Despite efforts by Chinese fabless firms to develop competitive products in the car sector, none have managed to rival those from US giants such as Qualcomm.

A powerful chip from US semiconductor giant Qualcomm is touted by Chinese electric vehicle (EV) makers as one of the main selling points of their latest models, showing China’s continued reliance on American core technologies.
In its promotional materials, major Chinese EV maker Li Auto highlighted the smart ****pit of its recently launched flagship L9 model, which is powered by two Snapdragon SA8155P chips – part of Qualcomm’s range of 7-nanometre automotive semiconductors.
Zeerkr, a new energy vehicle brand under Chinese carmaker Geely, said the smart ****pit in the upgraded 001 model, launched this week, also runs on Qualcomm’s 8155P processor, replacing the previous 820A chip.

What's the estimated valuation?
We use what is known as a 2-stage model, which simply means we have two different periods of growth rates for the company's cash flows. Generally the first stage is higher growth, and the second stage is a lower growth phase. To begin with, we have to get estimates of the next ten years of cash flows. Where possible we use analyst estimates, but when these aren't available we extrapolate the previous free cash flow (FCF) from the last estimate or reported value. We assume companies with shrinking free cash flow will slow their rate of shrinkage, and that companies with growing free cash flow will see their growth rate slow, over this period. We do this to reflect that growth tends to slow more in the early years than it does in later years.

Generally we assume that a dollar today is more valuable than a dollar in the future, and so the sum of these future cash flows is then discounted to today's value:

A new battlefield has emerged in the century-long tussle between General Motors and Ford: hands-free driving technology.

In recent testing of GM’s Super Cruise in the 2022 Chevrolet Silverado and Ford’s Bluecruise in the 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning , one thing became clear. GM is far ahead of Ford when it comes to limited hands-free driving, which is an evolution of adaptive cruise control.

Cruise, or speed, control dates as far back as the rivalry between America’s top two automakers. Yet, the first car to feature a modern version of cruise control was the 1958 Chrysler Imperial which was advertised as an “Auto-pilot.” That’s the same and now controversial name Tesla uses for its semi-autonomous drive system. History may be recursive, but this technology has come a long way.

The promise of a car driving itself in traffic while the operator tends to other business has never been closer to reality. And while the technology exists, the current infrastructure and legal framework keep it at bay. To be clear, there is no such thing as a fully self-driving car on sale today. That threshold of being able to enter a destination and go from point A to point B with no interaction between car and passenger has been identified as a Level 5 advanced driving assistance system (ADAS) by the Society for Automotive Engineering. Super Cruise, Autopilot, and Bluecruise, among others, are considered Level 2, nudging towards Level 3.

Level 2 has been identified as using active lane control and adaptive cruise control at the same time, with the driver maintaining control of these functions even if their hands are off the wheel. Most new cars offer this level of technology, with adaptive cruise control maintaining the gap between a lead car and providing a nice respite on highways; active lane control keeps the car centered in its lane, but can be obtrusive to some drivers, based on the latest customer satisfaction survey from J.D. Power.

Level 3 essentially means that once the driver initiates the system and sits behind the wheel, the system takes over for the rest of the way without any intervention from the driver, until the system demands. We’re not there yet.

General Motors (GM) has unveiled its most advanced driver-assist system to date, formerly Ultra Cruise.

The new technology will connect with its existing Super Cruise driver-assist system, with the Super version still available on its more mainstream vehicles and Ultra, according to the American automobile company this week.

Ultra Cruise is a brand-new, advanced driver-assistance technology, and a significant next step in the company''s quest to achieve its goal of zero crashes, zero emissions, and zero congestion, according to GM. Drivers will be able to cross nearly every road, including city streets, subdivision streets, and paved rural roads.

The Detroit-based automobile manufacturer claims that the new technology would ultimately allow for hands-free driving in 95% of all driving scenarios on every paved road in the United States and Canada.

Ultra Cruise, which is currently limited to highway driving, has been announced by GM executive Doug Parks.

