This is Amazing Lewbo!
Such a pity the SP isn't reflective of all this positivity, I really can't see Paul getting his freebies at this rate.
Come on SEE, give us some gold FFS!
Hi Lewbo,
Thanks.
Thanks Lewbo. Great read. I'd forgotten so many details.
Btw, looking forward to a Fleet telematics section in the near future. I believe we already have Mix Telematics, Eroad and Geotab but expect some significant additions in due course.
In addition to the passive safety configuration, the Haval H6 National Trend Edition has also achieved better driving safety with the blessing of many advanced technologies. The standard 7 active safety protection functions of the whole system help the driver to better control the vehicle, as far as possible. Avoid dangerous situations. The fatigue driving monitoring function can identify the current mental state of the driver through high-frequency calculations. If the driver is found to be fatigued and unsuitable to continue driving, it will give a visual and audible alarm through the instrument to keep the driver away from fatigued driving. Reduce security risks.

Cheers Map
Started reading it but it may aswell be in Chinese as not technical.
Good ole Colin will no doubt write a piece in laymans language for a Tech Numpty like me iam sure.
Great work Lewbo. Every tech fund manager should have a copy on his desk....
What a piece of work that is! I'd vote up 10 times if I could. Thanks Lewbo
Maps,
All very detailed, it's as if SEE wrote it.
Weeds out the s h i t dms providers.
New Euro NCAP assessment protocols, which come into effect in Jan 2023 should also give SEE a boost.
Look at 3.5: https://cdn.euroncap.com/media/67892/euro-ncap-assessment-protocol-sa-safe-driving-v1001.pdf
Hi Terry, I think the last count was that from the beginning of the year the staff upside was around 80-85 positions filled. For a company of the size of SEE, that can only be classed as substantial and they certainly wouldn't have increased it by that amount for no reason :)
Seems like a massive ramp up in Marketing going on.
Autosense added yesterday but this was interesting.
Guardian Live
Guardian’s live database and weekly reports help management to understand individual driver behaviours and to analyse fatigue and distraction events in terms of the time of day, the location and speed of the vehicle.
Guardian Integration
Guardian integrates seamlessly with telematics providers MiX Vision (by MiX Telematics), Geotab and others through a message queue service on the cloud.
Guardian has intervened in more than 70,000 fatigue events and detected more than 3,500,000 distraction events worldwide.
Don’t leave safety to chance – get Guardian on board
Road accidents and the commercial transport industry. All too often they go hand in hand. With any luck, all that might happen is a schedule disruption, but if you’re unlucky, cargo may be damaged, people may be injured, or – in everyone’s worst-case scenario – lives may be lost.
Now, you can stop accidents before they happen, with Guardian, by Seeing Machines. Guardian is an intelligent driver safety solution that uses in-cab sensors to monitor in real time the driver’s levels of fatigue and distraction.
How the system works
Face- and gaze-tracking algorithms measure the driver’s head position and eye closure and, when safety parameters are exceeded, audio alarms and seat vibration are immediately activated. Guardian also features a forward-facing camera which captures critical information about road conditions at the time of the event.
When a fatigue or distraction event is detected, data and footage are immediately relayed to the 24/7 Guardian Centre, which then alerts fleet management and allows them to respond in real time to the developing situation in the cab.

How many now from 2021 Dec? We must of taken on 60-70 staff in 6 months.
History is littered with horrendous coach crashes around the World ,resulting in substantial loss of life & driver fatigue is likely to be a major factor .Many passengers should feel comforted by the presence of our system & hopefully competitors who lose business to those offering extra safety features will compel them to contact SEE
Judging by the drop of career vacancies on the SEE website dropping to four, it looks as though SEE are getting fully resourced. Still one or two senior vacancies including a Director role, but it looks like SEE are almost there for the time being.

Yes it seems using safety tech as a sales tool & reason to use the Company. Best the sales team start knocking on the doors in the industry. Its a massive market.
The UK coach market on its own is massive opportunity. Estimated 3 million coaches in UK.

What's great about that is it is on the bookings page, so they are highlighting SM tech as a reason to book their coaches, surely means any coach one books on would have our tech
They must be ramping up installations...Adding this
Fatigue Monitoring
A camera system monitors the driver's state of alertness, wellbeing and focus on the road ahead in real-time and if triggered, will automatically and immediately alert the driver.
The technology also gathers data over time to help drivers understand and improve their performance.

