Mobileye founder Amnon Shashua is stepping down as CEO to focus on humanoid robotics development, whilst the company forecasts a 5-6% revenue drop for Q3, triggering a 15% single-day share fall. Shashua will transition to chairman and focus on longer-term innovation, including the $900m Mentee Robotics acquisition, whilst a new CEO will lead the established autonomous-driving and ADAS business.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Robotics and Autonomous Vehicles. 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's founder just split the company in two: one CEO owns the cash-generating autonomous-driving business, another owns his bet on humanoids. If you're building robotics hardware or software that needs to scale on a platform, you now have a proven buyer with $125k annual revenue per deployed unit and a $900m appetite for acquisitions.
