The collision avoidance systems (I presume OP is speaking about) is aftermarket. That's a small part of Mobileye's business, but it is based on the same technology.

BMWs and other high end cars have had Mobileye as OEM for a long time, but the company itself is a bit of a legacy company and not always run well (and is based in Jerusalem which is even more legacy) - but like many Israeli tech stories has great tech.

Thanks, I wasn't aware of Mobileye's aftermarket products. For the curious:

I've noticed a bunch of these in Uber/Lyft cars in NYC, but didn't know what they were until I saw TechCrunch linked to a Mobileye press release about installing 4500 of these systems:

cool! So no need for the ultrasound sensors to be drilled in the back bumper for these for lane departure?
