The law not technology will decide what levels of autonomy will appear in the 'car of the future'..I cannot see a fully-auto car without some form of human intervention...

can you imagine a scenario in which a car full of children malfunctions - at least with an alert human intervening the damage may be mitigated

safety not lazy-arsed convenience must be the priority

and to find this up 20% is a shock!

news in the pipeline? The volume suggests someone knows something

well done all

just printed

why not sell at a higher price? Why sell 850k at 21.25p?

I'm speechless

Another thought --- I wonder of there's certain clauses in SEE's contracts with GM, BMW etc with regards to an offer for SEE? If SEE is taken over then GM won't be working with SEE any longer but only SEE in name....there's issues of competitor secrecy etc

Does anyone know how much this data on driver monitoring is worth? Is it attributed a commercial value on the balance sheet? It would cost a pretty penny for a start-up company to accumulate such a vast database of knowledge - just a thought

the real money is in mass produced vehicles - it's all about volumes

Why would Martin Hull join Echo now? Why would he choose to leave a big-hitter firm like Rothschild's and join a relatively small oiler like Echo? Does he know something we don't that has persuaded him to do so? Did Fiona reveal future plans and news not yet released that persuaded him to join Echo?

Could they have plans that dwarf current expectations?

It seems Fiona's shuffling the board in preparation for greater things to come

''Echo Energy

I attended the Echo analysts meeting this week which was of considerable interest and justifies the continuing increase in the share price. Today they announce that Martin Hull is to join as CFO from Rothschild where he has been MD in the Latam department and will give significant strength to the executive team. With Julian Bessa aboard and Geoff Probert who was very impressive at the meeting, recently joined, the company has a very strong group of people at the top.''

Political risk (as per location of company assets) can completely devalue a stock due to elevated risk of asset seizure-licence revocation - it's nice to know that political relationship between UK-Arg is now on the mend - it bodes well for all UK companies based in Arg.

SCAP sat on the offer like a dork with 100k - come on , get out of the way...

The indicative spread is sat 4.7% but you can buy and sell well within the spread

16.5 sell
16.64 buy

that's a decent spread

I believe this will properly motor when the flippers have finished...

thanks to : on AD-VEE-FF-N

A link to yesterday's commons statement is here:-

hTtps://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-statements/written-statement/Lords/2018-06-27/HLWS773/

...for anyone who missed it or was wondering about the SP rise.

The relevancies are obvious I think?

But the bit reading : "During the visit an historic UK-Argentina Joint Communiqué was agreed that established closer co-operation across our bilateral relationship (including in defence) and secured important benefits for the Falkland Islanders. "

...is very significant to the cost of development and export costs.

Apparently, China is a huge market ;)
