I suspect it is SEE's first BMW... unlikely to be SE at 80mph

"The new architecture will also incorporate a new autonomous technology platform that will eventually offer Level 5 autonomy – wherein the car does not require a driver. BMW showed all three prototype autonomy ‘PAD’ processing units at the 2018 LA motor show, the smallest of which will first appear in 2021 on the production iNext to offer Level 3 autonomy (hands-off and eyes-off) at up to 80mph on motorways."

"I must admit I didn't know much about them, but they are huge over $600bn AUM, they have lots of funds and as JC pointed out they hold Qualcomm."

To be fair, i think you would struggle to find any tech sector investment company who did not have qualcomm in their portfolio.

Has anyone found any information that supports the assertion by Victor that SEYE have won VW through STMicroelectronics (other than the fact that SEE have not claimed it).

Victor does conceed in his bear case summary hidden at the end that the have lost later BMW models. do we lnow who their other 11 oems are? They include Mitsubishi, Nissan and renault (the alliance) and Geeley. Am I right in thinking that they had Audi at one point too?

Royal Buick next!

30th makes more sense ;)

whatif, great data showing how fleet is increasing. do you have the data to show over a longer timeframe which we can put the known number of installed units in on certain dates? this may give us a guide of the number of installs we will be at on the end of October...

an insight into some of the upcoming vehicles from BMW. Im expecting SEE to be in all future models after BMW moved away fro SEYE

"The iNext’s interior is highly futuristic, its most notable feature being a newly designed steering wheel which is designed to allow drivers to switch easily between regular and highly automated driving functions. The iNext is expected to be able to essentially drive itself on the motorway, taking care of its own acceleration, braking, lane position and steering."

"Just like the iNext, too, the i7 is expected to feature advanced semi-autonomous driving functions that are designed to make driving on the motorway a lot easier by allowing the car to take over."

looks like ther forecourts are getting the 2021 F150s

$25 a month seems steep....

but in the article it links to another article where GM are developing Ultra cruise to replace Supercruise

"He also claimed Ultra Cruise would offer autonomous driving capability on certain highways as well as city streets and other areas. That’s a significant upgrade compared to the company’s current Super Cruise system, which can only operate on certain limited-access highways. It's also a major step towards battling Tesla and its Autopilot system."

Mercedes has a Pipeline of 11 new electric models over the next few years... how many of these will contain SEE tech?

Here is one to start you off....
"the EQS will have many of the same interior fittings as the latest S-Class, including that car's portrait-oriented 12.8in touchscreen infotainment system.
As the range-topping EQ model, the EQS should also come with the most advanced autonomous driving systems Mercedes has ever developed"

"The 2021 Escalade also features Super Cruise, the brand’s hands-free semi-autonomous driver assist system, which enables drivers to remove their hands from the steering wheel during extended highway journeys. Last year, Cadillac added 70,000 miles of available roadways to the system, bringing the grand total up to 200,000 miles."

"The Super Cruise semi-autonomous drive system is expected to have late availability, and will cost between $2,500 and $6,150, depending on the trim. "

Have Denso created their own DMS or is it SEE?

Image Capturing Technology
DENSO's Image Capturing Technology includes a camera capable of illuminating the driver's face with near-infrared rays. An optical filter reduces visible light to faciliate eye recognition when the driver is wearing sunglasses. The camera contains a CMOS image sensor that emits near-infrared rays to achieve optimal brightness, thereby improving recognition performance.

Lighting Control
DENSO has developed a proprietary lens that integrates a cylindrical lens with a prism to illuminate the driver’s face. Near-infrared rays emitted from the LED create optimal lighting control.

Image Recognition Algorithm
The driver’s facial image is analyzed using DENSO's Recognition Algorithm system which identifies facial features, including the eyes, nose and mouth, as well as facial contours. It detects driver behavior, including eyelid movement and the driver's position, to establish potential dangers, such as drowsiness

Seeing Machines (SEE.L)
As with Smart Eye, Australian HQ’d (and UK-listed) Seeing Machines have developed driver monitoring systems to detect driver distraction, drowsiness, “microsleep” events and driver engagement levels to then trigger events whereby AV operations partially (or in full) take control of driver activity. Their technology debuted in the 2017 Cadillac CT6 (below). As well as the GM collaboration, they have also recently partnered with semiconductor manufacturer Qualcomm and Swedish auto-company Veoneer. Despite headwinds in 2020, the company have implemented $12m in cost reduction measures, added $5m in recent pre-production revenue and have ~A$40m in net cash to maintain a level of balance sheet strength during the year. Revenues and R&D for 2H19 were both around the A$16m mark.
