Here's Why You Should Retain Mobileye Stock in Your Portfolio Now
The rising demand for ADAS and autonomous driving features is fueling Mobileye's prospects. Its cutting-edge technology enhances automotive safety, productivity and vehicle utilization. As the auto industry accelerates toward self-driving vehicles, the company's innovative solutions like Supervision, Chauffeur, Drive and EyeQ strengthen its portfolio. MBLY is still securing new ADAS deals with its main customers and also finding promising opportunities with new clients. A major tailwind for Mobileye is the growing adoption of multi-camera setups, driven by stricter safety regulations and the push for hands-free highway driving in mass-market vehicles.Mobileye expects revenues and adjusted operating income to rise year over year in 2025. It estimates revenues in the range of $1.69-$1.81 billion, up from $1.65 billion recorded in 2024. The revenue forecast is based on EyeQ unit sales ranging from 32-34 million units. For the second quarter of 2025, it expects revenues to be up about 7% year over year.Strategic partnerships and significant design wins are pivotal to Mobileye's robust growth. With ZEEKR as its launch partner and design wins with automakers like Porsche, FAW, Mahindra and other major OEMs in 2023, Mobileye's prospects are soaring. In March 2024, Volkswagen deepened its partnership with Mobileye to integrate SuperVision and Chauffeur technologies for partially and highly automated driving into series production. In March 2025, Volkswagen announced a collaboration with Mobileye to enhance safety and driving comfort in the former's upcoming MQB-based vehicle portfolio.Mobileye's strong balance sheet, with $1.51 billion of cash/cash equivalents and zero debt as of March 25, 2025, also instills investors' confidence. This financial flexibility allows MBLY to tap into growth opportunities.
Mobileye expects production volume from its top 10 customers to be down 3-7% year over year in 2025. Its shipments of assisted driving technology to China are under pressure due to stiff competition from local players offering similar self-driving software at lower costs. High operating expenses, caused by rising employee compensation and increased military reserve investments, will likely clip operating income. Even though there will be savings from winding down the LIDAR unit, headcount-related cost pressures will keep overall operating expenses elevated, hindering potential income growth. MBLY expects 7% year-over-year growth in adjusted operating expenses in 2025.

Tesla Launches Compelling 2025 Model S Lease Deal for July
Tesla's flagship sedan has been largely unchanged since its debut in the luxury EV scene back in 2012, with a minor facelift for the 2017 model. Recently, the Model S received some changes that lengthen its life, including new, more efficient wheel designs, new adaptive headlights, updated suspension bits, more sound deadening, and active noise cancellation for a quieter ride. Even better, the Model S in non-Plaid trim bumps the range up a smidge from 402 to 410 and now benefits from an impressive lease deal for the month of July. July's Tesla Model S All-Wheel Drive lease is $1,199 per month for 36 months with a $7,500 down payment, $0 security deposit, and a $695 acquisition fee. The price includes a $7,500 leasing incentive. The total due at lease signing is $9,394, which includes the first month's payment of $1,199. Visit the Tesla website to make adjustments to the down payment, lease term, and annual mileage, and the system will update the monthly lease price accordingly. The mileage limit is 10,000 miles per year or 30,000 for the lease term. The monthly lease price excludes tax, license, title, registration, insurance, and additional options but does not include maintenance. A $395 disposition fee is due at the end of the lease term. Learn more here. The non-Plaid version of the Tesla Model S is powered by a 100-kWh battery pack, offering an EPA-estimated range of 410 miles. The output is 670 horsepower with two electric motors, one at the front and one at the rear. The regular Model S gets impressive acceleration, hitting 60 mph from a standstill in 3.1 seconds. If you don't think that's quick, it bests the 2025 BMW M3 Competition with all-wheel drive by about three-quarters of a second. The Model S All-Wheel Drive will top out at 130 mph, and a Tesla Supercharger will juice it up to 205 miles of range in just 15 minutes. Standard features include 19-inch wheels, 8 exterior cameras, a hands-free trunk, heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, a heated steering wheel, tri-zone automatic climate control, wireless device charging, 17.4-inch first-row and 9.4 second-row touchscreens, a dashcam, a 22-speaker audio system, and front and rear parking sensors. Standard safety tech includes supervised full self-driving, blind-spot collision warning, lane departure avoidance, lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, and forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking. The Tesla Model S remains one of the more appealing luxury EV sedans thanks to its attractive styling, impressive range, and robust performance. Even in regular trim, the Model S is one of the quickest mainstream EVs on the planet, and its range makes it a compelling choice against other luxury EV sedans that can't quite compete. Now might be one of the best times to explore this Model S lease deal, especially since there's no security deposit required. Before signing the lease agreement, make sure to account for all costs due at signing, including taxes and registration fees, etc. *Disclaimer: This article is provided for informational purposes only.

