MobileEye (Intel) has risen to be one of the potential robocar leaders. This is a 27 minute interview with Amnon Shashua, founder CEO of MobileEye and one of the most astute players in the field. I dig into 4 technical issues listed below. If you want an introduction to MobilEye's strategy, with a contrast to Tesla's strategy, see the text article, or Shashua's own videos. They seem to be doing a lot of things right. Can they deliver?
At one point I describe Tesla FSD of having an MTBF of minutes, sometimes seconds. In that case I mean any problem, after that Amnon clarifies he means an accident. Tesla isn't quite that bad by his definition of MTBF.
