Sweden’s Arriver is developing software for perception, drive policy, and everything in between, for the next generation of cars. Veoneer’s dedicated software unit recently announced plans to join forces with BMW and Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. to co-develop Automated Driving Systems.

Giuseppe Rosso, Arriver’s President and Managing Director, has been talking with Auto Futures.

Arriver was created in January, 2021, as part of a collaboration between Veoneer and Qualcomm. Veoneer has subsequently been fully acquired by Qualcomm.

Arriver’s goal is to be one of the key players in the market for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), collaborative and autonomous driving software.

“It builds on more than a decade of experience in Active Safety software development and delivers an open, scalable and flexible architecture solution running today in production with actual product generations and on Qualcomm® Snapdragon Ride™ System on a Chip (SoC) platform for sop 2024/25. Our goal is to provide leading software stacks enabling supervised driver assistance systems to unsupervised highly automated driving,” says Rosso.

Arriver’s Vision Perception software uses the latest artificial intelligence and deep learning techniques to offer functions such three-dimensional object detection, path prediction and probe data map building.

“Arriver’s Vision Perception software is in production today and evaluated against NCAP tests with some of the highest scores, indicating world-class feature solutions and performance.”
The company is collaborating with Qualcomm to deliver scalable ADAS and highly automated driving solutions.

“This platform will also address the growing needs of the automotive ecosystem for scalable and upgradable solutions, which requires highly advanced and power-efficient compute, connectivity, maps and cloud service capabilities across all vehicle tiers. This strategic collaboration effectively enables Qualcomm as a go-to market to Tier 1 suppliers and OEMs for Arriver software,” he explains.

Rosso says Arriver’s key strength is its ability to be open, scalable and flexible.

“As a developer of core software for automation, we must be able to be open to integrate other technology companies’ solutions to our core to a varying degree, a closed system will eventually run into a dead end, will not be able to reach best in class performances and limit the business opportunities ahead. This encompasses every aspect of what makes up a car, from how it moves (horsepower, acceleration), to looks, electrification, and automation.

“We are flexible as auto manufacturers will have different needs and requirements, also down to the individual vehicle model level.

The Only thing that cheers me up knowing its not just us atm is SEYE was 269 last April and now 125 SEK, where was around 11p and 7.5p now.
30% down v 50% + down for the competition.

Hoping for news & a better April for sure.......

Great Wall is the first domestic manufacturer to announce the use of Qualcomm's Ride platform, while overseas is General Motors, as well as Argo, a joint venture between Volkswagen and Ford.
The fourth-generation SA8295 has also received orders from Great Wall and Guangzhou Automobile. In addition, Didi and Xiaomi will also use SA8295.
Qualcomm's advantage is that its mobile phone shipments are large, and most of the research and development costs can be shared. The product is more competitive in price. Only Samsung, MediaTek and Apple can compete with Qualcomm, but Qualcomm's first-mover advantage is already very obvious, and these three major manufacturers should not intend to compete fiercely with Qualcomm in the automotive field.
In the past November, the biggest event in the smart car field was that Qualcomm won BMW. Mobileye will not be out immediately. BMW said that it will still cooperate with Mobileye before 2025 and will use Qualcomm's Ride platform to develop autonomous driving after 2025. A big fan of Nvidia's ****pit field, Mercedes-Benz, from Tegra to Parker to Xavier, has always insisted on using Nvidia chips. Mercedes-Benz has also confirmed that it will mass-produce SA8155 as its core ****pit in 2023, and it is very likely that it will start to introduce the fourth in 2022. Generation ****pit chip SA8295. Qualcomm also made a big punch against Intel and Nvidia.

It's not surprising that Mobileye is out. Mobileye's system is very closed, and autonomous driving uses a wide range of technologies. Only the system that is as open as possible can get a living space, and this will form an ecological threshold. The stronger the stronger, the weaker the weaker. Mobileye selected a niche MIPS CPU that lacks ecological support at the beginning. This RISC instruction set CPU has strong performance and high security, but it lacks ecological support. Recently, MIPS has also joined the RISC-V camp, which makes the future of the MIPS instruction set unpredictable.

Another shortcoming of Mobileye is its slow iteration. A giant company like Intel has a long product line, and Mobileye can't get a resource tilt. Intel's main focus is still on PCs and servers, especially GPGPU. The Intel A3900 series is widely used in the ****pit field, but Intel does not have the energy to continue iterating. Manufacturers such as GM and BMW that originally used the A3900 series have successively switched to Qualcomm. Intel surrendered the market to Qualcomm without any resistance. EyeQ5 has not been shipped in large quantities since its announcement in 2017. The next-generation EyeQ6 is expected to be in 2024/2025, while Nvidia will be replaced every two years, Qualcomm will be replaced every year, and Mobileye will take 3-4 years, which is obviously too backward. NS. Lagging performance is also one of the reasons. Not only the AI ??computing power is low, the CPU computing power is not high, and the GPU is completely absent.

