Intel buys self-driving tech firm Mobileye for $15.3 billion

It is progressing as planned:
Bonus point: 2017 EyeQ4 has "Vehicle Detection from Any Angle" which means it now can react to fatal Tesla Autopilot Florida scenario--Lateral Turn Across Path (LTAP)
In the mean time, Tesla is planning to do a driverless LAX-NYC demo on December this year and plan to achieve consumer driverless feature in 2018. That's 2 years ahead of EyeQ5 production.
Because it took mobileye over a decade to bring a mediocre TACC system to market and within a year Tesla had the best implementation of mobileye hardware on the market. If you think about it people on here are complaining that Tesla hasn't yet surpassed 15+ years of mobileye R&D in a matter of months with AP2. If Tesla's own system reaches parity within a month or two from here, that is freaking super impressive, relatively speaking, but people will just whine that Elon was a few months behind his optimistic estimate. Putting aside Elon estimates, what Tesla actually accomplishes in given timeframes relative to competition is almost always incredibly impressive. Even things like the model X, if you ignore Elon optimitic estimates, the time-frame to bringing together a new ambitious 'from the ground up' high tech electric SUV in 4 years (including delays and slow ramp) is pretty impressive and well ahead of the industry standard.

Eh, doubt it. Now if Nvidia had purchased MobileEye, I could have seen them maybe using some kind of combined Nvidia/MobileEye hardware down the road.A rebound marriage?

I don't get the Mobileye hype and love in.
Intel's offer price is just bonkers, and is more like the desperation that Msft showed when buying Nokia.
Tesla would not have parted from Mobileye if their future depended on it.
I have every confidence that Tesla will achieve great things with AP2 even if ahem the 'road ahead is not always smooth'
Furthermore Tesla have yet again shown themselves to be disruptors, in leaving the masses to follow the established route whilst they carve a bold new path themselves. Hasn't worked out too bad so far.

Someone offers you a price for your stock at a premium to its current value and the stock price goes up.
Funny how that happens!
Plenty of people on my commute seem to be ahead of the curve.
Well I guess they couldn't buy NVidia, so somebody else's cast off will have to do
Tesla could not afford to buy Mobileye.
There is no evidence to support an assumption that Tesla's internal development effort is superior to mobileye.
