◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
A founder admitting the company is now bigger than the vision that built it signals the autonomous-driving market is moving from R&D to production execution—and Mobileye just cleared its decks to compete on operations, not innovation alone. If you're selling to autonomous vehicle stacks or robotics platforms, you're now dealing with a management team optimised for scale, not invention.
