This Porsche exhibit was in the SEE presentation dated 12 Dec 2016

It's the same eye-tracking mechanism, well it looks like it

Is this the new generation architecture referred to in SEE's recent contract win?

AUTOSAR (“AUTomotive Open System ARchitecture”) is a worldwide development partnership of car manufacturers, suppliers and other companies from the electronics, semiconductor and software industries to develop and introduce an open, standardized software architecture for automotive ECUs (electronic control units). The "core partners" of AUTOSAR are the BMW Group, Bosch, Continental, Daimler AG, Ford, General Motors, PSA Group, Toyota and the Volkswagen Group. Compared to AUTOSAR Classic Platform, the Adaptive Platform is based on multi-process POSIX1 operating systems and allows the applications and features of an automotive high-performance ECU to evolve throughout the lifecycle of a vehicle, including Over-The-Air updates.

AUBIST Adaptive Platform is a software platform that is compliant to the AUTOSAR Adaptive Platform specification for the high-performance computing of in-vehicle systems. It is integrated with AUBIST OS POSIX, a POSIX-compliant Real-Time OS with unique distributed microkernel design that fully supports Kalray MPPA® Manycore architecture, enabling Adaptive Applications to seamlessly utilize the Manycore parallel processing computing power.

AUBIST AP's support for Kalray MPPA Coolidge makes it one of the best platforms for high-performance computing of automotive systems such as ADAS and autonomous driving, which require real-time processing of a huge sensor data, image/voice processing, and encryption/signal processing.

Stanphyl Capital Letter - August 2019

We remain short stock and call options in Tesla, which I consider to be the biggest single stock bubble in this whole bubble market.

Elsewhere in the fund's short positions...

We remain short stock and call options in Tesla, Inc. (TSLA), which I consider to be the biggest single stock bubble in this whole bubble market. The core points of our Tesla short thesis are:

Tesla has no "moat" of any kind; i.e., nothing meaningfully proprietary in terms of electric car design or technology, while existing automakers - unlike Tesla­ - have a decades-long "experience moat" of knowing how to mass-produce, distribute and service high-quality cars consistently and profitably.
Tesla is losing a ton of money and has a terrible balance sheet.
Tesla is now a "busted growth story"; demand for its existing models is only being maintained via continual price reductions, and it will have to raise billions of dollars to produce new models in a market soon to be saturated with enormous competition.
Elon Musk is extremely untrustworthy.

and there's a lot more, a lot more to expose Tesla ****

'to damage the value'

Give it a rest. He's a de-ramper ffs. Why should we be polite to someone who desires the value of my investment? I don't think so...All bull****ters will be filtered and those who think I'm a bill****ter can filter me

Using children as part of their protest is beneath and indeed beyond contempt. Political activists are psychotic, indoctrinated and vehemently anti-democratic

From the horse's mouth or in this case Bosch -

Driver monitoring

The driver monitoring camera monitors the alertness and condition of the driver. It can detect distraction, drowsiness, and microsleeps and can alert the driver in time.

Facial recognition makes it possible for the system to identify the driver with absolute certainty. Based on the stored driver profile, the system can then automatically set personal comfort and convenience settings such as optimal seat and mirror positions, the favorite radio station, or the preferred interior temperature.

****In future automated vehicles, it will be necessary to know whether the driver is capable of taking back control of the vehicle in critical situations.****

-

The last sentence reveals the direction of travel for the auto-industry. This bull****ter who's just turned up on the thread is just another agent provocateur...being a fiery character I'll always take the bait

There's nothing valid about it. DMS is mandatory in the EU. It will become mandatory in China, Japan and the US. Safety is paramount. That will not be compromised. Tusk is TALKING ****

don't buy then...couldn't give a ****

Nonsense

Those who may a tad nervous about the approval of new safety regulations when they go to the EU Parliament and Council should read this -

New advanced vehicle safety features will become mandatory in 2022 across EU

26 March 2019

'Last year, the Commission proposed things like the dangerous blind spots on trucks and buses and technology that warns the driver in case of drowsiness or distraction to become mandatory as part of vehicle safety measures aimed at helping save lives.

