That's Nick from SEE at 1.11

2020 not 2021

True. It seems the market won't be convinced until they see the evidence of progress as expressed through the issuance of RNS

There's only way to express your caution about the risk attached to holding a specific stock, sell it.

I suspect Bosch's 'Virtual sun visor' exploits SEE DMS. It does show Bosch believes DMS of the eye-tracking variety ( as opposed to the Bio-metric type) will become an indispensable component of a vehicle's architecture. All is driver-centric and the eyes will be the source of most of the dynamic human information the system will monitor to trigger a vehicle's safety technology

that's a brilliant find and well spotted Esco

'Driver monitoring

Semi-autonomous vehicles will monitor their drivers’ attention, mood and gestures, Deutsche Bank said. “Audi and Veoneer, among others, had large demos of driver monitoring,” and all manufacturers “displayed larger and more advanced screens in their vehicles” like the upcoming Ford Mustang Mach-E.'

'as Seeing Machines, Affectiva, Phasya and Ericsson using the Zenuity platform built jointly with Volvo'....

Nice to SEE taking precedence in this sentence with other companies trailing in behind

This is well research and informative read about what CES had to offer -

- Automated Driving—Practical Autonomy (Level 2+) Enabled through Driver Monitoring Systems (DMS)

It was a welcoming sign to see the deployment of L2+ system from the suppliers. Veoneer’s demo was a clear showstopper this year. In collaboration with a host of partners such as Seeing Machines, Affectiva, Phasya and Ericsson using the Zenuity platform built jointly with Volvo. Most of these L2+ systems will follow two different approaches: a pre-planned route from navigation or the most probable path (MPP). This system also facilitates driver-initiated lane changes.

On the other hand, ZF is concentrating on Level 2+ deployment called ZF coASSIST, which is the first step into the modular Level 2+ hardware and software suite using the Mobileye EyeQ technology. ZF is expected to integrate Asian OEMs with this system at a price point that is less than $1,000. Mobileye also announced a partnership with SAIC to use Mobileye’s REM mapping technology to map China for L2+ ADAS deployment, which is expected to lay the foundation for newer OEM partnerships in China. Comma.ai also showcased assisted driving technology; this is a pure plug-and-play system that can equip older vehicles with lane keep assist and adaptive cruise control.

Frost & Sullivan expects DMS to be a crucial component for L2+ deployments as this data will be used to interpret the state of driver’s attention to provide real-time feedback and for liability purposes. Non-compliant feedback from the DMS will trigger a safety-critical protocol that will pull over the car to the side of the road, preceded by an audible warning. There were several driver monitoring solutions from Bosch, Xperi and others on display, clearly outlining how L2+ implementations using driver monitoring are clear important market opportunities for the near future.

DMS will become fundamental to ADAS. Maintaining constant driver attention is an immutable rule of driving a weapon of potential harm at speed. It's all the eyes and in the head

I now try to ignore the SEE Twitter output as it's become almost pointless and frankly embarrassing. My question is this. Is the Semicast (Barnden) Twitter feed a proxy for SEE?

Cenkos holding the fort on the bid

I don't believe the inference is low commercial value for DMS. it seems Harman will develop non-DMS technology and then 'buy in' DMS from SEE or SEYE or someone other than

You can see how there's a network of companies all collaborating to achieve certain outcomes. What is the betting that at some point a Veoneer, Harman or Mobileye (Intel) snap up SEE or SEYE?

'We understand that first-order biometrics include things like the direction of gaze, head position and pupil diameter. And now we are hearing about second-order biometrics, such as heart rate and breathing measured by auditory sensors to provide indicators of emotional activity and cognitive load. But what does this mean in real terms?

The first order layers, we're really not concentrating on that. Gaze detection and detection of the facial positions really is done, and it's done very well by a handful of very good companies. It's easier for us to buy that and really to concentrate on the second-order and third-order of feature sets. So, we've been working with Smart Eye and Seeing Machines to do some of the lower first-order items and then building on top of that with our own Harman activities. However, we do also include Samsung as part of our team, working on driver monitor, in fact some of the driver monitor in the BMW today was based on Samsung technology and some on Harman.'
