*Earthport

In recent times both Lavendon and Earport were taken out at a premium following bidding wars. I did hold Lavendon for a while - it always looked good vaue and paid a divi. I seem to remember Lavendon being close to a pound and in fairly short order taken out at about £2.70. Earthport was sub 10p and again in a fairly short time frame taken out for about 37/38p I think.

Yes, Eyeris tech sounds like it has more of a focus towards interior occupant and object sensing. Interesting that Bosch and Veoneer (amongst others) are listed on their site.

This mornings RNS appeared at 7:06 on investEgate. There's been a slight delay at that site over the past couple of days, don't think it's anything to do with SM.

Hopefully the ducks are lined up this time and that aviation news will arrive mcimminently. Along with a solid fleet update.

Claims of driver not gripping steering wheel correctly so don't think a DMS could have prevented this to be honest

Fleet size > 4000 buses.

On the 18th dec with 6 fatalities. I don't know if Kowloon Bus ever adopted Guardian, or if indeed DMS is installed on all of it's buses (I think highly unlikely). Certainly, at some point last year they were trialling a 'drowsiness detecting system, procured from an Australian company'.

I like BMK too but there's £87 million debt on the BS. I don't know when those those hypopet vacines are due to come to market but that could be transformational for them. I still prefer SEE as an investment however.

Supposedly a Honda level 3 car will be on sale by summer 2020. If they're anything like GM, maybe we can add 4 years on to that! But, more seriously, there must surely be a DMS and if I were in charge at Honda I'd be wanting Seeing Machines.

I think you're right John. Hands off the wheel and eyes off the road. There has to be infra red DMS surely.

On reading again, Nisssan at least.

I see Honda ar releasing an SAE level 3 car next year. Will this be too early for infra red eye tracking?

Reference made to both Nissan and Toyota going down this path

I'm certainly hoping that Fleet is on track and there's no reason to believe that it isn't. I don't know what's going on in automotive and these OEMs seem to take an age to get anything done. Thank heavens for Euro NCAP regulation which will drive take up of DMS. I despair with GM, super cruise for whatever reason is not being rolled out as quick as we'd hoped although supposedly both the 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban have 'electrical infrastructure capable of handling GM’s Super Cruise highway driver-assist system'. So it may follow on these models in due course, but is absent on initial release.

Not really. But, it's time for Paul McGlone to give a pogue mahone to that seller and deliver that aviation RNS that's awaiting. At least once that seller has F****d off. I'm still optimistic going forwards otherwise I wouldn't be here and I've been here since Nov 2013!

If you that unhappy here stick your dosh in something like that gambling stock xlmedia, which is ramped by small company sharewatch and all the BB idiots. It will probably go well from the current price and if you're happy making cash out of other peoples misery/addictions good luck to you. Personally I'm staying well clear.

True. Also, I still think the chart looks good on a longer term trend with 100 day sma quite comfortably above the 200 day sma. Historically that's been positive here.

We were told aviation news was expected 2019. Is that calendar year 2019 of financial year 2019? Managment here seem to be like British politicians. I'm trying to hang on here but at some point may have to sell a few as my car is fecked!

The daily numbers of kms travelled seem to be increasing steadily. When I checked yesterday evening it was circa 3 billion, 291 million kms travelled. Today it is close to 3 billion 300 million. A few months ago the daily run rate was a bout 6million kms I think. I suspect 20,000 + Guardian trucks installaions has been hit but time will tell. I'm quietly optimistic.

Interesting article. Mention of Toyota using technology that sounds very much like SM. After all, who else does it as well as SM?

'Toyota’s Remote Health Check vehicle has a screen users can interact with, capable of recognizing facial expressions and determining if people or happy, sad or angry, and playing a game if needed and flashing their favorite color to cheer them up.'

Thanks for the feedback on yesterdays CMD folks.

The 100 day moving average appears to have moved above the 200 day moving average on yahoo charts. That's often a good sign and last time that happened here was positive, so fingers crossed.

I don't get some of the moaners on here. You proabably make people who haven't done their research sell up. As someone who has recently returned to work and is no longer relying on investments for income, even I have felt that way. So forgive me when I say to you 'have a s***e day'!
