A coffee ain't cure you of your innumeracy! I find a calculator comes in useful on these occasions and then a coffee.

Saying that, it took me three attempts to pass Maths O Level and even then I only got a grade C. I am in no position to slander another's total inability to correctly calculate the answer from a mathematical teaser :)

I think it may have been tongue in cheek..see smiley

I thought Oleo's insight was very useful, well I certainly found it useful being someone's who's never been at the 'coal face' or indeed the 'oil face' in the O & G industry...It's always interesting to get a 'driller' on the boards, once in a while..someone with practical experience of these things

that figure ($70m) equates to our current market cap

If co-opted for passenger vehicles, Eyesight's solution could be well suited for automakers, enabling them to issue alerts for distracting activities, like texting or smoking, that could lead to accidents. Without an in-car camera system, automakers could leave themselves open to elongated investigations over incidents involving their self-driving systems, as they'd lack video proof that a driver was misusing the technology.

https://www.businessinsider.com/us-lawmaker-urges-tesla-to-disable-autopilot-feature-2019-11?r=US&IR=T

Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA) called on electric vehicle (EV) maker Tesla to disable its Autopilot semi-autonomous driving system until it can introduce safeguards that prevent its improper use, according to Reuters. Markey, who sits on the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, also brought the issue to the attention of the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), which said it would follow up with Tesla.

While Autopilot requires a driver to have their hands on the steering wheel and stay attentive while it's engaged — Telsa tracks whether users' hands are on the steering wheel via pressure sensors — users have found ingenious ways to trick the sensors. Bypassing the system enables drivers to freely engage in risky behavior, like napping at the wheel or going on their phones.

As pressure mounts on Tesla, other major automakers should take heed as they implement semi-autonomous driving technology in their cars. Cadillac debuted its semi-autonomous feature, called Super Cruise, and plans to implement the feature in all of its vehicles in 2020, while Japanese carmaker Nissan launched its ProPilot Assist feature in 2018 and plans to introduce an updated version in an upcoming sedan model. Additionally, Italian automaker Alfa Romeo will introduce a semi-autonomous driving system in its upcoming 2020 Stelvio crossover model.

To combat the misuse of semi-autonomous systems and the potential regulatory issues they create, automakers should embrace AI-equipped, in-car cameras. These cameras can visually gauge a driver's level of alertness using multiple data points to better prevent drivers from tricking in-car sensors.

For example, US automaker Cadillac has already implemented an in-car camera-based system for its semi-autonomous driving feature, which tracks head position to issue warnings if it believes a driver isn't alert — and if warnings go unheeded, the vehicle autonomously slows the car to a full stop. Distracted driving is a significant problem for self-driving vehicles, as those using a semi-autonomous driving system spend up to 80% of their time not watching the road, according to a study by the RAC Foundation.

Automakers looking to quickly implement similar features to head off potential misuse of their technology can look to work with startups in the smart camera space. One potential partner is Eyesight Technologies, which unveiled an updated in-vehicle camera this month targeted toward the trucking industry that can alert users to distracted driving.

Understand that camera based DMS is not just about distraction and attention monitoring. Tesla's drivers will still need to monitor their driving. The car will have a steering wheel. the law requires them to remain vigilant.

I'm not sure why this 'scares the **** out of you'

you never give up do you? we understand the delay issue but it's a delay not a cancellation. New laws mandate DMS and for that I am grateful

Veoneer have plenty of new launches to come in 2020

Spot on with that judgement as per below -

'Thank you. Good afternoon. So we touched upon China but from a regional perspective here, where is ADAS adoption growing the fastest would you say and with the cycle continuing turning south, I mean, are there any changes in terms of interest from customers and we mentioned decontenting here related to active safety'?

Jan Carlson -- Chairman, President, Chief Executive Officer and acting Head of Business Unit Europe, Veoneer.

'No, I think we have a global interest on the level two class the level 2+ and the move from level four focus to more level 2+ focus if not more outspoken for any of the other regions, that is across the globe, you see an higher interest for this coming from OEM actually across the board, so scalable architecture focusing on L2+ is the biggest interest what we see around the globe.''

From this week. I'm not sure if this is relevant but one of the members of this 'advisory board' (not sure who they are advising) is Natasha Merat (Leeds) who I believe has worked extensively with Lenne and indeed SEE

WNTS stepped down off the bid

way too much stock around for this to move

Good man

Still surplus stock around then...come one SEE, we need PROPER news to eliminate this surfeit of stock or overhang

Article from EnergyNews on the Falcon Ann.

