Roundtable Discussion; The Future of Mineral Sands. Watch the video here.
I hope so Terry. Bombardier are boasting about having the most advanced ****pit . They have a HUD but perhaps should also complement that with eye tracking in order to stay in front!
The Global 5500 and 6500's ****pit has Collins Aerospace Pro Line Fusion avionics, including an "enhanced vision system" (which provides infrared images of the outside world via a head-up display) and a "synthetic vision system" (which provides computer-generated images).
Pilots can choose between synthetic or enhanced vision, though Bombardier is working with Collins to roll out a combined vision system that will mesh the images into a single display.
"We still have a couple of things in the bag that are going to be coming up," says Boudreault. "We believe today that we have the most advanced ****pit."

These share awards seem to precipitate a fall every time. I hope news is forthcoming on the aviation front that will push the SP up again.
I see Thales are in the news for their wearable HUD?

Is this in any way similar to what we're doing in aviation? I am not really up with this as I should be, though I started a new job fairly recently and it's perhaps better for me that I am no longer constantly looking at these boards lol
The anticipated 8 further RFQs would supposedly be issued in the 2nd half of this year. They're likely delayed as tends to happen in the auto space.
As regards the interview, I thought some good questions at the end. PM says we expect 'material' news on avaition this year so the clock is ticking!
Infra red camera apparently. never heard of of Datik though

Looks like these folks are trying something else instead of SEE (Datik instead). I don't get it

So waymo were working on semi autonomous cars, but decided against continuing on this path because employees were falling asleep at the wheel.
I guess John Krafcik has never heard of SEE, whose tech could solve this issue!
In light of the NTSB report in to that Tesla crash in Jan of 2018, and it's criticisms of the autopilot design which "permitted the driver to disengage from the driving task", I would have thought there would be some pressure on autonomous vehicle companies in the US to adopt BDMS or similar. Time will tell.
They're testint 'level 4' in Virginia. I hope they order some BDMS units to assist with this!

Hi Ken,
How much of an obstruction do the Trade Unions present to the take up of Guardian? I know that Unite here in the UK seem to be aginst Guardian being installed on London buses, I just wonder if this is the same in Australia and elsewhere.
We're still show as a 'sucker stock' on stockopedia algorithims. I guess auto order book doesn't count so we're not going to get on any stock screens anytime soon.
Incidentally, I was looking at microfocus a while back in part because of the divi. I saw the fall the other week and out of interest checked stockopedia which showed it as a 'Super Stock'. Sure, it generates lots of cash but it also has £3.8 billion debt and that's not good in my view. In essence it all seems to be about the cash flow and the rest doesn't matter!
