 Mahindra Picks Mobileye ADAS for Future Vehicles

Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. is taking a significant step toward more advanced vehicle safety and automation by selecting Mobileye Global Inc.’s SuperVision and Surround advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) for at least six of its upcoming vehicle models. Mobileye confirmed that production under this programme is expected to begin in 2027, marking a major technological upgrade for Mahindra’s future vehicle lineup.

Under this collaboration, Mobileye will serve as a Tier-1 supplier, meaning it will be directly responsible for providing and integrating its ADAS technology into Mahindra’s vehicles. The systems will be powered by Mobileye’s EyeQ6 High (EyeQ6H) system-on-chip, which is designed to handle complex perception, computing, and real-time decision-making tasks required for advanced driver assistance. The programme will span multiple Mahindra models planned for launch not only in India but also in other global markets.

Unified ADAS Architecture for Smarter Vehicles

Both the SuperVision and Surround ADAS platforms will be integrated into a single electronic control unit developed by Mobileye. This unit will combine several key functions, including vehicle perception through cameras and sensors, Road Experience Management (REM) intelligence, automated driving capabilities, driver and occupant monitoring, and advanced parking assistance features.

This consolidated architecture aligns with Mahindra’s broader strategy of streamlining vehicle electronics, reducing system complexity, and improving overall performance and reliability. By integrating multiple safety and automation functions into one central system, the company aims to create a more seamless and efficient in-vehicle experience.

How SuperVision and Surround Systems Differ

Mobileye’s SuperVision system represents a more advanced ADAS setup. It uses 11 cameras, optional radar sensors, and two EyeQ6H chips. This configuration is designed to support point-to-point navigate-on-pilot functions under defined conditions, meaning the vehicle can assist with driving from one location to another with minimal driver intervention. It also includes sophisticated parking assistance and continuous driver monitoring to ensure safe operation.

The Surround ADAS system, while slightly less advanced, still offers strong capabilities. It relies on five cameras, multiple radars, and a single EyeQ6H chip. This setup is designed to enable hands-off but eyes-on highway driving in specific conditions, along with parking support and driver monitoring features. Together, these systems allow Mahindra to offer different levels of automated driving support across its vehicle range.

Growing ADAS Adoption in India

The decision comes at a time when ADAS technology is gaining traction in India. Increasing consumer awareness of vehicle safety, along with regulatory initiatives like the Bharat New Car Assessment Program (Bharat NCAP), is pushing automakers to adopt more advanced safety features. Industry analysts expect ADAS penetration in the Indian market to rise steadily over the next few years as manufacturers introduce safer and more intelligent vehicles.

Expanding a Longstanding Collaboration

Mahindra and Mobileye are not new partners. The two companies have previously worked together on ADAS solutions based on Mobileye’s EyeQ4M and EyeQ6L chips, which are already deployed in some Mahindra models sold in India. The latest agreement expands this partnership to higher-level ADAS platforms and future vehicle programmes, reflecting a deeper technological alignment between the two companies.

Mobileye’s President and CEO, Amnon Shashua, said the deal highlights Mahindra’s commitment to advanced safety technologies and reinforces Mobileye’s investment in India as a key localisation and production hub.

Listed on Nasdaq, Mobileye is a global leader in driver-assistance and autonomous driving technology, supplying systems to major automakers worldwide. With this new collaboration, Mahindra is positioning itself at the forefront of intelligent mobility in India and beyond.