''In a statement this week Irish-headquartered Falcon, which holds a 30% interest in the well, noted Kyalla 117 N2 had now been completed to a total vertical depth of 1,895 metres. During drilling the well showed elevated gas shows with relatively high liquids, which Falcon CEO Philip O'Quigley said represented an "excellent re-start to the Beetaloo drilling program." Operator Origin (70%) is now preparing to drill the horizontal section of the well within the Kyalla formation.

The JV also acquired 45 metres of conventional coring in each of the Upper and Lower Kyalla reservoir sections.Sidewall cores and extensive wireline logging has also been acquired, though those results have not yet been released. "Electric logs calibration by core analysis results together with the planned fraccing of the horizontal section will give us a more quantative view on this play," O'Quigley said.Once drilling of the horizontal section of the well is completed, it will be fracced and then production tested.Production testing is expected to take around 90 days, and Origin plans to continue operations during the wet season.The big-budget Kyalla 117 N2 is the first of two wells the joint venture plan to have drilled by the end of this year, targeting the Kyalla shale liquids gas play in exploration permits EP117, EP76, and EP98.When the well was spud in October both industry and the Northern Territory government cheered the symbolic new era of investment for the Top End.Industry lobby body the Australian Petroleum Production and Exploration Association said the resources being targeting would play a "vital role in revitalising the Territory's economy".According to Origin's latest investor presentation, the second well in the campaign is close to spud with the well pads now nearing completion and drilling and stimulation approvals expected in the short term.Origin was up 2% this morning at $8.46 cents per share.''

'accelerated drilling plans' almost suggests they are outside the scope of the original drilling plans and they've decided to speed things up simply because they are optimistic of what they might find

Exciting results from Origin Beetaloo campaign

ORIGIN Energy and its joint venture partner Falcon Oil & Gas have accelerated drilling plans in the Beetaloo Sub-basin, after preliminary drilling data from the Kyalla 117 N2 onshore appraisal well yielded exciting results.

Is Origin expediting drilling based on the drilling results they announced this week? If so, that is cause for excitement. Almost like an excited child on Xmas morning frantically unwrapping their presents to see what's contained within.

Mandatory rules is the game changer for DMS and Driver Monitoring. It won't be a choice to install any more, it'll be install or you can't sell your car in our jurisdiction thank-you...All jurisdictions will fall in behind EU NCAP.....

There's no last chance saloon with SEE.

just bored so posting stuff that seems relevant to me at this moment -

The human component

During the next session, Veoneer Product Director Tom Herbert explored an often-overlooked aspect of autonomous driving: passenger safety.

“I want to change the whole mindset,” he began.

“When you talk about Level 2 and under, to me the best sensor in the car is the human.”

And with his presentation, “Going Beyond: In-Cabin Sensing, the Next Wave of AI”, Tom would illustrate the ways in-cabin sensors could improve safety.

“A lot of the money being spent on autonomous (vehicle development, doesn’t focus on what’s happening inside the cabin),” Tom commented. “Once I understand the interior…it really creates a lot of new value for the customer.”

That value, he said, included monitoring for drowsiness and distraction, while keeping privacy considerations in mind.

“What does privacy mean?” he asked. “Different things in different regions.”

Tom told his audience that Europe’s New Car Assessment Program would begin occupant-status monitoring in 2020. By 2022, he said, advanced fatigue and distraction detection systems would be in place, in new European vehicles. And those systems were part of a larger safety goal.

“What Europe is saying, is this…monitoring system will become mandatory in all cars by 2025.”
But, in the United States…

Another sensor-based solution, he suggested, would be a driver-monitoring system that fuses both external and internal content. “This could be annoying, but I (notice how often) my 16-year-old (looks one way and not the other while driving),” he said.

“If (my daughter) went out and drove and at the end of the day I have a driver score…this gamification (may encourage her to drive more safely).”

cont...........
“Driver monitoring, that’s what’s biggest in the news today. That gateway sensor. (That can take us to where) I start relying on the car to do certain things, and the car relies on me to do certain things.”

To have the Ambassador in attendance is very odd. SEE does have decent connections with governments and State organisation. All pointing in the right direction
