Tesla Motors (TSLA), Mobileye Breakup Not Over Autopilot Safety, Elon Musk’s Company Says
September 18, 2016
Tesla Motors Inc.’s Autopilot has been in the news a lot of late, and not only because of the vehicles crashes involving (or not) the self-driving system or updates to it that would have prevented at least some of those crashes. On Wednesday, Tesla’s erstwhile partner in its Autopilot development, Israeli chipmaker Mobileye, said it had decided to split with the Elon Musk-owned company because of concerns over Autopilot, with Tesla “pushing the envelope in terms of safety.”
