(yè)務(wù)在本季度帶來170億美元的收入。而Mobileye的營收為8800萬美元,增長了29%,與個人電腦和服務(wù)器77億美元的營收相比相形見絀。(財富中文網(wǎng))

As the battle to supply the global auto industry with technology for self-driving vehicles heats up, Intel’s Mobileye notched a big win on Monday.
The company said it had struck a deal with Ford, the fourth-largest car company in the world by volume, to supply current versions of its EyeQ camera-based gear and software (with some tweaks) across Ford’s global product line.
“By customizing Mobileye’s excellent software and sensing technology, Ford’s great driver-assist features will continue to evolve and provide customers with confidence on the road throughout the life of their vehicles,” Lisa Drake, chief operating officer for Ford in North America said in a statement.
But Ford isn’t leaping entirely into the self-driving future quite yet. The deal covers systems like collision warning, automatic lane keeping, and adaptive cruise control. Those kinds of systems, which require the driver to maintain their attention on the road, are categorized only as Level 1 and Level 2 self-driving technology. Level 3 technology, which enables drivers to take their eyes off the road, isn’t yet included, let alone Levels 4 and 5, enabling cars to drive without human interaction.
Mobileye is competing with a horde of rivals, from chipmaker Nvidia to Google’s Waymo unit to well-funded startups like Argo AI. And that’s not to mention carmakers with their own efforts, like Tesla, and Big Tech players yet to show their wares, like Apple or Amazon (which bought self-driving startup Zoox last month).
Shares of Intel gained 1% in midday trading on Monday. Ford shares lost 3% as investors fretted that the auto industry would not recover quickly from the current pandemic-induced sales slowdown.
In Monday’s announcement, Ford said it would use Mobileye’s chips, sensors, and software in its upcoming next generation of vehicles including its top-selling F-150 pickup truck and new electric SUV, the Mustang Mach-E. The partners did not release the financial terms of the deal, but said that Ford cars will display Mobileye’s name and logo in vehicles that include the technology.
Intel bought Mobileye, the brainchild of Israeli computer scientist Amnon Shashua, for $15 billion in 2017, expecting it might take years for the technology bet to pay off. Now the unit is one of the fastest-growing parts of Intel, with revenue up 22% to $254 million in the first quarter. But it’s still a drop in the bucket at Intel, where chips for PCs and servers brought in $17 billion in the quarter. Mobileye’s operating income of $88 million, up 29%, was likewise dwarfed by PC and server operating income of $7.7 billion.