14 interesting facts about self-driving cars
14 interesting facts about self-driving cars While they may seem like something out of a sci-fi movie, driverless cars are quickly becoming part of the new normal. Here, Salvi, Schostok & Pritchard P.C. shares 14 interesting facts about self-driving cars. 1. The Idea of Driverless Cars Dates Back to the 1930s The original idea of driverless cars was introduced by General Motors in a 1939 exhibit and made a reality in 1958. 2. Waymo Was a Secret By now, most people have heard of Waymo, Google's launch into the self-driving car industry. Waymo vehicles have currently logged the most miles out of all the various autonomous vehicle models. However, Waymo began as a secret. The project was started by Sebastian Thrun, who led his robotics team at Stanford University to win the DARPA Grand Challenge. In 2012, a few years after beginning the project, Google revealed that its fleet of autonomous vehicles had driven over 300,000 miles. By 2020, the vehicles had logged more than 20 million miles on public roads. 3. Driverless Car Stats Are Showing Only More Growth More than 1,400 driverless vehicles are currently in 3 billion miles have been logged using Tesla's autopilot drove over 20 million miles across 25 U.S. logged more than 450,000 miles in California in one and Aptiv deployed more than 100,000 commercial Robo-taxis in Las global self-driving vehicles industry is currently expanding by 16% of self-driving vehicles are projected to be 58 million units by global autonomous vehicle market is expected to reach nearly $450 million by 2035. 4. There Are 6 Levels of Automation According to the Society of Automotive Engineers, there are six levels of driving automation that range from level 0 with no automation to level 5, a fully automated, driverless car. Here is more information about each level of automation. LEVEL 0: No automation The human driver is responsible for all driving actions. LEVEL 1: Driver assistance An Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) may assist the driver with basic driving functions, such as accelerating, braking, or steering. Adaptive cruise control is an example of Level 1 automation. This feature controls acceleration and braking, usually in highway driving. Drivers may be able to remove their foot from the pedal using Level 1 automation. LEVEL 2: Partial automation Partial automation allows the vehicle to perform more complex functions and simultaneous actions, such as controlling steering, accelerating, and braking. However, the human driver must continue to pay attention. Level 2 automation includes highway or traffic jam assistance. LEVEL 3: Conditional automation This is the first level where the human driver may be able to disengage from driving in certain situations, such as in good weather and traffic conditions. However, the driver must be able to reengage when the system requests it. The vehicle can stop in case of a failure. LEVEL 4: High automation The vehicle's autonomous driving system can monitor the driving environment and operate all driving functions for routine routes and conditions. The vehicle can alert the driver if there is something beyond its limits that requires the driver to take over. If the human driver does not respond, the vehicle will secure itself. LEVEL 5: Full automation No human driver is necessary at this level of automation because the vehicle is fully autonomous and can operate under any conditions. Humans may not be in the vehicle. Vehicles at this level of automation may not have a steering wheel or gas or brake pedals. 5. Autonomous Vehicles Rely on Many Sensors Autonomous vehicles are typically equipped with many different sensors. Sensors monitor various data points and feed this information into the vehicle's computer. There may be several sensors in the vehicle, including: Autonomous vehicles use sensors and other technologies to create a map of their surroundings. As they receive more information, they fill in more information on the map. They process the sensory input and plot a path based on it. The vehicles are also equipped with complex algorithms, predictive machine learning systems, and object recognition tools to help the software follow traffic rules and avoid collisions. 