Stellantis will add Mobileye technology to support hands-free driver-assistance features in its vehicles beginning in 2027, the companies said Tuesday. The deal matters because it gives one of the world’s large automakers a new supplier for advanced driving systems as carmakers push more software-based features into their vehicles.
The agreement covers Mobileye’s EyeQ system-on-a-chip and its Road Experience Management program, according to Mobileye and Stellantis. Mobileye says REM gathers real-time information from vehicles equipped with its systems to build a global three-dimensional road map.
Mobileye said the system will support Level 2 features, including hands-free, eyes-on driving and lane keeping on some roads without lane markings, limited to approved areas and conditions. Stellantis did not immediately identify which of its brands or models would receive the Mobileye equipment.
Stellantis is the parent company of Jeep, Chrysler, Dodge, Ram, Fiat, Peugeot, Citroën and other brands. The company already sells a Hands-Free Active Driving Assist feature on some Jeep and Ram vehicles, according to The Verge, but it has not promoted hands-free driving as aggressively as Ford and General Motors.
How the Mobileye system fits in
The Mobileye program adds another track to Stellantis’ automated-driving plans. The company last year introduced STLA AutoDrive, a hands-free, eyes-off system designed for stop-and-go traffic, according to The Verge.
Stellantis is developing STLA AutoDrive with Wayve, a self-driving technology company based in the United Kingdom, and expects that system to launch in 2028, The Verge reported. The Mobileye plan is scheduled to start a year earlier and is focused on Level 2 driver assistance, where the driver must remain attentive.
Mobileye said Stellantis’ participation means five of the world’s 10 largest automakers now contribute data to REM. The Jerusalem-based company says REM covers more than 95% of public roads in the United States and Europe.
Mobileye also says the mapping program draws information from more than 8 million vehicles. Those vehicles collectively recorded 34 billion miles last year, according to the company.
Driver-assist revenue draws automakers
Automakers have been adding more advanced driver-assistance systems, often called ADAS, to newer models. The Verge reported that these systems can improve safety in some cases, while many companies also market them as convenience tools for highway driving.
The systems are also viewed by automakers as a step toward higher levels of automated driving and as a way to increase software and subscription revenue, according to The Verge. Fortune Business Insights estimates the ADAS market will reach $90 billion over the next decade.
Mobileye reported $558 million in revenue for the first quarter of 2026. The company said that was a 27% increase from the same period a year earlier.
