Roundtable Discussion; The Future of Mineral Sands. Watch the video here.
From https://www.seeingmachines.com/technology/
" At Seeing Machines, we set ourselves the long-term goal to build machines that can better understand the humans they serve.
This goal is to develop “machine empathy”. The reason we set ourselves this goal, is for the same reason human beings need empathy; to work well with others. Machine empathy brings machines closer to our human world and makes them more intelligent to our needs.
Automotive is just the beginning imo
That's possibly why OEMs aren't keen on a single company having so much power over manufacturing/supply of a specific technology. And why SEE licensing to many chip manufacturers would be a win for SEE gaining more dominance than they could just with Fovio.
So it possibly removes a Tier-1 buying SEE, and even chip manufacturers. Unless they're willing to continue licensing the tech to competitors.
What if market share for SEE (Fovio) is x%.
But SEE tech licensed to chip manufacturers a, b and c is another y%.
See (Fovio) wouldn't be dominant, which would satisfy the OEMs. Access to the technology is then distributed across many chip manufacturers. Removing a single chip supplier being dominant in DMS.
Is Pillar 2 to allow, say a smart mirror, to have its own camera and functionality built on top of only the Sees algorithms it requires. Separate to the camera used for infotainment. Or the camera used for DMS. This would allow products to be developed and installed as isolated units anywhere in the vehicle.
How I interpret the pillars
Pillar 1 - Occula runs on our own Fovio chip. Fovio s updateable OTA thanks to FPGA so existing Fovio customers benefit.
Pillar 2 - Our algorithms are ready to run as software on "a very wide range of popular automotive compute platforms" (I assume this includes Nvidia). We've done the work. So come use us even if you're not using Fovio.
Pillar 3 - hey Intel, Nvidia, Mobileye, Tesla, Qualcomm. Want our algorithms on your own ASIC silicon rather than running in software or our Fovio chip? Come and license it from us. $$$

Government article. I couldn't find confirmation before that the UK was a member of UNECE, though assumed we were.
"Following the approval of ALKS Regulation in June 2020 by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) - of which the UK is a member – the technology is likely to be available in cars entering the UK market from Spring 2021."

The Daily Mail article mentions the UN regulations for Level 3. Which from memory requires that the driver is being observed as ready to take over by at least two different inputs?

Had my first long journey experience using LKA and ACC. Managed about 95% of the drive from Cornwall to Kent with the car steering in lane and controlling the speed itself (never buy a car without these).
The annoying thing about it was needing to keep my hands on the wheel. I felt the pain of Tesla drivers.
Anyone know of some tech Ford could roll out to solve this? ;)
Not sure if I've seen this posted here before?

If you know where a driver is looking. You know where they're not looking. Could it then make sense for image processing on the forward facing camera data to be focused on these other areas. Similar to benefits from foveated rendering, keeping heat and power consumption down.
I assume SEEMF is traded as an Adr in the states?
https://www.investopedia.com/terms/a/adr.asp
> To offer ADRs, a U.S. bank will purchase shares on a foreign exchange. The bank will hold the stock as inventory and issue an ADR for domestic trading. ADRs list on either the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), American Stock Exchange (AMEX), or the Nasdaq, but they are also sold over-the-counter (OTC).
> Because of arbitrage, an ADR's price closely tracks that of the company's stock on its home exchange.