6. The NHTSA Has Identified Five Major Benefits of Autonomous Cars The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has identified five major advantages of autonomous vehicles. Safety Most serious car accidents are caused by human error, so the NHTSA believes that autonomous vehicles could be safer by removing human drivers and eliminating their potential mistakes. Economic and societal benefits Motor vehicle collisions cost more than $250 billion in economic activity each year. Car accidents cause injuries, property damage, lost workplace productivity, deaths, and decreased quality of life. Eliminating the major factor that causes these accidents (the human element) could save many of these costs. Efficiency and convenience Roads could be more easily maintained and regulated with autonomous vehicles. Drivers spent nearly 4 billion hours stuck in traffic delays in 2024 Mobility Driverless vehicles could help people with disabilities that prevent them from driving. Increased mobility could provide new pathways to employment and a higher quality of life. Environmental Driverless vehicles are usually electric, which can improve efficiency and spur less personal driving, resulting in significant environmental benefits. 7. Autonomous Cars Still Face Safety Challenges While these potential benefits are exciting, autonomous vehicles still face challenges that pose a threat to safety. Lidar and radar sensor limitations Most serious car accidents are caused by human error, so the NHTSA believes that autonomous vehicles could be safer by removing human drivers and eliminating their potential mistakes. Traffic Autonomous vehicles may struggle in highly congested areas. Driverless cars are more likely to be involved in rear-end collisions, so they may have difficulty maintaining a safe distance in bumper-to-bumper traffic. Security breaches Driverless vehicles may be more susceptible to manipulation due to hacking. Reliance on artificial intelligence Drivers may become overly reliant on the technology, putting themselves in situations where they cannot quickly take control of the vehicle. Software may malfunction, leading to other accidents. 8. Driverless Cars Might Be Safer Now A study by the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute, General Motors and Cruise published in late 2023 found that human rideshare drivers were more likely to be responsible for traffic crashes in San Francisco after reviewing data from 5.6 million miles of human rideshare drivers compared to 1 million miles of driverless rideshares. The researchers found that autonomous vehicles had 65% fewer collisions than humans. However, this technology is still being developed, so there may not be sufficient information to determine which set of drivers is really safer. 9. The First Pedestrian Death Involved an Uber Driver In 2018, a woman in Tempe, Arizona, was behind the wheel of a self-driving Uber vehicle that hit and killed a pedestrian. She was charged with negligent homicide and was believed to have been distracted by her phone at the time of the incident. The accident led to Arizona temporarily suspending driverless operations in the state. Uber's self-driving cars were involved in 37 minor accidents before the pedestrian death. 10. Driverless Cars Are More Likely to Be Involved in Rear-End Accidents A study published in a 2020 issue of the journal Transportation Research Procedia shows that out of the motor vehicle collisions studied in California between 2015 and 2017, 64.2% of those involving autonomous vehicles were rear-end accidents, compared to 28.3% of accidents involving conventional vehicles. 11. Most Autonomous Vehicle Accidents Occurred When the Vehicle Proceeds Straight The same study revealed that 65.2% of accidents involving autonomous vehicles occurred when the vehicle proceeded straight when it should not have. Other common driving maneuvers involving autonomous vehicles and how often they contributed to accidents include: 13% making a left turn8.7% making a right turn8.7% passing another vehicle2.2% changing lanes2.2% entering traffic 12. Driving at an Unsafe Speed Is the No. 1 Cause of Driverless Car Accidents The researchers also found the following driver errors in crashes involving autonomous vehicles: 13. Drivers Have Died While in 'Autopilot' To date, Tesla's Deaths database suggests 58 people have died in accidents involving the vehicle's autopilot program as of May 2025. 14. Driverless Cars Were Involved in Nearly 400 Crashes in 11 Months In June 2022, automakers reported nearly 400 crashes that involved vehicles with partially automated driver assistance systems over an 11-month period in 2021, according to the NHTSA. This included 273 crashes involving Tesla vehicles. This story was produced by Salvi, Schostok & Pritchard P.C. and reviewed and distributed by Stacker. © Stacker Media, LLC.
