Stellantis will use technology from Intel’s Mobileye to power Level 2 hands-free driving features across its vehicle brands, the companies announced Tuesday.
Starting in 2027, Stellantis will adopt Mobileye’s EyeQ system-on-a-chip and Road Experience Management (REM), a data-crowdsourcing program that uses real-time information from Mobileye-equipped vehicles to build a global 3D map. The system is designed to enable “hands-free, eyes-on driving and intelligent lane keeping on unmarked roads in designated areas and conditions,” according to Mobileye.

Stellantis' existing and planned driver assistance systems
Automakers are adding more advanced driver-assistance systems, or ADAS, which can improve safety but are primarily viewed as highway convenience features. The technology is also seen as a step toward higher levels of automation and a potential source of subscription and software revenue. Estimates project that ADAS revenue will reach $90 billion over the next decade.
Stellantis already offers Hands-Free Active Driving Assist in some Jeep and Ram models, although it has been less aggressive than rivals such as Ford and GM. Last year, it introduced STLA AutoDrive, a “hands-free, eyes-off” system intended to help drivers reclaim “valuable time” in stop-and-go traffic. Developed with UK-based self-driving company Wayve, STLA AutoDrive is expected to launch in 2028.
Mobileye said Stellantis' addition means it now supplies five of the world’s ten largest automakers contributing data to REM. The company says REM covers more than 95 percent of public roads in the United States and Europe, using data from over 8 million vehicles that collectively logged 34 billion miles last year. Mobileye reported $558 million in first-quarter 2026 revenue, up 27 percent year over year.
