Garmin on the slidedeck the other day, first time I have seen that

All this talk of a monopoly, its not possible, no way in the world will one Pillar win all the design wins, we will have wins via Xilinx, wins via Qualcomm snapdragon and wins via our many semiconductor company licenses.

I am waiting for the day that Paul remembers his Scottish heritage and turns all Bill Shankly

“A lot of football success is in the mind. You must believe you are the best and then make sure that you are. In my time at Anfield we always said we had the best two teams on Merseyside, Liverpool and Liverpool reserves.”

Thanks updownwego

Ghost, LSE makes you serve a 2 week apprenticeship before allowing you post links.

The long- termers will take about 2 years to take you seriously

Yim, can you post a link to that event please?

Great find by Klick .

Conti and Denso, strengthens my belief for VW Group and Toyota

Garmin, perhaps a license of Guardian

Right at the end he hints of uses outside of transport
"Large companies to take our technology under license and deploy into the markets in which they specialise"

Volvo rated even lower than Tesla

The BMW internal camera appears to be an ornament

"BMW's appropriately named Driving Assistant Professional accurately portrays system functionality. The promotional material and the handbook correctly indicate the limitations of the system capabilities. Status information is clear, and the 3-Series offers a head-up display showing the system status in the driver’s direct line of sight. BMW equipped the 3-Series with an internal camera but it is not used for the functionality tested in Driver Monitoring, and relies only on steering wheel input. The system balances driver steering input with lane guidance, promoting co-operative driving."

The 3 Series was named as a model by SEYE

Facts not water cooler chats

The detailed comment on the Ncap website is damning for Tesla

"Tesla’s system name Autopilot is inappropriate as it suggests full automation. The promotional material suggests automation where the handbook correctly indicates the limitations of the system capabilities, which could lead to confusion. Status information is clear, but the Model 3 does not offer a head-up display showing the system status in the driver’s direct line of sight. While the Tesla is equipped with an internal camera, it is not used for Driver Monitoring relying only on steering wheel input for driver engagement. The system resists driver steering input and then disengages, limiting co-operative driving."

At the CMD last Nov Colin Barnden went into detail on the Conti system, we can add that to our long list

That video is basically an advert for SM

"The driver needs to be responsible and engaged at all times behind the wheel"

Great post on linkedin by Paul Mcglone , Seeing Machines CEO

"In a recent post I referred to the the tectonic plates, the big movers in the auto tech arena setting up for the battle. We are convinced at #seeingmachines that high performance #dms and the bedrock of best in class eye tracking is central to this theme. Software convergence inside and outside the cabin, connectivity and optimum human interface and experience is key. That’s why we lead with our systems approach. Human Factors excellence, real world naturalistic data, world leading imbedding and optical path design, augmenting AI and machine learning. We believe this combination is unique. Follow us closely as the big game unfolds in the transport world. We are here to save lives. Everyone deserves to get home safely. #innovation #purpose #different #teamwork"

Another strong endorsement of the Seeing Machines aftermarket Fleet product

https://www.connectsource.com.au/review-of-guardian-by-seeing-machines-2/

"Our drivers regularly voice that they feel more confident knowing the fatigue monitoring system is installed. It’s monitoring drivers’ levels of fatigue and reacting when a distraction or fatigue event is recorded. I am extremely pleased with how the system works and feel more assured having the knowledge that distraction and fatigue event alerts are sent to our business in real time to prevent an incident."

Great chart by one of the posters on here who I fully trust, Mr Lewbo.

Great article by Colin Barnden

What, all we really know is the annual results are due 30th Oct, the CAT license deal was announced a week before the results back in 2015.

Yerry, goid question re H&H

Honda, are the top customer for Veoneer and work with Renesas. So it would be a chip solution for them imo.

Hyundai are interesting and I expect SM are building a relationship with Hyundai Mobis

Sssh, no one say ir

Klick, my guess would be BMW, Colin B has posted a few hints on linkedin

"This is a story of how innovation triumphs over #groupthink. While Intel Corporation and NVIDIA were focused on developing high-performance processors and AI for a self-driving future, Cerence Inc., Google, Qualcomm and Seeing Machines appear to have been busy developing technology that will revolutionize the in-cabin experience and substantially reduce the distraction from smartphones."

Then about Cerence he says

"Can't quite tell how this fits together yet, but Cerence Inc. Look will clearly work in collaboration with a vision-based DMS. Best guess is a partnership starting with Seeing Machines and BMW Group for the iNEXT platform in 2021. Now seeing the outline of the next generation of automotive UI coming together. The fidelity of the DMS must be incredible to accomplish some of these requests. Exciting!"

I wonder what Pillars the high volume numbers will go with.

Ford - Pillar One via Xilinx
VW - Pillar 2 via Qualcomm snapdragon
Toyota - Pillar 3 via Renesas

It will be fun to find out, better than searching to try work out who Royal Buek are thats for sure
