I see Continental chose Xilinx (2018)

Continental AG announces Assisted & Automated Driving Control Unit based on Xilinx All Programmable Technology

Continental’s incorporation of Xilinx All Programmable technology “provides developers the ability to optimize software for the appropriate processing engine or to create their own hardware accelerators with the Xilinx All Programmable technology. The result is the ultimate freedom to optimize performance, without sacrificing latency, power dissipation, or the flexibility to move software algorithms between the integrated chips, as the project progresses.”



“Our Assisted & Automated Driving Control Unit will enable automotive engineers to create their own differentiated solutions for machine learning, and sensor fusion. Xilinx’s All Programmable Technology was chosen as it offers flexibility and scalability to address the ever-changing and new requirements along the way to fully automated self-driving cars,” said Karl Haupt, Head of Continental’s Advanced Driver Assistance Systems business unit. “For Continental, the Assisted & Automated Driving Control Unit is a central element for implementing the required functional safety architecture and, at the same time, a host for the comprehensive environment model and driving functions needed for automated driving.”

Iran (one of Corbyn's favourite governments) have just shut down national access to the net. This is what will happen when Corbyn takes control of BT. And your pathetic ****ty, worthless bonds you'll hold in return for BT equity will become worthless.

Marxist Labour want political control of BT for political ends. They have no interest in expanding access to those not connected out of some form of social concern about exclusion. Labour's concern is ENTIRELY POLITICAL

I simply want voters to wake up and understand the existential danger of Corbyn and his Marxist thugs. Jo Brand's (still a Labour member) joke about throwing acid in Farage's face is a taster of what will happen if this type of person gets into power. They believe in violence and threats of violence for political ends an to encourage self-censorship to promote obedience. Hitler adopted this tactic in 1929. Learn from history

I believe in democracy and allowing extremists the opportunity to be 'hoisted by their own petard'

apologies for the rant but I fear for the UK should this Marxist poison ever gain power

Poor Aus3009. Like a lamb to the slaughter. Corbyn is a pure bred Marxist.

McDonnell is a self-declared Stalinist. Indeed he gives a speech to an assorted collection of Communists in Trafalgar Square every May Day triggering the Ukraine government to make a formal protest to the UK government each year. Holodomor genocide is something McDonnell routinely dismisses as Western propaganda. The man's an existential threat

McCluskey. Labour's 'puppet-master'. Another Stalinist banned from Labour by Kinnock who he described as a 'serious and persistent threat'

Seamus Milne. Propaganda Chief and ardent Marxist. Sinister

And Jon Lansmann. Sinister in the extreme

The 5 horsemen with plans to turn the UK into a Marxist dystopian ****-hole should they be given the chance by morons looking for a free-lunch (some would say, bribed using their own money)

This isn't the Labour party. Labour died in the early 1970's. These are Marxist thugs that conceal their authoritarian nature behind the veneer of the term 'Labour party'.

I am convinced that this nation is composed of clueless, naive idiots who are so easily deceived with mere words, imagery and memory

It is unfortunate that people still associate Labour with Attlee and even Wilson.

This is not the Labour party. Labour is but a mere conduit to access political power.

Nationalisation of BT is akin to Hitler or Stalin taking control of the German media in 1930. The puppet master (McCluskey) is an avowed Stalinist. Kinnock described him when he banned him from Labour as 'an existential threat'

And bonds in return for your equity? The taxpayer is being told they must finance the purchase of your equity so that scum Labour can take control of our internet and bring it under Marxist control. What planet are you people on?

Disturbing does not begin to describe what we are seeing with Labour's plans

How will a BMW vehicle for example signal a Ford vehicle that an event has taken place?

Talk of vehicle to vehicle interconnectivity would surely require some form of central processing system or conduit or would cars of all competing makes be able to communicate with each other outside of the driver's control?

I'm trying to understand how this would function in the real world

Say for example I fell asleep at the wheel of my BMW car on a motorway and my car detected this event. Would my car signal to every other make of car in the immediate vicinity that this had happened simply to warn them of such an event simply to make them aware of a heightened risk?