Coming to Cadillacs
Ultra Cruise will utilize a combination of cameras, radars, and LiDAR to build with Cadillac cars in 2023, and will be beneficial for more than 2 million miles of roads, with that figure increasing to 3.4 million miles over time.

Ultra Cruise will:

Tesla, Ford, Audi, and BMW have invested heavily in developing advanced driver-assist systems that can relieve stress while driving. As demonstrated by GM''s latest effort, the vehicles remain fully autonomous.

Ultra Cruise''s combination of premium offerings and Super Cruise''s low-cost products will enable us to offer driver-assist technology across price points and segments, according to Parks. There is no word on how much buyers will have to pay to purchase Ultra Cruise, but be sure to update it as soon as we know.

Quite possibly for smaller models we wont quote as lack of resources at the time.

Lets hope some of that $950m + in RFQs drops this Week b4 we drop back into 5p zone.

In many ways self-driving cars are an eventuality and a reality.

As automakers approach full autonomy, several new cars now boast self-driving features that inch toward the goal of driver-less cars soon. Limited hands-free driving systems on the market now are GM's Super Cruise, Tesla's Autopilot, Ford's Bluecruise, and many other ones in various stages of development.

Many of these features can be grouped together in a uniform set of self-driving "levels," which were defined by the Society of Automotive Engineers in 2014 and last updated in 2021.

Although many new car buyers don't—or won't—need to know what each level specifically means, it may be helpful to understand the basic principals to understand what system could be right—and what systems may not be allowed by law in their area.

Exclusive: Qualcomm's India Boss Says Its Tech Is Used By Almost All Indian Automakers

Qualcomm may be the biggest player in the mobility space with almost all Android phones being powered by its chipsets and even the iPhone is dependent on its modems. But slowly and surely, it is building up a big presence in the automotive space as well. Its India boss says that its solutions are equally pervasive in the automotive space in India. Rajen Vagadia, in an exclusive interview with carandbike revealed how Qualcomm was doubling down in the automotive space in India. The company's Snapdragon ****pit and Digital Chassis have become the foundational software and silicon-based underpinnings to digital and electrical bits of the vehicle.

"What we have done is, as a part of one tech roadmap, we are extending all the goodness, and all that is being brought about as a revolution in the smartphone is now coming into the cars. Few things have changed. If you see it is not that connectivity is new for cars, telematics was available a few years back, it's still there, it's getting more sophisticated. Telematics is adopting new dimensions like C-V2X also. As you go, if telematics was some rudimentary stuff and connectivity in the car with your Bluetooth sometime back, it is far more complex today," explains Vagadia, who is the VP and President for Qualcomm in India and SAARC.

“We are moving from the experimentation phase to the commercial phase,” the EU official said.

The legislation will include 17 separate pieces of technical rule-making that will amend how EU countries approve vehicles for sale. It’s part of a much broader revamp of car safety standards called the General Safety Regulation (GSR) — part of which enters into force on Wednesday.

The EU aims to reach zero road deaths by 2050, but to do that it has to boost safety features in cars, as human error is estimated to be at fault in 95 percent of vehicular accidents.

The GSR legislation mandates the use of intelligent speed assistance systems — aimed at stopping drivers from accelerating beyond the speed limit — better safety glass and seatbelts, emergency stop signals, driver drowsiness warning systems and a data unit similar to an airplane’s black box that can record data on crashes.

Under the law, automakers will need to install advanced emergency braking systems from this week that can detect other cars; that’s supposed to be expanded to cover cyclists and pedestrians from 2024.

“These systems [mandated through the GSR] are for driver assistance so they are not here to drive or supervise, they are here to help you,” said the Commission official.

By now I was hoping for 15-20p. Even 8 months ago I was confident we would be there by now. Then the World continued with bad news & inflation, political turmoil, Covid continuing & war in Europe smashed tech stocks globally. On top of this chip shortages, inflation again smashed my expectations along the way.

With shares you can research & find good stuff, stay positive & look on the bright side or can find the doom & gloom & jump off a building instead.

