Mobileye has introduced a new series of electronic control units (ECUs) designed to support a range of driving automation levels, from advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) to fully autonomous vehicles.
The series, powered by Mobileye’s EyeQ6H chip, offers three configurations—SuperVision, Chauffeur, and Drive—each tailored to different levels of automation while minimizing development risks for automakers.

“Mobileye’s new ECU series bridges the gap between ADAS and full autonomy, providing a scalable and modular approach that allows manufacturers to transition smoothly as technology and regulations advance,” the company said in a statement.
The SuperVision configuration supports hands-off, eyes-on driving, featuring 11 cameras and optional radar to assist with high-speed navigation and automated parking. Chauffeur expands on this by introducing additional sensors, including lidar, to enable hands-off, eyes-off driving in specific conditions. Drive, the most advanced configuration, is designed for Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) applications, utilizing four EyeQ6H chips and an extensive sensor suite to enable fully autonomous operation.

At the core of these solutions, the EyeQ6H chip integrates fixed-function and general-purpose processing, capable of handling over 1,000 frames per second from surround cameras. Its efficiency allows automakers to adopt a shared hardware and software platform, streamlining the transition from ADAS to higher levels of autonomy.
Mobileye’s modular approach aims to reduce development time and costs, offering carmakers flexible pathways toward autonomous driving while adapting to evolving regulatory landscapes.
