RE: DMS Will Jump 487.5% btwn 2022-202729 Jul 2022 14:33
Torque monitoring or haptic sensing of steering wheel I think will be phased out and won't score much and maybe even zero in ncap scores. Camera will be natural solution once eu and us rules kick in as they will be able to see that eyes are on road, touch onnsteering wheel or torque can be cheated and doesn't mean attention. I thinknonce manufacturer has a camera in board (ideally in the mirror;-) ) it will want to offer OMS and leverage the profitability as camera cost is already sunk in DMS. I think it will be camera based dms in all vehicles and OMS in range toppers at first then filtering down ranges as uptake surges and r&d/initial manufacturer cost are recouped. Just.my humble opinion. I think guardian being already ready for fleet might be the route for oem trucks as many will be fitted out for larger fleet customers with monitoring/telematics solutions already. A build in dash no doubt will come and once on oem does it others will follow. The price sucks currently but even with new hires I cant see cash being burnt that rapidly that needs a cash call this year - maybe one of them larger holders are rebalanced risk in portfolios - difficult market so someone maybe managing capital exposure based on strict internal rules and we are collateral damage. The story has for at least the last two years been about late 2024 or 2025.onwards for volume, the rns we have seen over last 6 months have been great and deals can slip in time for all sorts of reasons outside of seeingmachines control. They will happen, the visibility of these no doubt will arrive soon enough - trying to be zen in this. Is technology mandated - yes. Do we have a good solution - yes, are we announcing new business wins - yes are we seeing value of competitors wins above our own - no. Do we have clear technical advantage and some novel IP/know how in key camera optimal positioning such as a mirror -yes. Will other companies win some business - yes , certainly as car industry likes not to have eggs in one basket. Do we have other strong opportunities and relationships in areas outside of auto - yes Do we see revenue growing q on q moving forward- yes Will each quarter of growth and cash inflow reduce risk or overall capital raise should one be required - yes. This is a business close to a hockey stick of income increase with read across to other businesses like mobileye that went on to have general roll out of their tech area in high volume auto that are or have been valued many many times above SEE currently. I am definitely in this for the ride, if the story significantly changes through contract loss, other players entering with better products etc then I will reassess. Smarteye, Cipia and others will also likely need to raise money too and they.may need it sooner so may find conditions more choppy. Still incredibly confident that may investment here although underwater by quite a bit will deliver me gains that will be wealth changing.
