Behind the Intel-Volkswagen Israel Taxi Venture
Through its Mobileye subsidiary, Intel (INTC) is forming a joint venture with Volkswagen to enter the Israeli taxi services market. The companies are aiming to launch what would be Israel’s first ride-hailing service using cars capable of driving themselves. To do so, Mobileye and Volkswagen are joining forces with Israeli car importer Champion Motors, and each company will play a specific role in helping the plan succeed.
