Just have to wait and see I guess. 😀

Instead of the attempted smears on this board, how about the facts :-

Findings from the NTSB Investigation Transcript of the Ford Blue Cruise Crashes Enquiry

Crash 1

Chair for the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania crash, the National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable cause of the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, crash was the driver's failure to respond to the stationary vehicles ahead due to impairment from alcohol. That may have been worsened by cannabis use, as well as distraction likely from cell phone use stemming from overreliance on and misuse of the vehicle's hands free partial automation system. Contributing to the crash was the driver's operation of the vehicle about 27 miles per hour over the speed limit. And a work zone, further contributing to the crash was the Ford Motor Company's inadequate integration of its active speed management system, with its partial automation system, which permitted excessive speed, including in a work zone and any amendments to the proposed probable cause for Philadelphia.

Crash 2

Staff proposes the following probable cause for the San Antonio, Texas crash. The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable cause of the San Antonio, Texas, crash was the driver's failure to respond to the stationary vehicle ahead due to distraction, likely from the in-vehicle navigation system stemming from overreliance on the vehicle's hands free partial automation system and disengagement from the driving task. Contributing to the crash was the inability of the Ford vehicles partial automation system, including its automatic emergency braking system, to detect and respond to the stationary vehicle ahead. Also contributing to the crash was the location of the stationary vehicle, which may have been stopped in the center lane of the highway due to the impairment of its driver.

Well worth the 15 minute watch to get a real understanding of how things are going.

For what the eyes may not notice......

There seems to be a concerted effort for the 'Green Box Brigade' in recent days....... I think they want everyone to sell up now. Just saying. Ha ha ha Oh deary me.

DR, don't be fooled or taken in by the sad down trodden pathetic 'whoa is me' image presented by this character, he is a slimy trader who only whinges when all the other traders are pushing for a lower entry for their own gain at the expense of 'actual shareholders'. Just saying !!

Worth a read.

This data could be presented in court to show exactly what happened in the vehicle (elevator, helicopter, etc) leading to, and after any 'incident'..... Great potential here for so many other applications in other industries/manufacturing, commerce.

Nope...!

I didn't think so. Just saying!

Clearly slimy professional derampers which most of could 'see' through.

Such turds, to actually live such a life.

https://www.airportsinternational.com/article/atc-training-cae-takes-next-step

at airspace world 2025, we presented our eye tracking technology for air traffic services (ats) training, a solution we originally developed in-house for pilot training. it tracks eye positions and movements to determine what a person is looking at, how long they look at it and how their eyes move from one point to another (their scan pattern). infrared cameras and sensors capture eye movements in a way that is both non-intrusive and invisible to the user.

this technology tracks the maturity of a trainee’s scanning ability, which is a significant contributor to maintaining situational awareness. in pilot training, it offers confirmation that a student has verified visually the state of the aircraft prior to an action – something that cannot be observed by an instructor. it also tracks scan transitions during critical phases of flight (eg, in the landing phase, a student must transition their gaze from inside the ****pit to the end of the runway prior to initiating the flare). finally, it monitors the student’s cognitive load as tasks are executed – something that is otherwise difficult to access. the technology used for both pilot and ats training is the same, meaning that very little adaptation was required.

our expertise lies in processing the raw data delivered by the system to drive out training-relevant insights. for example, for ats training, the system must have the capability to monitor scans of multiple moving aircraft on an atco’s display. in the world of pilot training, the scans move from one fixed area – the airspeed window – to the altitude window, both of which are located on the primary flight display. in other words, areas of interest from a scan perspective are fixed. in the ats domain, cae now needs to couple the scans to movable objects (aircraft) as part of situation awareness or a visual confirmation of a squawk identification.

As Technical Lead – Embedded Systems you will drive the technical vision and delivery of embedded vision products for global vehicle fleets, leading a high performing, cross-functional team. 👀👍

I found it very very interesting that part of the role requirements is to "Collaborate with engineers and stakeholders from Fortune 100 companies" 🤔

A Fortune 100 company is one of the top 100 largest U.S. companies ranked by annual revenue, as compiled and published annually by Fortune magazine. It is a subset of the more widely known Fortune 500 list, which ranks the top 500 companies by the same metric.

