Mobileye CEO Amnon Shashua is stepping down after nearly three decades as the company pivots to operating its own robotaxi fleet (launching 2027) and humanoid robotics via the $900m January 2026 acquisition of Mentee Robotics. The incoming CEO will inherit a company shifting from autonomous driving supplier to direct competitor with its own OEM customers.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Autonomous Vehicles and Robotics. Wire is Fusion42's founder-focused intelligence feed: each story is connected to the funds and startups it names — every one with a live profile on Raise or Scout — so founders can follow the capital and the momentum behind the headline rather than just the headline itself. Wire analysis is one of the live surfaces Arthur reasons over.

The Wire takeaway

Mobileye just turned itself into your competitor. If you sell autonomous driving or robotics tech to OEM buyers, Mobileye is now both your customer and your rival—and the next CEO will define whether it's serious about robotaxis or just hedge betting on humanoids.