Driver assistance features on the market today will steer the car for you and can adjust its speed with the accelerator and brake, but there’s an important catch: You have to always supervise it, even for capable hands-off-the-wheel systems such as General Motors’ Super Cruise and Ford’s BlueCruise. But that’s changing, thanks to an impressive new offering from Mercedes-Benz, which can finally take over complete responsibility for operating the car under very specific circumstances, freeing the driver to stare at their phone to their heart’s content.

BOLT EUV
The bigger model delivers 115 MPGe and 247 total miles on a full charge. And 200 horsepower. It can hit 60 MPH in 7 seconds. Plus one pedal driving. But best of all, it has Super Cruise. That’s hands-free driving assistance on thousands of miles of freeways in North America. You get all of the features listed above. Along with heated and ventilated seats, three inches more rear leg room, dual level charging, and DC fast charging capability.

Another one of ours...
Seeing Machines has been working closely with Joyson Safety Systems since 2011 to integrate the
Company's software into the General Motors’ Super Cruise driver assistance feature. This system,
based on the Company’s FOVIO e-DME (embedded Driver Monitoring Engine) software, is now
available in three new vehicle models including the General Motors’ 2021 Cadillac CT5, Cadillac CT4
and Chevrolet Bolt.

When transitioning from gas-powered cars to EVs, building vehicles the average consumer can afford is vital. The Chevy Bolt is General Motors’ attempt to fill that need. But unfortunately for Chevrolet, the Bolt experienced serious battery issues that led to a massive recall and production stoppage last year. But the good news is that GM will soon restart Chevy Bolt production.

But according to ABC News, General Motors aims to restart production on the Bolt in early April. The main reason it’s taken so long for GM to restart production is that the automaker prioritized the new batteries for the recalled Bolt models.

Now, LG is producing enough new batteries to replace the recalled ones and provide batteries for brand-new Bolt models. It will mark the end of a months-long production pause.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has launched a new educational campaign that is designed to teach drivers about semi-autonomous driving technology and its limitations.

With names like Autopilot and Full-Self Driving, it’s easy to see why some consumers might be confused and think their vehicles are more capable than they really are. Unfortunately, this is an all too common phenomenon as multiple Tesla drivers have been caught sleeping behind the wheel.

This is incredibly dangerous as Tesla notes “Autopilot, Enhanced Autopilot and Full Self-Driving Capability are intended for use with a fully attentive driver, who has their hands on the wheel and is prepared to take over at any moment.”

Level 3 systems are now starting to show up in consumer vehicles, outside the United States, and they offer conditional automation. As the NHTSA explains, “When engaged, the system handles all aspects of the driving task while you, as the driver, are available to take over driving if requested. If the system can no longer operate and prompts the driver, the driver must be available to resume all aspects of the driving task.”

You never know whats going on behind the scenes Whatif? Qualcomm got connections with us and Tobi

Not all PSVR2 components have been sourced, according to an eye-tracking software manufacturer that says it's still in negotiations with Sony.

As spotted by VGC, Sony still appears to be in talks with component manufacturers regarding the production of its next virtual reality headset, the PSVR2. In a statement released by Tobii, a company which develops eye tracking hardware, it announced that it is “currently in negotiation with Sony Interactive Entertainment to be the eye-tracking technology provider in SIE’s new VR headset, PlayStation VR2?.

https://www.gamesradar.com/uk/psvr2-is-reportedly-still-in-negotiations-over-its-eye-tracking-tech/

Back in February, it was reported that the eye-tracking tech hadn’t been finalized. Meanwhile, a YouTuber with a history of accurate PSVR2 leaks says the device won’t make a holiday 2022 launch. If you were thinking of adding one to your Christmas list, think again. Instead, they say a Q1 2023 release is more likely.

Qualcomm jumps into hot gaming market with new chip for portable game consoles
https://www.cnbc.com/2021/12/01/qualcomm-introduces-new-chip-for-game-consoles.html

The total order value of more than 13 billion US dollars is a figure given by Qualcomm. This week, Volvo Cars became the latest contract customer of Qualcomm's digital ****pit. The latter's upcoming pure electric SUV and Polestar3 SUV will be equipped with Qualcomm's digital ****pit + Google Android operating system. The new car is expected to be unveiled before the end of this year.