Number of accidents are expected to be reduced due to advanced safety features, which will pave the way towards increasingly connected and automated mobility, and boost the global innovation and competitiveness edge of the European car industry.

The European Parliament and the Council are now expected to approve formally the political agreement reached by the European Parliament, Council and Commission in the so-called trilogue negotiations.'

And

The proposed car safety features that will become mandatory in the European Union from 2022:

Advanced emergency braking (cars, vans)
Alcohol interlock installation facilitation (cars,
vans, trucks, buses)
Drowsiness and attention detection (cars, vans,
trucks, buses)
Distraction recognition / prevention (cars, vans,
trucks, buses)
Event (accident) data recorder (cars, vans, trucks,
buses)

The last one 'event' is interesting as I'm not sure what it actually entails. It sounds like 'event data' SEE now record when a transgression occurs when monitoring a trigger event

I think this uncertainty could be dragging on the price somewhat

https://news.europawire.eu/new-advanced-vehicle-safety-features-will-become-mandatory-in-2022-across-eu-9238733/eu-press-release/2019/03/26/#

It is what it is. The market just isn't interested at present

that's the general feeling buffet

This looks very interesting. Trams installing Guardian

http://content.tfl.gov.uk/sshrp-4-september-2019-agenda-and-papers.pdf

page 16
4.10 Together with TOL we have installed an in-cab driver protection device to all
trams, which has been in service since October 2017.

4.11 The Driver Protection Device (Guardian, manufactured by Seeing
Machines) detects and prevents fatigue and distraction. The system uses
advanced, safety-verified sensors that track eyelid closures and head
movements so that when fatigue or distraction is detected an in-cab alarm is
sounded and the driver?s seat vibrates to alert the driver. This is the first
time such a device has been used in the rail industry in the UK and has
been commended by the ORR. This system has been shared and
demonstrated to the UK Tram industry for possible implementation on other
tram networks.

4.12 This system is designed to detect driver inattentiveness and provide an
alert, but does not apply the brakes, as suggested as an option in the
recommendation. The ORR has stated it recognises the safety benefits this
system has brought to London Trams.

4.13 Work will continue with TOL to explore what automatic response is
appropriate if a low level of driver attentiveness is detected. That will include
the application of vehicle brakes. Together with TOL, we are reviewing and
evaluating the outcome of the UK Trams research in the context of pending
implementation of the physical prevention of over-speeding system, to
determine if any further measures should be taken.

I don't mean it's our GM deal but the wording is similar to the SEE-GM wording when describing Super Cruise

'Vehicle interior monitoring systems will in future be absolutely essential in automated vehicles for ascertaining whether the driver is able to take control of the vehicle in a particular situation.'..sounds like GM

https://www.bosch-mobility-solutions.com/en/products-and-services/passenger-cars-and-light-commercial-vehicles/interior-and-body-systems/interior-monitoring-systems/

That's spooky. I've just come off Bosch's website only 45 seconds ago as they updated their 'camera' section a couple of days ago. Coincidence with SEE news today?

http://www.theintelligentdriver.com/2019/09/02/cadillac-expands-super-cruise-network-offers-updates/

'In addition to the mileage expansion, the software update will also include performance improvements, enhancements to increase Super Cruise availability and enhancements to the Driver Attention System.'

'GM President, Mark Reuss, also confirmed that Super Cruise is definitely coming to the new 2020 CT5.'

-

I wonder what these 'enhancements' to SEE DMS are?

Euro NCAP demands it to achieve a 5 star rating

''ultimately planning to expand DMS to most of their production"....Ten words that should get every SEE shareholders pulse racing...

'planning' = is a verb. they are planning now..they are active...that means more positive developments to come...

DMS is the future now fully-auto vehicles is seen as a pipe-dream