Moreover, would my car signal this event to the -

- The police?
- The authorities (DVLA for example)
- My wife
- The car manufacturer

etc etc etc...you can see how this could become a problem in terms of microscopic monitoring...rules would need to be in place as I suspect one of the main aims for car-makers is to turn the (and your) car into a revenue generating opportunity. For the authorities I suspect monitoring and control would be their undeclared aim

Parliamentary regulation would need to be strict to prevent abuse of liberty

Who would be in the loop and who wouldn't?

raised around $400m this week. Their EV includes facial recognition, driver status monitoring...based in California and China

Look at the nature and size of those contracted revenues (predictability and security of sales) and the identity of the customers. They're blue chip quality. We are fortunate to have developed superb commercial relationships with such huge companies. That makes SEE a very, very tempting target indeed especially as DMS becomes an indispensable component in a vehicle's construction with other features as well being developed around DMS.

I think this has already been posted but with the founding members being GM, Toyota and Ford it seems pleasing that we already have GM and Ford in the bag. Is Toyota next and are the main automakers content to share SEE DMS while tweaking SEE software to match their particular vehicles?

They do intend to install Driver State Monitoring in their test vehicles - as per the article

'The best practice ultimately provides a road map for AV testing companies to follow, including mandatory breaks for the test driver, driver state monitoring and post-trip briefings.'

Opening keynote at Techtonic - The National Summit on Artificial Intelligence
Old Parliament House Canberra

15 November 2019

I’m so thrilled to be here to officially open Techtonic – the inaugural national summit on artificial intelligence.

I saw the need for an event like this to bring together key AI stakeholders from around the country, as we look to build a strong AI ecosystem in Australia, and maximise the benefits of AI for all Australians.

We really have brought together some of the best AI minds as we today focus on Shaping Australia’s AI Future.''

https://www.minister.industry.gov.au/ministers/karenandrews/speeches/opening-keynote-techtonic-national-summit-artificial-intelligence

SEE, relevant excerpt. But it does seem the Aus govt has a fondness for SEE and its technology -

''Today you’ll also have the chance to visit our exhibition, which has a range of amazing examples on how AI can benefit our lives.

These include:

Driver Monitoring Systems—this technology, developed by local business Seeing Machines, detects and manages drowsiness, distraction and the driver’s cognitive state, improving driver safety.''

You lot are ABSOLUTELY clueless. Labour is a sinister Marxist insurgency you clueless idiots. Their desire IS THE CONTROL OF THE INTERNET and they can only achieve total control by taking it back under the control of Marxist Labour and the hard left union control if they achieve power

Labour's aim is to bring all media outlets under political control and that includes the net

Understand one thing. This Labour party IS NOT THE LABOUR PARTY. It is LABOUR in name only.

Wake up, you're being conned by the lure of the free-lunch..it's the classic tactic used by scum throughout the decades...Chavez tried this successfully with the Venezuelans and now that nation's people are living in an authoritarian nightmare...

This is akin to 1929 when the German's were conned by another hater of Capitalism and the jews

The NTSB is a believer in tech to monitor driver attentiveness for both L2 and beyond. ''Regulators and automotive safety bodies are now including driver monitoring in their roadmaps, such as EURO NCAP, which aims to incorporate driver monitoring in its ratings from 2020. The European Commission has also made recommendations to make driver monitoring mandatory. Even partially autonomous vehicles will need measures to ensure driver attentiveness, as suggested by the NTSB'' (Tata)

What does Mather mean by 'strategic'? Sale of stakes in other projects or more from Cascabel or a straight placement?

CRC Projects – The future integrated driver monitoring solution for heavy vehicles

Last Updated: 11 November 2019

CRC-P Grant is helping Seeing Machines to develop their technology to alert distracted or tired drivers.

Seeing Machines, in partnership with Monash University’s Accident Research Centre and Ron Finemore Transport, was awarded an Australian Government CRC Project Grant for $2.25 million over three years to work on a project which builds on Seeing Machines’ Guardian technology platform that actively monitors for and alerts drivers to fatigue and distraction.

The CRC-P work will help to refine Seeing Machine’s current sensing methods for distraction and drowsiness to develop new state sensing algorithms for cognitive distraction and workload.

cont.........

Data gathering, both using simulation and on-road measurements, will help to refine the system’s current sensing abilities, along with applying the latest thinking around the design of the human machine interface.

The CRC-P grant has enabled Seeing Machines, through collaborative research, to engage in a transformational form of product development R&D. It will commit resources to the project in the form of new employees based in Canberra.

These scientists will be charged with applying human factors and analytical methods to design and analyse complex datasets, write up technical reports once data is analysed and contribute to the design of ongoing research studies related to the project.