The quality of the presentations at InCabin Barcelona last week was really special. Following the Volkswagen / Magna International keynote on the hashtag#occupant hashtag#monitoring hashtag#mirror, we had Verena Ihring from Bosch (another post!) and below is a slide from Brian Brackenbury at Gentex Corporation talking about Euro NCAP - For Safer Cars, Vans & Trucks 2026 points scoring from the mirror location. Note estimates of 25/25 possible for driver engagement and 20/30 for occupant monitoring. That's 45/55 (~82%). Most of the lost points are from rear seat occupancy seatbelt detection (furthest location from the mirror) and hashtag#CPD which may not be optimal with vision sensing at all, and certainly not from the mirror. The CPD issue was discussed also at InCabin in a roundtable led by Rheinmetall. Based on participant comments, it is probably going to be done with radar. I see a balance of managing costs of a second sensor to provide one feature for five points.

What came over for me in Barcelona is the sudden shift in industry awareness of the viability of both hashtag#driver and occupant monitoring hashtag#DMS hashtag#OMS from the mirror. For several years it has been clear there was a campaign of misinformation from some parties saying the mirror is unsuitable for driver/cabin monitoring; those voices have magically become advocates of the idea already. In Barcelona we saw VW/Magna come together to give details of an actual production program, and Gentex with its estimates of 2026 NCAP points scoring from the mirror. Very obviously absent was a presentation from BMW Group and Valeo for the hashtag#NeueKlasse hashtag#iX3, but perhaps next year?

The beauty of a conference is the opportunity for informal face-to-face discussion spread right across the supply chain. I won't repeat a word of it here, but the summary is there is a lot happening centered on the mirror location and absolutely none of it is clear yet in the public domain. Across Magna, Gentex and Valeo there are vastly different go-to-market strategies for OEMs to consider to adopt the mirror location. The question almost becomes: "Why wouldn't an OEM do DMS/OMS from the mirror?"

The industry PR about driver monitoring leadership remains vastly different to the market data. "Design wins" mean nothing if they are just NRE and do not lead to production programs. To cut through the PR noise, I have developed a "Who Supplies Whom” analysis for the European DMS market. If you are looking for clear, data-driven guidance into the tier 1 and tier 2 DMS procurement decisions with the top 35 OEMs selling to Europe, especially in the context of the upcoming hashtag#ADDW hashtag#GSR and hashtag#NCAP26 requirements, then these two reports are built for you. No fluff. Just facts:

Canberra-headquartered Seeing Machines has unveiled new Driver Monitoring System technology that goes beyond driver drowsiness and distraction detection.

The company’s new technology is now capable of detecting non-drowsy driver impairment, including alcohol-related impairment.

Seeing Machines has adapted its DMS technology to detect alcohol impairment ranging from .05 blood alcohol content (BAC) to higher levels, where risk is continually elevating.

The highest level of accuracy and precision occurs when drivers are in the .10 BAC range or higher.

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) statistics show that 67 per cent of alcohol impaired fatalities included one driver with a BAC limit of .15 or higher.

Seeing Machine’s new DMS feature that targets the range of BAC readings should have a positive effect on road safety.

“For years our technology, now in over 3.7 million cars and over 60,000 trucks today, has been capable of detecting and preventing distracted and drowsy driving,” said Seeing Machines’ Chief Safety Officer, Dr Mike Lenné.

“After extensive research, development, and rigorous testing we are now able to detect other forms of impairment, including impairment from alcohol to the level currently required by European NCAP (New Car Assessment Program) standards for alcohol detection.”

The new capability was launched at the MADD (Mothers Against Drink Driving) 45th anniversary in Washington, D.C.

In the US, DMS has primarily been used to maintain driver engagement during hands-free driving with systems like Ford’s Blue Cruise and General Motors’ Super Cruise.

The same system that allows the driver to operate hands-free, already detecting distraction and drowsiness, can also tell if the driver is drunk.

The European Union now requires these systems to detect driver distraction and fatigue for safety, and starting from 2026, they must also detect driver impairment from non-fatigue causes that include alcohol use.

Already deployed in 3.7 million cars and 60,000 trucks, the system supports EU regulations mandating alcohol detection from 2026.

Seeing Machines has proposed a phased US adoption plan, reinforcing its mission to reduce road deaths and improve driver safety.

“The science is in, the research and development has been done,” said Dr Lenné. “Mitigating risks of drunk driving is now a policy decision, not a technological one.”

Seeing Machines, founded in 2000 and headquartered in Australia, is a leader in vision-based monitoring technology that enable machines to see, understand and assist people.

It has offices in Australia, USA, Europe and Asia.
