Intel is shutting down its business dedicated to making processors for cars. In a memo seen by The Oregonian<\/em><\/a>, Intel tells workers that it plans to lay off \u201cmost\u201d employees in the division, citing plans to shift focus to its \u201ccore client and data center portfolio.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs part of this work, we have decided to wind down the automotive business within our client computing group,\u201d Intel writes in the memo. \u201cWe are committed to ensuring a smooth transition for our customers.\u201d Intel didn\u2019t immediately respond to The Verge<\/em>\u2019s request for comment.<\/p>\n

Over the years, Intel has invested heavily in its automotive business, which builds chips that power a car\u2019s infotainment system, instrument clusters, and other controls. Intel\u2019s technology runs in more than 50 million vehicles<\/a>, and up until now, it seemed set on expanding its reach. Last year, it announced new AI-enhanced chips for cars<\/a> that will help improve a vehicle\u2019s navigation system and voice assistant. It revealed plans to bring its Arc GPU<\/a> to cars as well.<\/p>\n

Intel also acquired<\/a> the self-driving car technology company Mobileye for $15 billion in 2017. Mobileye later went public<\/a> as a standalone company, but Intel still owns a majority stake.<\/p>\n

Intel\u2019s newly appointed CEO, Lip-Bu Tan, said in April that the company<\/a> would need to \u201creduce the size\u201d of its workforce in the second quarter of 2025 as part of plans to get the chipmaker back on track. The company also informed employees of layoffs coming to its foundry business as well, according to The Oregonian<\/em><\/a>, and a recent WARN (Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification) notice in California suggests layoffs impacting<\/a> 107 employees at its Santa Clara headquarters.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
