Terry, try this one as it still works on my PC for searches for Mercedes Benz Eactros trucks

Nathan, I reckon that the technology has already been trialed and tested by Mercedes Benz (and others) and we are awaiting the launch of Guadian Gen 3.

This is possibly the multi-thousands order alluded to in one of the investor presentations by PMG.

the digital ****pit. https://www.mercedes-benz-trucks.com/en_gb/emobility/world/our-offer/digital-solutions.html

drivers at work benefit above all from the fully linked state-of-the-art, innovative multimedia ****pit with its e-specific functions and its new design. for example, it shows the range both in distance and time and the current and average energy consumption in kwh/100 km as standard, and it can also be personalised. via the mercedes‑benz truck app portal you can integrate apps such as the trucktraining app or fleet management apps.

driver monitoring is available in the mercedes-benz eactros. it uses a camera and infrared sensors to track the driver's face and eyes, and can alert the driver if they are not paying attention or if they start to nod off. the system can also be used to prevent the driver from taking their eyes off the road for too long.

the driver monitoring system is part of the eactros's active safety package, which also includes features such as adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, and automatic emergency braking. these features work together to help the driver stay safe and avoid accidents.

the driver monitoring system is available on all models of the eactros, and is standard on the eactros longhaul. it is an important safety feature that can help to prevent accidents and keep drivers safe.

here are some of the benefits of driver monitoring in the mercedes-benz eactros:

helps to prevent accidents by alerting the driver if they are not paying attention or if they start to nod off.

can be used to prevent the driver from taking their eyes off the road for too long.

can help to reduce driver fatigue.

can improve driver safety and productivity.

if you are considering buying a mercedes-benz eactros, i would recommend getting the active safety package with driver monitoring. it is a valuable safety feature that can help to keep you and your passengers safe.

the eactros is an electric truck that was launched in 2022. it uses qualcomm's snapdragon digital chassis, which is a suite of automotive solutions that includes the snapdragon ****pit platform and the snapdragon automotive connectivity platform. the snapdragon ****pit platform powers the eactros's infotainment system, while the snapdragon automotive connectivity platform provides the truck with 5g connectivity.

the use of qualcomm's technology in the eactros allows the truck to have a number of advanced features, such as a 15.2-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, and over-the-air updates. the 5g connectivity also allows the truck to be used for remote diagnostics and fleet management.

the mercedes-benz eactros is the first commercial vehicle to use qualcomm's snapdragon digital chassis. however, qualcomm is also working with other automakers, such as bmw, ford, and renault, to bring its technology to more vehicles.

Https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/article-magna-raises-full-year-sales-forecast-for-fiscal-2025-on-back-of/

Canada’s Magna International raised its sales forecast for fiscal 2025, on the back of sustained demand for parts, sensors and electrified powertrain systems.

Demand for parts and sensors has picked up as automakers strive to push out more electrified vehicles with advanced driver aid systems such as driving monitoring systems, park assist and adaptive cruise control.

The Canadian auto-parts supplier now expects its full-year 2025 total sales to be between $46.7-billion and $49.2-billion, compared with its prior forecast of $44.7-billion and $47.2-billion.

Magna is expected to provide more details on its outlook and the industry at its investor day conference later in the day.

Qualcomm told investors at its Automotive Investor Day that its design win pipeline is expected to deliver $30B back to the company. That was nearly a year ago; the pipeline has undoubtedly grown.

Seeing Machines has published its latest quarterly #KPIs for cars on road. To 30 June 2023, the cumulative total is 1,086,176 units. Seeing Machines is the second DMS supplier to pass one million cars on road, after Smart Eye, and the race is now on as to which supplier reaches two million vehicles first.

Seeing Machines' delivery growth is sudden. In only the 12 months to 30 June 2023, 638,951 units were added, or about 60% of the cumulative total number. In the 24 months to 30 June 2023, it was 956,442 or about 90% of the cumulative total. Its success in the automotive sector has essentially happened in just the last two years.

Future growth is on course to be just as dramatic. The company hit 150,000 units delivered in a quarter for the first time only in the Jan-Mar quarter (173,802 units) and then promptly passed 200,000 units delivered in the Apr-Jun quarter (211,325 units). By providing quarterly data, its growth path can be analyzed. The conclusion is that after many years of R&D, Seeing Machines is now delivering on its promises.

Cars on road is a more robust metric to assess market leadership than "design-wins," which can easily be gamed by definitions. Further ambiguity is added to design-win totals by the existence of dual optical path systems, to cover the driver (#DMS) and the wider cabin (#OMS). Two different suppliers can legitimately claim the same vehicle model as a win (which has happened with BMW), or one supplier can claim two "wins" if they secure both the DMS and OMS nomination. The trend is clearly towards a single optical path combining both DMS and OMS, and some existing awards will be junked and never reach start of production #SoP. Thus, design-win totals are meaningless beyond scoring PR victories.

The three leading #automotive #technology suppliers (Seeing Machines, Smart Eye, and Cipia) are all independent, publicly listed small companies having to survive in a world of >5% interest rates and a rapidly rising cost of money. Vital is a path to profitability, matched with significant investment in a continued #innovation #roadmap to ensure technology leadership for the next ten years. Threading that needle will be extremely challenging, and not all three suppliers will make it. Profit centers beyond automotive will likely be the main differentiators to survival, underscoring the importance of strategies in the #fleet and #aviation sectors.

You'll have to pick your own survivors in this market. Capitalism is brutal, but cash is always king. Companies do not die because they make a loss. They die because they run out of money.

