Amnon Shashua, the founder of autonomous driving technology firm Mobileye, intends to step down as chief executive officer. The company announced Thursday that it has begun searching for a successor to lead the firm. Shashua is expected to transition to a director role and has been offered the position of chairman once a new CEO is in place.

Mobileye's announcement coincided with the release of its second-quarter financial results. The company reported revenue of $508 million, surpassing analyst expectations of $481.24 million. CEO Amnon Shashua attributed this performance to "strong momentum" within the company's core operations. This positive outlook is further bolstered by the company's preparations for several advanced product launches scheduled for late 2026 and throughout 2027.

Following the news, Mobileye's shares saw an 8% increase in premarket trading. The board of directors plans to engage an executive search firm to identify and select the most suitable candidate for the CEO position. Shashua's continued involvement as a director and potential chairman signals a commitment to a smooth leadership transition and ongoing strategic guidance for the company.
