Let’s hope they announce something on 22nd or we announce something before that day

We spoke with GMC's marketing director, Rich Latek, at the Detroit Auto Show, and he revealed that interest in the GMC Hummer EV is still extremely strong. Reservations keep climbing, with the total topping 90,000. Not only that, but people are following through on orders.

The 90,000 reservation number is impressive in and of itself, but what's also interesting is that the rate of reservations has been growing. Latek said that in the past few quarters, the number of reservations has been greater than each before it. And, for reference, the reservations are for both the pickup truck and SUV versions.

Anyone on here going tonight with SEE on the Cabaret? About 30mins on each Co presentation.

Of all the opportunities for Qualcomm in diversification,” Amon said, “I think the one we’re having the fastest in terms of winning the future silicon in that industry is the automotive.” He said the company’s differentiation is that it’s not providing a point solution but rather, “We’re providing a digital chassis platform and that concept is resonating with the car companies.”

Given the breadth of automotive offerings and ability for customization, Amon said he sees a multi-year path toward “multiple thousands of dollars” of content in a single vehicle. “We came up with a solution that scales up and down even to the point that, in some cases, you can use the same silicon to run ADAS and infotainment.

Not a bad statement

CEO: Qualcomm is ‘winning the future of the auto semiconductor industry’ ?

Ahead of an Automotive Investor Day event on Sept. 22, Qualcomm CEO Cristiano provided an update on the company’s growth into the automotive sector—along with discussion of market trends around extended reality (XR), the industrial internet of things, and personal computers (PCs)—during the Goldman Sachs Communacopia + Technology Conference. Bottomline, Amon said of Qualcomm’s surge in automotive business, “Qualcomm is really winning the future of the auto semiconductor industry.”

No one gets the DMS/OMS market it seems.

3 bits news + 1 old bit and they still red now aswell

Let’s hope they choose us?
The first order layers, we’re really not concentrating on that. Gaze detection and detection of the facial positions really is done, and it’s done very well by a handful of very good companies. It’s easier for us to buy that and really to concentrate on the second-order and third-order of feature sets. So, we’ve been working with Smart Eye and Seeing Machines to do some of the lower first-order items and then building on top of that with our own Harman activities. However, we do also include Samsung as part of our team, working on driver monitor, in fact some of the driver monitor in the BMW today was based on Samsung technology and some on Harman.

If it can monitor the driver in more ways than that – or is integrated with a camera system to detect drowsiness or inattention – this could be a life-saving tech in more than a way.

No wonder Paul said bdms was ramping up.DMS for all those remote operators :)

Autonomous vehicle (AV) startups have raised tens of billions of dollars based on promises to develop truly self-driving cars, but industry executives and experts say remote human supervisors may be needed permanently to help robot drivers in trouble.

This is the first time Cruise has acknowledged the long-term need for remote human operators.

Like air traffic controllers, such human supervisors could be sitting tens of hundreds of miles away monitoring video feeds from multiple AVs, sometimes with a steering wheel, ready to step in and get stuck robot drivers moving again – AVs invariably stop when they cannot figure out what to do.

Alphabet Inc’s Waymo and Argo, which is backed by Ford Motor Co and Volkswagen AG, declined to comment when asked the same question.

GM recalled and updated software in 80 Cruise self-driving vehicles this month after a June crash in San Francisco left two people injured. U.S. safety regulators said the recalled software could “incorrectly predict” an oncoming vehicle’s path, and Cruise said the unusual scenario would not recur after the update.

TRENDS INFLUENCING THE GROWTH OF THE AUTOMOTIVE DRIVER MONITORING SYSTEMS MARKET:

20–50 million people are injured on the roads annually, while 1.3 million people are killed, according to reports from the WHO (World Health Organization). What is more alarming is that if the current trend continues for about ten years, these numbers will rise by about 65% over the following twenty years. The importance of the driver monitoring system is growing as a result of its potential to decrease accidents and assist drivers in comprehending and adjusting to their riding conditions. This in turn is expected to drive the growth of the Driver Monitoring System market.

The driver monitoring systems market is being further stimulated by consumer demand for vehicles with improved safety features.

Magna production
Fisker has deals with multiple partner companies. Magna Steyr is a manufacturing partner and co-developer for the Ocean, with an agreement that was finalized in December 2020. The Fisker Ocean will be manufactured, starting on November 17, 2022, at Magna’s carbon-neutral facility in Graz, Austria.

In an interview with Fiskerati in August 2022 (watch on YouTube), Fisker said that Magna Steyr has built close to 60 prototypes. Newer prototypes have a lot of refinements, including improved suspension settings and an upgraded user interface. The CEO expects them to be very close to the final production version.

Fisker Intelligent Pilot
The Ocean will feature Fisker Intelligent (FI) Pilot, the company’s ADAS system for enhanced safety and driving comfort. FI Pilot uses a combination of four sensors: a world-first “Digital Radar System” that consists of front and rear radars, a set of cameras (an 8 MP front camera and four surround-view cameras), ultrasonic sensors, and a driver monitoring camera.

Augmenting fighter pilot training with a
non-invasive eye-tracking system: An evaluation in
an operational training context.

Augmenting fighter pilot training with a non-invasive eye-tracking system: An evaluation in an operational training context
Kyle M. Wilson, Alexander Robinson, Rama Myers, Patrick Nolan, & Michael G. Lenné
ABSTRACT
Objective & Significance
The proposed presentation discusses research indicating that pilot training can be improved using eye tracking technology. This study has been conducted with subject matter experts in an
operational training context, demonstrating feasibility for real-world use.
Background
A pilot’s eye behaviour can give important clues about how they are allocating their attention and
what their level of situation awareness is. Eye tracking systems have considerable potential as a
training tool, as they provide an accurate and objective way to measure eye behaviour. While many
previous systems have been impractical outside of laboratory settings, new console-mounted tools
have emerged which enable precise eye and head-tracking without requiring a physical device to
be worn by the pilot. The current research involves a mixed methods study of a console-mounted
eye-tracking system for flight crew training in an introductory fighter pilot training context. The
primary aim is to determine whether providing instructors with an objective real-time visualisation of students’ scanning behaviour facilitates training