Good morning Terry, Same here for me....... I was becoming sick and tired of Shorty's repeated constant negative whinging, etc no ... It is as clear as day what his agenda is. Anyway, he is a mere 'Green Box' now. Let's hope we have decent KPI figures tomorrow. GLA LTHs

Soulboy,

I find it interesting that the same Utube clip was posted on LinkedIn this morning by Seeing Machines themselves.

I wonder why they did that ? Hmmmmm.....

Wow, almost a completely blue day with numerous multi million share buys...... almost no sells at all. Yet the share price does not go up! What is going on here ?

Https://twitter.com/AmnonShashua/status/1687426278662537216?cxt=HBwWgIC4xdLQ-OouAAAA&cn=ZmxleGlibGVfcmVjcw%3D%3D&refsrc=email

A funny clip going viral in China of a driver with @Mobileye's Hands-free (Eyes-on) SuperVision system trying to change lane in a congested traffic.

Interesting that it is Mobileye.... Appears to be using See technology in China ?? In the video you can clearly see the infrared lights above the steering wheel flashing........ Can any clever techy types confirm that it is SEE tech ?

1,075,654 is my guess.

But I hope it is much higher and surprises us all.

Have a great weekend all.

CANBERRA, Australia, June 15, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Seeing Machines, an advanced computer vision technology company that designs AI-powered systems to improve transport safety, is excited to announce that it will be attending InCabin, held this year in Brussels from 20 – 22 June.

Seeing Machines' Chief Science and Innovation Officer, Professor Mike Lenné, will be representing the company in Brussels and is due to speak on the theme of "Driver engagement and take-over readiness."

Professor Lenné will discuss how auto manufacturers currently face a choice between adopting either camera-based driver monitoring systems (DMS) or hands-on-the wheel sensors in their vehicle designs, a situation which is likely to change as governments and regulators increasingly recognise the value that camera-based sensing brings to improving driver safety.

The talk will also examine the state of research on camera-based driver monitoring, making the case that technologies which monitor a driver's ocular movements are more effective at ensuring safety than other approaches. The capabilities of camera-based driver monitoring are continually evolving, ensuring that it will represent the pinnacle of interior-sensing and safety for years to come.

Seeing Machines, which is based in Canberra and listed on the UK stock market, recently carried out a nationally representative poll looking at the attitudes of UK consumers towards DMS, rapidly becoming mandatory for carmakers to install around the world to enhance safety and underpin hands-free, or assisted driving features. The results showed that 70% of consumers believe in-vehicle DMS can improve road safety and help reduce accidents caused by distracted or fatigued drivers, although 72% still have little to no knowledge of this new technology.

"The results indicate that most consumers are willing to try out a technology with clear benefits for driver safety" said Paul McGlone CEO of Seeing Machines. "Nonetheless, the survey shows that there is much work still to be done by carmakers, suppliers and policy makers in educating the public as to the benefits of advanced driver monitoring systems. By attending InCabin, we want to help raise awareness across our stakeholders of a technology that is set to become an unavoidable legal requirement in the decade ahead and ultimately to ensure that more people around the world get home safely."

InCabin is the world's leading event for interior intelligence specialists, being attended by a range of engineers, experts and thought leaders from across the auto industry. The conference is the best place to learn about the latest developments in the field of driver and occupant monitoring systems.

Seeing Machines is happy to meet with and answer questions from the media. For further information, please contact:

Wow..... I eventually green-boxed that to55er Toffees and half of the BB dross messages have gone forever. I would strongly recommend others do the same. What a pathetic disruptive twit.

Https://www.geospatialworld.net/news/nextbase-smart-dash-cam-driver-assistance/#:~:text=Nextbase%20has%20revealed%20that%20the,will%20launch%20in%20spring%202023

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eN3kyOHlMI

Developed in collaboration with Amberella and shown at CES 2023 this latest smart AI dashcam offers a wide range of features including using eye movement detection to monitor driver drowsiness, distraction and even using your mobile phone.

The company also promised that the iQ would be a ‘living’ product which will gain extra driver safety and security features over time. It has worked with Ambarella, a well-known supplier of dash cam chipsets, to produce a custom “AI-capable” chip that’s powerful enough to handle future additions, as well as recording from three cameras at those high resolutions.

This is one of the reasons the iQ will cost more than most dash cams.

Two of the features that will be added after launch are Driver Aware and Vehicle Aware. The first, also known as DMS, will monitor the driver using infrared sensors and provide alters to combat distracted and/or drowsy driving.

Vehicle Aware, also called ADAS – advanced driver assistance system – monitors the road and cars in front, warning drivers of vehicle and pedestrian danger.

This can be considered as an "aftermarket solution" for Auto and it comes a range of functionality levels and specs and the cost will be under $500.

When will SEE release RNS ??

Wow...... Lots of boiler room noise on here as usual doing their utmost to keep the 'air of negativity' topped up to suit their (or their employer's) agenda. Sad really. Hang onto your golden tickets lads.

Terry,

I it nice to know that BMW produces over 2 million cars every year and our tech should be in all of them.

Seize,

You missed the long awaited launch of aftermarket Guardian Gen 3 which could set the heather alight if the orders, potentially large numbers come in.

Also the collaboration with Mobile Eye in trucking, this could make a difference too.

Hi Seize,

I do realise that, however I was trying to point out that MAgna are happily promoting Seeing Machines with such clear positioning of the company name and logo on the presentation film.

It kind of reminded me of the 'Intel Inside' stickers which were plastered on all PCs and laptops.

I feel that it is good to see our brand awareness factor increasing in any way possible, as apart from us on this bulletin board, nobody else has ever heard of Seeing Machines.
