In an interview George Hotz said he told Elon to drop Mobileye. George is repeating how bad that company is.

So it seems not only Tesla thinks Mobileye can't keep up with safety. Others noticed this too.

You seem to be confused. Tesla was the one who got dropped by Mobileye.

Maybe you should read the article (or heck even the headline).

"No matter how you spin it, (Autopilot) is not designed for that. It is a driver assistance system and not a driverless system," Shashua said. This implies that Tesla's customers were not using the system as designer and possibly didn't want negative publicly of such affecting its business

The article never stated anything about Tesla dropping Mobileye either but implied the opposite.

"According to a Tesla spokesperson in a statement sent to Electrek today, Mobileye tried to convince Tesla to keep using its system for future generations of the Autopilot, but when it became apparent that Tesla was sticking to its new in-house system, which the company confirmed today is called ‘Tesla Vision’, they threaten to discontinue supply of the EyeQ3 chip to cripple the current version of the Autopilot."

The unreasonable demands Mobileye made are listed in the below article I lifted the above quote from.
