Stellantis partners with Mobileye for hands-free driving technology
New driver assist systems will debut in Jeep and Ram models starting in 2027.
1Major automotive collaboration
Stellantis will adopt Intel's Mobileye technology for Jeep, Ram, and other brands. Launching in 2027, this partnership covers Level 2 autonomous features. Mobileye's EyeQ chip and REM data network will enable hands-free driving in designated areas without steering wheel contact.
2REM's global network
Mobileye's Road Experience Management (REM) covers 95% of U.S. and European roads. Its 3D maps, built from data collected by 8 million vehicles, allow assist systems to function even on unmarked roads. The network logged 34 billion miles of data last year alone.
3Competition intensifies
Following Ford and GM, Stellantis joins the autonomous driving race. While its Hands-Free Active Driving Assist currently has limited availability, the 'eyes-off' STLA AutoDrive system developed with Wayve will launch in 2028 for stop-and-go traffic scenarios.
4Software revenue boom
ADAS systems will become cash cows for automakers through subscriptions and software sales. The market is projected to reach $90 billion in the next decade. Mobileye reported Q1 2026 revenue of $558 million, a 27% year-over-year increase.
5Safety or convenience?
While ADAS can reduce accidents, current adoption focuses mainly on highway comfort. Stellantis emphasizes 'reclaiming valuable time' in traffic with 'eyes-on' systems that maintain driver awareness, avoiding full disengagement during initial rollout phases.
6Industry at a tipping point
Mobileye now supplies tech to 5 of the world's top 10 automakers. Data-driven driving systems will bridge the gap to full autonomy. Stellantis' move signals a reshaping of consumer expectations and automotive standards in the coming decade.