After years of daily research Iam still confident 2022 may not be the boom yet as delays m, but I know it’s the start of bigger things.

I only represent SEE as a lowley shareholder that looks for news to share. Every day I go bed hoping for life changing news in the morning & one day it will be.

The F-150 Lightning is Exhibit A, but upcoming EV pickups, including another from Ford, could surpass it as the technology rushes onward.

Things your pickup can’t do
Aside from new lights, a solid grille panel and the conspicuous lack of exhaust pipes, the Lightning is the size and shape of an F-150, America’s best-selling vehicle since 1976, when Apple was a baby electronics company and if you wanted to make a call when you were away from home, you looked for a phone booth. Ask your parents.

Those similarities aren’t a bug. They’re a feature, though they carry a couple of inherent limitations. We’ll get to them in a minute.

I tested a loaded F-150 Lightning Lariat. With features including Blue Cruise hands-free driving system, a towing package to haul up to 10,000 pounds; 20-inch dark gray alloy wheels; 15.5-inch portrait-oriented touch screen; wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, and electrically locking rear axle. It stickered at $79,044.

Lets hope we get some news at this one from Alexander..

I'll be representing Seeing Machines at Farnborough International Airshow 18-22 July, attending through the Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade) Team Defence Australia delegation, alongside other innovative companies.

I'm looking forward to meeting with aerospace & defence industry partners, clients, and prospects; and in demonstrating our training and airborne applications of pilot monitoring capabilities. With the 2020 trade exhibition cancelled, and Dubai Airshow 2021 being the last major airshow, there should be excellent attendance at #FIA2022, as well as interesting industry announcements and product displays.

Please reach out if you would like to set up a meeting.

ToF camera tech
Driver distraction, one of the scorecard metrics, uses the sensing system to show where the driver is looking throughout a driving trip. “If there’s a problem that’s happening in a specific location, like not stopping at a stop sign because a tree is partially blocking the sign, the camera sees that and we can show that problem area graphically on a map,” Pleune said. A driver can view the overall score for all 11 metrics, or a specific metric score. Focus groups have noted that the driver scorecard could be especially helpful for parents and guardians of teenage drivers.

In-vehicle sensors also can be used to provide body location data, such as the driver’s head, shoulder, knee, elbow and wrist. That data can be used to tailor airbag deployment. The driver monitoring camera typically runs at 10 frames per second. “If automatic braking is happening because of a detected impending crash, the system could increase to 100 frames per second and give that information — the occupant’s distance from the airbag — to the airbag restraint system’s algorithm every 10 milliseconds,” Pleune said.

Knowing an occupant’s position matters. For instance, if the occupant is leaning out the window, not deploying the airbag might be the preferred option. “Having supplemental information would help to develop a more customized experience for a specific incident,” he said.

Veoneer’s in-development Time of Flight (ToF) camera would serve as a supplemental information provider. The camera sends out pulses of light into the vehicle cabin and then precisely measures those pulses of light reflecting off cabin objects to determine the distance objects are from the camera, Van Dan Elzen explained.

Active-safety restraint approaches could benefit from the ToF camera. “This really opens up a completely new area to explore when it comes to deploying airbags in a smarter way,” Svanberg said. The ToF camera and other technologies underscore the company’s solutions-based approach. “It’s what we’ve always done and it’s what we’ll continue to do,” he said.

Well said Maps. Cant agree more. We have all invested our time & money in SEE and hard to watch the fall when we havent had even confirmation of what we would have expected by now based on what weve been told.

10 months ago we were told the $1b & must be $900m + of RFQs still out. Even Nick expects 50% so plenty there. Next 3 Qtrs are now up so we would expect newsflow more often.

1. No extension RNSs
2. No Qualcomm $ RNSs
3. No Model confirmations for Ford
4. No Fleet updates since Shell, like more distributors, more clients etc

If we was all writing a school report iam sure it would be.

Could do a lot better, a lot lot better ;(
