Intel-owned autonomous driving tech company Mobileye files for an IPO
Intel’s acquisition of Mobileye is officially complete
The companies announced the finalized deal today.


In March, Intel announced the acquisition of Mobileye, a company it has partnered with to develop self-driving automobile technology. And as of today, the $15.3 billion deal is officially complete. Intel purchased 84 percent of Mobileye’s outstanding ordinary shares and the company is now an Intel subsidiary.
Mobileye is an Israel-based company and it will remain headquartered in Jerusalem under the leadership of co-founder Amnon Shashua. Ziv Aviram, Mobileye’s president and CEO has stepped down. A follow-up offer period for the remaining outstanding stock has commenced and will expire on August 21st.
“Leading in autonomous driving technology requires a combination of innovative proprietary software products and versatile open-system hardware platforms that enable customers and partners to customize solutions,” said Shashua in a statement. “For the first time, the auto industry has a single partner with deep expertise and a cultural legacy in both areas. Mobileye is very excited to begin this new chapter.”