The coronavirus pandemic has slowed auto development and production, but manufacturers’ plans to introduce electric vehicles (EVs) continue unabated. In fact, dozens of pure electric models are set to debut by the end of 2024.
https://www.consumerreports.org/hybrids-evs/hot-new-electric-cars-are-coming-soon-a1000197429/
Nearly eleven years ago, when I became CEO of Seeing Machines, we looked forward to this moment in time, believing autonomous vehicles would be just around the corner. In fact, automakers predicted cars without steering wheels would hit the market in 2023 or 2024—or that steering columns would disappear into the dashboard.
Now, it’s 2022, and we’ve come to understand that while this might be true someday, realizing the potential of automated driving will take longer than we originally anticipated.
Falling short of the goal post can be a disheartening reality for those who’ve dedicated years to advancing this tech. However, it doesn’t mean all the work that’s been put into autonomy has gone to waste. We’re just applying it differently, and I’d say it’s proven to be more relevant than ever.
Distracted driving remains the number one killer of teenage drivers in countries like the U.S., Canada, the U.K., and Australia—and the technology originally intended to drive the vehicle can now be a powerful tool in assisting the driver.
In-cabin and driver monitoring will be critically important to improving on-the-road and off-the-road safety. By understanding what’s going on outside of the vehicle and what the driver is available for, the system can act like a guardian angel, taking over when needed and keeping passengers out of trouble.
In-cabin monitoring presents some unique challenges, though.
When people think of different sensor modalities, they automatically think of what’s occurring outside the vehicle—what the vehicle is seeing around them. That’s an easier challenge to address. The outside world is square-edged and predefined—signs on the side of a road, stop lines, other cars of similar shape, size, and made of metal.
Interior monitoring is more difficult to execute as we humans are actually quite squishy. When you think about the regionalization around ethnicity, age, gender, facial hair, sunglasses, hats, and then, more recently, the use of masks—we’re all very different.
Additionally, the system must understand what the driver is available to execute. Can they respond in time to something the system sees outside the car? From there, it needs to broaden its understanding further to take in what everyone else in the vehicle is doing. How many people are in the car? How big are they and where are they sitting? What are their arms and heads doing? Could their actions impact the driver’s ability to respond to a threat?
Working together, these interior and exterior systems will paint an incredible picture that enables the car to understand what the driver can do—and what it has to do to help the driver when they can’t.

You and me both Terry.
I can literally feel the momentum building, either that or I ate too many baked beans for lunch. Just need Toyota and we have the full set in auto. Tesla can either come begging or look like numpties (no offence Numpti mate) when Fisker launch the Ocean later this year.

Yes they are both small but so was Apple and Amazon one day lol. Lets hope some nice stuff brewing in Fleet and aviation :)
My head alarm awake every day waiting for that life changing RNS to arrive at 7am every Week day...
Well done Schnorrer and thanks for pointing it out Seeing2020. So we probably have big news coming in a few weeks. I can't SEE PM letting those shares go down the dunny when he and his team have done such a great job.
Cubo news is good but they're small fry. I want to hear about a fleet license deal with a huge European telematics company. That would boost revenues very quickly and really impact the share price. C'mon Paul, light up that barbie and I'll get the beers.
We showing in Turkey Bus show this week with these

Love to know how Fleets doing? Will fill my van up at a shell garage and buy a Coke i reckon.
Schnorrer has hit on a great point, hadn't spotted that myself I thought it was a simple average of 30 trading days
VWAP
Volume-weighted average price (VWAP) is a ratio of the cumulative share price to the cumulative volume traded over a given time period. The measure often serves as a benchmark for comparing trade executions. The VWAP uses intraday data.
These Vehicles Can Almost Drive Themselves
At the moment, fully autonomous vehicles don’t exist, and though some automakers and technology companies are getting closer and closer to coming out with fully autonomous vehicles, they're still years away.
Still, there are a few vehicles that offer advanced driver assistance features that make them close to being able to drive themselves. Most of the systems on this list are meant to make long drives less taxing on the highway by handling some or all of the steering and maintaining a set distance and speed behind a lead vehicle.
Some of these systems, like Cadillac’s Super Cruise and Ford’s BlueCruise offer hands-free driving on pre-mapped highways. Others have specific parameters, like only being able to operate under a certain speed limit and on properly marked roads. If you’re looking for a car that can do a lot of driving on its own, these vehicles will fit the bill.
