Mobileye is to use a high speed interconnect chipset from Valens in Israel for several driverless cars that are entering production.
The Valens VA7000 MIPI A-PHY-compliant chipsets will be used with the EyeQ6 High automated and autonomous production programmes underway with a group of global automotive brands. This marks a significant milestone for MIPI A-PHY standard for high-speed connectivity from sensors to the central compute system and highlights the move to produciton for driverless cars.
- Mobileye selected the VA7000 for this application following extensive testing of the chipset
- Valens in three MIPI A-PHY design wins
- Honda looks to commercial driverless car in 2026
“We are pleased to utilize Valens’ MIPI A-PHY-compliant VA7000 chipsets as a key component of the optical path that supports automated and autonomous driving platforms for this initial customer program,” said Elchanan Rushinek, executive vice president of engineering at Mobileye. “MIPI A-PHY delivers efficient and robust high-performance standardized connectivity and we look forward to working with Valens to broaden the MIPI A-PHY ecosystem and deliver this technology to more market-leading automakers.”
“Our collaboration with Mobileye, a market leader in ADAS and autonomous systems, is validation of the promise made by MIPI A-PHY,” said Gideon Ben-Zvi, CEO of Valens Semiconductor.
“SoCs can only ever be as good as the sensor data inputs they operate on, and Mobileye’s selection of our VA7000 chipset proves that our solution is well positioned to deliver that data at high accuracy. With a transformative company such as Mobileye validating the performance of the Valens VA7000 A-PHY chip, this collaboration marks a significant milestone for the entire automotive industry.”