Up to now, Qualcomm has signed cooperation agreements with more than 40 OEMs including BMW, GM, Hyundai, Jidu, Xiaopeng, NIO, Volvo, Honda, Renault, etc. to integrate different Snapdragon digital ****pit platforms. According to data released by the Gaogong Intelligent Automobile Research Institute, as of November this year, Qualcomm's ****pit SoC has accounted for more than 80% of the pre-installed mass production share in China's high-end smart car market.

Among them, Desay SV is the latest Tier1 partner of Qualcomm's fourth-generation Snapdragon ****pit platform . The former is currently one of the four suppliers of ****pit domain controllers in the Chinese market that carry more than 100,000 vehicles. According to the plan, the two parties will jointly build the 4th generation Desay SV smart ****pit system based on the 4th generation Snapdragon ****pit platform.

Supported by the 4th generation Snapdragon ****pit platform's leading computing, AI, graphics and image and multimedia performance, Desay SV's 4th generation smart ****pit system can support leading technologies such as multi-screen linkage, sound processing and AR, bringing users Come a rich immersive interactive experience.

Prior to this, Desay SV was the first Chinese supplier to mass-produce and deliver a four-screen interactive digital ****pit based on Qualcomm Snapdragon 820A (the ideal ONE model mass-produced). At present, Desay SV's smart ****pit domain controller based on Qualcomm 8155 has received mass production orders from many car companies and is entering the delivery cycle.

And Baidu's Jidu is the first car manufacturer in China to announce the adoption of the 4th generation Snapdragon ****pit platform. In 2023, Jidu's first mass-produced car will be officially unveiled. It will be equipped with 5nm Qualcomm SA8295P, and the GPU's 3D rendering performance is comparable. At present, the mainstream 8155 chip in the market has a performance improvement of 3 times, and its AI computing power reaches 30TOPS.

The have a great Marketing Dept at Qualcomm, bashing out good vids etc all the time.

The automotive industry is in the middle of a digital transformation, accelerated by the Connected Intelligent Edge and Qualcomm tech like the Snapdragon Digital Chassis and the Snapdragon Ride Platform.

The Snapdragon Digital Chassis is a comprehensive set of cloud-connected automotive platforms for telematics, connectivity, computing, and driver assistance and autonomy. Open, scalable, and upgradeable, the Snapdragon Digital Chassis enables automakers to deliver connected intelligent driving experiences that are safer, customizable, and immersive. Ubiquitous connectivity is available via 5G, C-V2X, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and advanced location capabilities. And automakers can offer features and services through the cloud to create more personalized experiences that continue to evolve long past the original sale date.

The Snapdragon Ride Platform is an integral piece of the Snapdragon Digital Chassis. And the new Snapdragon Ride Vision System — announced at CES 2022 — functions as an expansion to the Qualcomm auto portfolio, featuring an open, scalable, and modular computer vision software stack built on an industry-leading 4-nanometer (4nm) processing node.

The Vision System-on-Chip (SoC) is integrated with the Arriver Vision stack, providing front and surround-view cameras for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and automated driving (AD). Combined with the Arriver Drive Policy stack and a wide array of hardware and software options, the Snapdragon Ride Platform is one of the most scalable, capable, and customizable ADAS/AD solutions available today.

At MWC 2022, Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon said that belief in the cloud —and the Connected Intelligent Edge — is belief in the future of Qualcomm. In the years to come, more than 60 percent of all data will be created outside traditional data hubs — and much of that data will be created by intelligently connected cars. Qualcomm is building a world where everyone and everything is intelligently connected, driving digital transformation in automotive and beyond.

All year long, Yole and System Plus Consulting analysts deliver a comprehensive understanding of the industry, combining technical trends and market evolution. Based on a dedicated methodology and high-added value expertise in the semiconductor technologies applied in the automotive sector, the two companies publish numerous analyses, including technology and market reports, quarterly market monitors, and dedicated teardown tracks throughout the year. More information.
It took ten years to happen… ADAS technologies used to be considered a ‘nice to have’ feature for safety-conscious family car owners. It has now become the new frontier for technology companies like Intel, Qualcomm, Huawei, Apple, Google, and Tesla… So, what has happened and what is next to come?
Mobileye, from Intel, filling for an initial public offering at an estimated value of US$50 billion is a sign of the times when the same number was achieved by Xilinx, acquired by Intel’s competitor, AMD, in February 2022. A few months back, Waymo, the autonomous vehicle arm of Google, was raising US$2.3 billion at a value of US$30 billion while Huawei was shifting 10,000 employees from mobile activities, hit by US sanctions, to autonomous vehicle technology research. Other examples can be mentioned: BMW willing to fight off Tesla by partnering with Qualcomm and Arriver™, the perception venture born from the US$4.5 billion acquisition of Veoneer… More news available on i-Micronews.com.

