How fast the NN processing has become !! Amazing

I truly look forward to seeing our customers and partners at CES next week. Seeing Machines will be there with a powerhouse line-up of technology! See y’all soon!

As more details emerge from the Mitsubishi press release, the tech stack Mitsubishi has in mind is becoming clear -

" Mitsubishi Electric Mobility aims to expand business in the rapidly growing DMS market by

combining Seeing Machines' strength in core sensing technology for high-precision detection of face orientation and

eye movement through image processing, and Mitsubishi Electric Mobility’s strength in advanced state estimation

technologies for detecting drowsy driving and passenger health abnormalities in an in-vehicle environment.

"

Mitsubishi is calling this TURNIP AI - TIME-SERIES U-NET WITH RECURRENCE

FOR NIR IMAGING PPG

the IEEE paper https://www.merl.com/publications/docs/TR2021-099.pdf

The functional diagram is captured well in this link -

https://www.mitsubishielectric.com/news/2023/0418.html

Imaging photoplethysmograph is the process of estimating

the waveform of a person’s pulse by processing a video of their face

to detect minute color or intensity changes in the skin, so essentially with some time series and NN Mitsubishi claims to have the heart beat detection patents with least error

So SEE gets Heartbeat detection from Mitsubishi, and Mitsubishi gains the best DMS

Https://global.nissannews.com/en/releases/241223-02-e

Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. ("Nissan"), Honda Motor Co., Ltd. ("Honda"), and Mitsubishi Motors Corporation ("Mitsubishi Motors") have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to explore the possibility of Mitsubishi Motors’ participation, involvement, and synergy sharing in relation to the business integration through the establishment of a joint holding company outlined in an MOU signed between Nissan and Honda.

PMG liked it on linkedln

Recent news LG is bringing rear view mirror DMS OMS, the launch is mid 2026. if you look at the product roadmap below, as far as i know its SEE and OEM is merc

Today's interview PMG talked of Magan, and i am just reading between the lines here, it felt that we might be looking to end the exclusive license?

big news flow expected from CES PMG says

Mitsubishi might have a board seat too soon

Its strange that no one has yet made any deals with SmartEye. Given that we are supposed to be technically similar why does SEE end up with all the partnerships

Jees, they took 20 percent stake, wow

A research paper on comparison of some driver monitoring systems

https://www.aaa.asn.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/AAA-Fatigue-detection-technology-summary-report-Nov24.pdf

One of the products being compared is from Geobox

https://geobox.com.au/product/driver-fatigue-monitor-truck-heavy-vehicles-dfm-hv-pro/

Geobox is an emerging camera-based ocular system. While fatigue alarms from this system were also associated with sleep deprivation and

impaired driving, and the system accurately predicted mild, moderate and severe driving risk,

it was slightly less accurate relative to Guardian, detecting 21% of mild events, 29% of

moderate events and 48% of severe events, compared to 31%, 52% and 66% of detected events

by the Guardian system

From a false alarm perspective, the Guardian system was also

favourable with 14% of alarms being false for mild impairment compared to 53% for Geobox

@terry, that correct we are in Merc through LG, for many years now

@Maps that's correct, i remember italian job being a presentation for Bianca

:) good spot

Tiguan being Volkswagen's best-selling model and 633,000 units were sold in 2023, good news for volume rampup

Here comes the Magna SEE dms mirror in tiguan. new gen vehicles Its a brief glimpse but from 13.48 you can see the lights flashing for a few secs.

the platform is shared by Cupra Terramar, watch at 30.40

VW models are ramping up

@MakhandaMatt

The auditors were present too, to answer any questions. But no questions were put to them. Katie hill mentioned going concern and it was in regards to that she mentioned the two points, that they are arranging for receivable funding and its in progress

Oops my bad, later part of the financial year not calendar year

Today's meeting Ktei Hill informed

1. SEE is progressing to get upto 10 million in receivable funding, talks progressing and they feel confident

2. Cash run positive expected later part of 2025

receivable funding 10 mill is very positive

And again, just to make the point, there is no other vendor for DMS i know of, that has a working DMS for a L2+ use case

Merc Drive Pilot uses SEE

BMW BMW Personal CoPilot will use SEE

GM Suoercruise SEE

Ford BlueCruise SEE

its very unlikely GM selects a vendor to replace SEE for L2+, however GM has been known to do stupid things, their Cruise experiment for example

@SEEING, There are two aspects to GM DMS, one is the Super Cruise which is L2+ system, which uses Seeing machines DMS and basic DMS in other models.

Its clear that SEYE has got the contract for basic DMS cars, but as to the Super Cruise models, that is still not clear. Its much harder to replace the DMS in any L2 + system, as it involves a long test dev cycle as DMS is deeply integrated in the stack for semi autonomous driving. Replacing the DMS from another vendor carries a substantial risk.

You can read the whitepapers on DMS to understand why not all vendors can supply a DMS that works well for all pupil types, for example. Thus there is a significant risk and OEMs will not easily switch DMS vendor when you have L2+ use case.

in future if and when DMS standards and test protocols are well developed, it might be easier.

So the assumption is the L2+ i.e. supercruise models stay with SEE, and all other models are SYEYE.

All Cadillac models are Supercruise, as far as i understand
