It's good to see that prior to investing in SEE you did in depth research and that SEE was only involved, or primarily, in Auto. Fleet has a central place in SEE and will over time, but not too long a time, be a significant contributor to SEE and also provide all that data which plays its part in continually improving its tech in all areas, of which there are more than two sectors and markets that SEE has built from scratch.
As far as the evidence we can see, yes management has made errors, primarily on timing and how it imparted the information. TFD was not purely management error but also down to market inefficiency which not only affected SEE.
Although not made apparent, the 'transfer' of key staff from Xilinx gives a big hint as to the direction of SEE. It's all about the chips and this may become apparent following Guardian 3 and the upcoming RFQ's. It all adds up to SEE being sold based on the number of chips it sells and when G3 gets going, Fleet will also add to the value for a potential bidder.
And SEYE has belatedly acknowledged that by its agreement with Ambarella. Without it, SEYE is not a very tempting target, be it safety or convenience. The problem (another one) is the production of an Auto grade chip takes a lot of money (look at SEEs R&D spend) and as Viktor said a further fund raise will be required and with the chip costs it could be a very substantial one but one SEYE has no option not to meet.