The long road to autonomy
While quantitatively the transition is almost total, the qualitatively new generations of hardware are dubbed with ‘Level of autonomy’ increments, originally Level 1.
Level 1 includes improved cruise control that could provide warnings to drivers. Then a transition came to Level 2 in different flavors: Level 2+ and now Level 2++ for cars with automated steering and braking, under supervision; in certain ideal conditions, and we cannot yet call it “autonomous driving”, but it is clearly at the top end of “advanced driving assistance”, states Yole’s analysts.
The excitement is therefore palpable at Level 2. Key enabling technologies that benefit from this evolution are cameras, radars, LiDARs, and computing chips.

Seeing Machines logoWe’ve tracked with interest the progress Seeing Machines has made over recent years (see here) as the market moved towards its computer vision technology that is used to create AI powered transport safety operator monitoring systems. H1 (to 31 December 2021) was another encouraging period for the company. Revenue grew 19.4% to A$21.7m for the AIM listed provider, while net loss reduced 17.8% to A$$13.8m. The company raised US$41m from a share placing in November.

OEM revenue (automotive and aviation) rose dramatically by 69% in this developing sector to A$5.2m aided by royalties revenue rolling from the installation of its Driver Monitoring Systems technology. As has been expected, demand for Driver Monitoring System has been gaining momentum as evidenced by legislation in the USA requiring DMS to reduce the risks of distracted and drunk driving, a contract award worth an initial lifetime value of A$125m with the Tier 1 partner for a German automaker, and nine vehicles models in production featuring Seeing Machine technology (a 108% yoy increase). There was also activity within the OEM aviation sector with AirServices Australia and Collins Aerospace both entering into collaboration agreements with Seeing Machines.

Increased royalty revenue (up 16%) also accured within the larger Aftermarket part of the business contributing to total segment revenue of A$16.4m, a 9% increase. Within the Aftermarket (fleet and off-road) business sector the Guardian driver distraction and fatigue solution was fitted to 16.2% more vehicles during H1, a framework agreement was signed with Shell Global Solutions, and EROAD integrated Guardian into its fleet management software. Seeing Machines also set up a European sales team, in Amsterdam, to lead the next phase its development and grow sales of Guardian in the European market.

Trading is within consensus expectations for FY22 and Seeing Machines is not becoming over confident: "There are obviously challenges with the current geopolitical and global inflationary environment and supply chain that affect the market as a whole” CEO Paul McGlone, but it is benefitting from new opportunities created by market momentum and tail winds driving the application of its technology.

It seems all the models we in are selling well. The Mustang, F-150 are ramping up sales. As is the Lyric.

Now this one. Once all in production should out do our expected numbers per model.

GMC Hummer EV pickup truck

Michael Wayland / CNBC

PHOENIX – General Motors has received more than 65,000 reservations for its electric GMC Hummer pickups and SUVs, as the automaker attempts to expedite production of the vehicles to meet demand.

The reservations number is higher than the automaker’s initial expectations, according to Duncan Aldred, global vice president of GMC. The amount of people converting their reservations into orders to buy the Hummer pickup, about 95%, is also higher than expected, he said.

“Production’s actually slightly ahead of plan and we’re putting things in place now to actually expedite that as well, so we can deliver these reservations quicker than we originally thought,” he told CNBC here during a media event. “We’re seeing momentum building.”

March has been the best month for reservations aside from when the vehicles were unveiled, Aldred said. GMC started advertising for the Hummer EV pickup late last month with NBA star Lebron James acting as a celebrity spokesman for the vehicle.

“What we’re looking at now is how can we build the maximum amount and how can we deliver fulfill these reservations as quickly as possible?” Aldred said. “We’re doing all the studies on that and we’re confident we can go a lot quicker than we originally thought, but it still means a reservation now probably means delivering in ’24.”

Totally atm, smaller tech stocks, Cryptos etc all got bashed by the War talk and then starting. Hopefully peace will come soon & things get back on track.

Next 3 months could all change after a couple of $100-200m Auto contracts. Looking forward to 1st half update after June.

From Jan 1st we will be sitting on 46,000 + Fleet connections, have about 30 models on the road & hopefully some aviation contracts in the bag.

Big boys & Directors paying 11p recently shows the min we are undervalued atm. They werent buying at 11p to sell at 11p.

Any update from Cenkos or other brokers out there?

Not bad results & moving forward still. This current half Year should start ramping up in all 3 divisions.

30 more models over next 12 months, so 2-3 per month average. Fleet 5000 last half so should also ramp up after putting in more resources.

Just need to see some contract RNSs now over next 3 months, to show a nice slice of that $1b won.
