Data is Gold, one share = 1.5km9 Oct 2020 12:21
Data is gold, we the shareholders of SM own 5.16bn KM of realtime data, with 3.365bn shares in issue thats circa 1.5km per share, so simple maths 1m shares = 1.5m KM of precious realtime date.
So how does your personal holding compare to the companies below, not a question you need to answer publicly, tell your doubters whoever they may be.
1) The self driving companies
https://venturebeat.com/2020/01/06/waymos-autonomous-cars-have-driven-20-million-miles-on-public-roads/
Waymo - 20m miles (jan 2020), so 32m km , same as a 21m holding in SM, above ,most individuals , but you can work out your % of a Waymo, 1m holding is 5%
Yandex - 1m miles, so 1.6m km, call it 1m shares
Baudi - same
Cruise - same . what's Cruise worth or valued at to be more accurate? something like $19bn after the Honda and Softbank investment.
Other DMS providers
Smarteye - I have searched their website and annual reports and find no mention of realtime data, they don't have.a Fleet product, so my guess is over the years they have done some road testing but probably the equivalent of enough SM shares to keep Mrs HAGD in Gin.
Nauto, valued at $1bn+ after a SoftBank investment a few years back, on their website they claim to have 800m of "AI analysed miles", now that won't all be realtime but I will be generous and assume it is, so 1bn km , equivalent of 20% of the SM data so the Lombard holding.
So its a gold rush, get yourself a bigger shovel.
