Until now Mobileye has used chips mainly supplied by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC).

Samsung Foundry, a unit of Samsung Electronics, will produce semiconductors for driver assistance systems (ADAS) to be used in Mobileye’s latest EyeQ4 system on chip (SoC) based on 7-28nm processes, according to local reports. EyeQ systems have been installed by BMW, Audi, Volvo, Tesla, Nissan and Geely.

Samsung Electronics is targeting automotive chips as a key source of future growth, by further developing the 5, 8 and 14nm processes while also increasingly focusing on 4 nm processes. The company said in a recent statement “We are accelerating chip production for autos and sharpening our competitive edge. We will also solidify our leadership in the foundry process and widen our global client base in self-driving cars”.
