"Magna has signed its first customer for the DMS mirror, but until that OEM makes the relationship public, all Magna can tell us is that it's a German automaker. Expect to see the first models sporting this mirror on the road in Europe early next year, then here in the US by fall 2024"

According to Ford North America Product Communications director Mike Levine, a grand total of 186,000 vehicle owners have now enrolled in either BlueCruise or ActiveGlide, a rather large increase in just a couple of months. Altogether, those users have driven 55 million miles with the features activated, too.

“Automakers are looking for a way to reliably meet both DMS and ADAS regulatory and safety-standard requirements for all of their car models in the very near term. Due to these requirements, the DMS market alone is expected to grow to nearly 70 million units, per annum, by 2028, according to Semicast and ABI Research,” said Paul McGlone, CEO of Seeing Machines. “Our industry-leading interior cabin sensing solutions, focused on driver and occupant monitoring, in combination with Ambarella’s AI SoCs and Autobrains’ ADAS/AD software, provides that integration path while enabling an optimized implementation that can scale across the feature sets of today’s models, along with higher levels of autonomy for the future.”

Ford electric vehicle sales expanded four-fold over a year ago, growing almost four times faster than the EV segment and conquesting from competitors at a rate over 60 percent. As America’s best-selling electric truck in August, the all-new F-150 Lightning pickup is the fastest turning vehicle in Ford’s lineup at just
eight days, followed by Bronco at 10 and Maverick at 11.
More than 75,000 customers have enrolled in Ford BlueCruise and
Lincoln ActiveGlide, up 13 percent from July, with more than 16
million hands-free miles accumulated.

Long time investor in QFI, one thing this company is good at is over promising and under delivering. Don't bank on commercialisation with this company. Take your profits (de-risk) when you can, I was able to do so back in the days of 40p+, still got a few.
Good luck

Affectiva will also use the funding to ensure its AI, trained by analysis of over 7 million faces, avoids algorithmic bias. The company also wants its AI to detect more subtle or complex moods and behaviors.
“One of the things we’re working on is this concept of cognitive overload when you’re overly stimulated because a lot of things are happening to you,” Affectiva CEO Rana el Kaliouby told VentureBeat in a phone interview. “So we’re trying to build a model that can quantify how cognitively overloaded are you and then the car can again start to engage in ways that make it a safer experience.”
Such insights could lead to nudges from an in-vehicle AI assistant, or prompt an autonomous driving system to take control.
Another major focus going forward for Affectiva is deploying on the edge and being embedded in vehicles and facing compute power limitations.
“We are trying to run this on the vehicle. We don’t want any data sent to the cloud. So that means a lot of work shrinking these models and getting them to run on the automotive-grade chips,” el Kaliouby said.
I think it's safe to say SEE already have this capability.

Hold strong, hold tight
Been around since the 50p days...sold a few to pay a loan off but still got a fair few.
Good luck to all LTH...another run up to 50p and beyond would be ideal for me right now.
All aboard....
