Mobileye founder and CEO Amnon Shashua plans to step down from the top leadership post after nearly three decades, just as the company pushes into robotaxis and humanoid robots. 
Shashua will remain CEO until Mobileye hires a replacement, according to a regulatory filing Thursday. 
Under Shashua, Mobileye also moved beyond selling chips to automakers and began building its own systems that handle autonomous driving, which it now supplies to Volkswagen and its MOIA subsidiary. 
In January, the company acquired Shashua’s humanoid robotics startup Mentee Robotics for $900 million, which Shashua called part of “Mobileye 3.0,” the next phase of the business focused on robotics and automotive AI. 
Mobileye also said in June it would expand beyond its supplier status to launch its own robotaxi service in a U.S. city in 2027.
