Many are the technology companies that, after many attempts, finally see how now, thanks to the autonomous car, they can finally enter a more than attractive market segment such as the motoring sector with the approval and even the collaboration of brands already working on it.
Due to this, it is not surprising that certain movements are beginning to be made, such as the one that has been recently confirmed by both Intel as per the company MobileEye whereby, as has been officially communicated, the latter becomes the property of Intel after the payment of 15.000 million.
Intel enters the autonomous car market by buying MobilEye.
As a detail, tell you that this pact not only unites the two companies but that there is also a car manufacturer that has been involved in it, specifically we are talking about BMW, a company that plans to have more than 40 fully autonomous test vehicles on all roads in the world before the end of this year 2017.
Now, Why was Intel specifically interested in MobilEye and not another? This question has a very simple answer and that is that MobilEye is the creator of Tesla's autopilot, or at least the first version of it since, after the fatal accident that a company customer suffered many months ago, Tesla decided Dispense with this version of the autopilot to focus on developing your own alternatives.
Without a doubt, we are facing a new movement from Intel that makes it clear that the company is more interested than ever in its horizontal development and not so much in continuing to focus on the segment of microprocessors for all types of computers, the Internet of Things, data centers, memory chips ... Of course they are market niches that the company is not planning to abandon.
