Will include Super-Cruise

'updated infotainment gear, a potential new rear independent suspension option, and the inclusion of GM Super Cruise autonomous driving technology.'

Erratum. Hits

How odd that the terms of these oil contracts only become inequitable following the discovery of oil not before. Funny that.

There had been many wells drilled off Guyana until Exxon turned up that had found sweet FA. Then Exxon hit's pay and the critics crawl out of the woodwork moaning and wringing their hands with insincere piety and faux outrage

Does these Exxon haters not understand that by having Exxon in Guyana affords Guyana US military protection from nations like Venezuela? Are they so f----in stupid?

Exxon's discoveries have transformed the futures of every Guyanese child, They can now look forward to decent education, welfare and opportunities

Parent company is Vero. I reckon the insurance companies are looking ahead and seeing mandatory DMS across fleet and car as per NCAP EURO

Tusimple operate out of Tucson, Arizona (It's the same place as SEE).

'relieved human drivers of the need to pay attention during the tedium of stop-and-go traffic.' This is fundamentally incorrect. Poor journalism. Attention MUST BE MAINTAINED AT ALL TIMES. That is the purpose of DMS!

And what's this tosh about a 'human driver'? It's hardly going to be a donkey or hamster at the wheel

errata corrige - 'your'

'Greed' and temptation are not reasons to buy shares. Cold, hard reasoning should always be the foundation of any buy-sell trade. If it feels comfortable and correct I always take a position. if it feels 'forced' it is far better to step back and thank the 'lord' that you're position is now showing decent profits

'Driver monitoring

Volvo thinks the solution to the problem of distracted driving and intoxicated driving will be the introduction of a robust driver-monitoring system, due to arrive with the second generation of Volvo's Scalable Product Architecture in the early 2020s. (Scalable Product Architecture is the toolbox from which it makes the S90/V90/XC90 and S60/V60/XC60 vehicles, and the first SPA2 car will be a new XC90, probably by 2023.) The company is still deep in the research and development phase, so it's premature to discuss the specs of the system at this point. But we do know it will involve gaze-tracking cameras, like the DMS that supports Cadillac's Super Cruise feature.'

Is this a nod to SEE DMS being used in the XC90?

The Car Is the Next Must-Have Consumer Electronic

Cars are getting smarter. But the shift to Level 5 autonomy will take time, testing, and, most of all, the technical chops to perfect the connected car at the component level. That means sensors, 5G, systems on chip, and other foundational elements that are the heart of the autonomous vehicle.

This summer, Drive World Conference & Expo launches in Silicon Valley with North America's largest embedded systems event, Embedded Systems Conference (ESC). The inaugural three-day showcase brings together the brightest minds across the automotive electronics and embedded systems industries who are looking to shape the technology of tomorrow.

Why did SEE incorporate a shell company in Japan?

We did learn from the recent DT article that we are indeed have been testing with Toyota then only recently job adverts appear for positions in Japan. Are the job adverts are a harbinger of good news? Do the new jobs suggest a contract's been secured?

invested $500m in Cambridge Mobile Telematics which provides mobile telematics and analytics for driver monitoring. -

They do focus on driver distraction and believe it's the 'Distraction these days is the most important thing full stop. You look around in a room and everybody is on their phone. But when you’re in a car, you have to remember you’re in charge of basically a deadly weapon.’’ @cmtelematics

TEL AVIV, Israel — U.S. lawmakers and European safety regulators are considering rules that could mandate "child presence detection" systems aimed at avoiding hot-car deaths of unattended children. That has suppliers scrambling to develop new systems for automakers, according to interviews with several high-tech suppliers at a recent industry conference here.

"Everybody is looking at this," said Raviv Melamed, CEO of the Israeli firm Vayyar Imaging. "The moment you have regulation, things are going to move fast," Melamed told Automotive News. "The timelines are very, very close."

Vayyar is one of several vehicle technology suppliers working on child presence systems, as well as other forms of driver and occupant monitoring.

Such features already were attracting interest from consumers as vehicles take on more automatic safety tasks. But the prospect of new regulation for the technology is speeding up detection system development, according to interviews with suppliers here.

The closest deadline comes from the European New Car Assessment Program, popularly known as Euro NCAP, which issues crash-test ratings of up to five stars

This does mention driver monitoring but it's not specifically about DMS more child presence monitoring. What is more important is the effect that impending legislation will have the demand of all monitoring systems as they become mandatory.

Now, insurer State Farm has released research showing that consumers report heightened levels of distracted driving (as evidenced by self-reported use of smartphone applications while driving) in connection with the availability and, presumably, use of ADAS systems such as lane keeping and adaptive cruise control. Once again, the insurance industry appears to be standing in the path of more rapid adoption of safety systems rather than embracing, facilitating and championing their development and introduction.

It is important to bear in mind that State Farm has a more than casual connection with the automotive industry. State Farm safety engineers routinely advise car makers on the placement of vehicle batteries, sensors and other gear in the interest of mitigating the cost of claims and, presumably, preserving lives. One wonders what State Farm is advising as regards lane keeping technology and adaptive cruise control.

The State Farm study raises legitimate concerns. The problem lies in the proposed solution: more and/or better consumer education. What is missing is more affirmative statement of support for these systems and specific guidance for the industry. It is pretty clear that the over-arching message to be taken from the results of the study is that safety systems are facilitating unsafe driving.

There is no question that human beings - over the long run - are likely to become more reliant on built-in vehicle safety systems. That doesn't mean that these systems ought not to be deployed - especially when they offer the prospect of saving lives and reducing crashes.

What is most blatantly absent from State Farm's assessment is a recognition of the proliferation of driver monitoring systems - including systems capable of directly observing drivers - intended to ensure drivers are focused on the driving task. Euro NCAP is leading the charge for the implementation of driver monitoring systems on new type approved cars within a few years. Other regions are likely to follow.

Driver monitoring of this sort can be seen in General Motors' introduction of Super Cruise in select Cadillacs. Cadillac drivers using Super Cruise can engage automated driving on designated highways as long as the driver is paying attention.

State Farm's failure to view its study results in this context conveys the bizarre message that active safety systems encourage bad driving behavior. Watching the latest new car advertisements showing cars avoiding collisions it is clear that the messaging from the industry is that drivers need to continue to pay attention. But if we can't count on good driver behavior, it's good to know that driver monitoring systems will soon arrive to enforce it.

That's a great article. At some point ECO's 15% will be bought by someone with deep pockets

The weakness in the share price is inevitable considering the risk-off taking place across the wider global markets. People are nervous and are being cautious.

We have two positives. Volume is low and in the real world (as distinct to the digital world of the stock market) the company is now firing on all cylinders.
