Mobileye, an Israeli technology company recently acquired by Intel, is preparing to deploy a fleet of a Self-driving vehicles around the world.

The first vehicles arrive later this year, and the fleet will eventually scale to more than 100 cars. These will be sourced from a variety of automotive brands. The U.S., Israel, and Europe will serve as testing grounds for these highly automated vehicles.

“Geographic diversity is very important as different regions have very diverse driving styles as well as different road conditions and signage,” Mobileye boss Amnon Shashua said in a release. “Our goal is to develop autonomous vehicle technology that can be deployed anywhere, which means we need to test and train the vehicles in varying locations.”

The autonomous cars will leverage technology from both Mobileye and Intel. Mobileye brings to the table its collision detection software, while Intel offers its expertise in chip technology.

“Neither company could do this alone,” Shashua said. “Given resident skill-sets within the two companies, a standalone fleet of test vehicles is possible almost immediately.”

Shashua says Intel’s fleet will accelerate the rollout of driverless cars while reducing costs for the auto industry. By learning from the data that is collected over the course of the test run, Intel can help automakers save lots of money on development.

The vehicles will be capable of Level 4 autonomy as defined by SAE. Achieving “high automation,” Level 4 cars can make important decisions such as accelerating, braking, and changing lanes by themselves.

Last year, BMW announced it was partnering with Intel and Mobileye to create a platform the industry can use to develop self-driving cars. Delphi has since joined the collaboration. BMW wants to bring a self-driving car to mass production by 2021, just like many other automakers that are targeting next decade for introducing autonomous vehicles.
