Peace talks between Kyiv and Moscow are starting to sound “more realistic,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Wednesday, hours before speaking to Congress, as both sides signal progress in negotiations three weeks into Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov said Wednesday negotiations with Ukraine are tough but “specific wordings” of a peace agreement were “close to being agreed,” including neutrality for Kyiv and security guarantees for Moscow, according to the Financial Times.

The comment marks the most optimistic statement on peace negotiations from a senior Russian official during the war and follows a concession from Zelensky on Tuesday acknowledging that Ukraine must “accept” it will not become a member of NATO despite its aspirations.
Zelensky said Ukraine will instead have to rely on “security guarantees” from foreign powers for its protection, hinting at a possible compromise over one of President Vladimir Putin’s key goals.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, a NATO founder, reinforced the concession on Wednesday, saying there is “no way Ukraine is going to join NATO anytime soon” and that Zelensky understood the “reality of the position.”

NATO does not admit countries with unsettled territorial conflicts, however, and Johnson said decisions about the future of Ukraine would “be for the Ukrainian people” and their “elected leader” to make.

Mercedes is planning to unveil the EQS SUV in its full glory on April 19, and ahead of that, I am afforded the opportunity to slide into the front passenger seat for a quick ride both on-road and off. But before we head onto the forest paths tucked away around Mercedes-Benz's vehicle plant in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, I have a lovely new interior to take in, too.
The passenger display has a new trick, too: The driver's eye monitor can tell if they're trying to sneak a peek, at which point it will disable the screen until the driver puts their eyes back on the road. Not only is it a cool piece of new tech using existing systems, it also happens to be the only way the feds will let Mercedes-Benz play a video on the dashboard of a moving vehicle.
https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.cnet.com/google-amp/news/2023-mercedes-benz-eqs-suv-first-ride-interior-review/

Passengers will have to wear headphones to avoid distracting the driver, but Mercedes will also employ a second safeguard to guarantee the driver is paying attention.The car will dim the passenger screen if it catches the driver trying to look at it, using the driver monitoring system to track their eyes.
https://www.mbeqclub.com/threads/mercedes-eqs-suv-lets-front-passenger-watch-video-while-car-is-moving.2045/#post-10182

Passengers can use their display to watch a movie or video content even when the car is moving, though if a driver tries to glance over to take a look, a camera detects his or her face moving round and automatically dims the display. Don’t be surprised to see bored EQS drivers sitting in freeway traffic wearing scream masks to disguise the fact that they’re watching Schitt’s Creak.

If all this sounds familiar, it should. Ford basically built a version of General Motors’ groundbreaking Super Cruise, which launched in the Cadillac CT6 sedan and has been out for about five years. The functionality of these two systems is almost the same, though GM’s Enhanced Super Cruise does have two significant advantages. First, it can automatically change lanes. Just tap the turn signal stalk and if there’s nothing in the way, the vehicle will move over on its own. Second, you can tow with Enhanced Super Cruise, meaning you can trailer your boat to the lake for a long weekend without having to steer, or at least, steer as much. Undoubtedly, Ford engineers are hard at work developing similar features that will be enabled in future updates.

GM confirmed that it is starting production of the Cadillac LYRIQ electric car next week. The automaker couldn’t confirm when deliveries would start but said it plans to reopen orders in May after selling out so quickly last year.
Now GM confirmed that production of the LYRIQ is going to start on March 21 next week.

When asked, GM couldn’t confirm when deliveries would start beyond in “a few months,” but the automaker confirmed that it would reopen orders for the LYRIQ on May 19. In the meantime, the automaker will work through the backlog of existing orders secured last year.

Ahead of opening orders again, GM is on-boarding dealerships to the “Cadillac EV experience,” a new retail experience underpinned by the GM Digital Retail Platform. GM is trying to modernize its dealer experience to compete with companies like Tesla who don’t use the dealer model.

Thats good news. In the current climate Iam sure Military training has risen to the top of the agenda for most Countries.

This now allows us to work with Collins, CAE & L3 to supply the big market.

The Air Force is still far from its goal of training about 1,500 new pilots a year as it seeks to close a lingering shortfall, and help keep up with the long-running exodus of pilots going to well-paying commercial airline jobs.

But Air Education and Training Command said that it's seeing progress, and hopes that a combination of technologies and new approaches will help it increase how many new pilots it can graduate each year.

AETC commander Lt. Gen. Brad Webb said in a Sept. 13 call with reporters that the Air Force's technology-fueled revamp of pilot training is starting to yield results.

"We're constantly blowing up and reinventing" the original Pilot Training Next technology, Webb said.

The USAF is facing a well-publicized critical shortage in pilots. Airlines are on the verge of a new round of pilot recruitment, and training new military aviators has never been more time-consuming and expensive. These are some of the principal drivers underpinning the need for a major overhaul in the way the USAF trains its new aviators.

Looks like updated list? How many are we in?

The auto industry is undergoing a paradigm shift due to the carbon neutrality goals in North America, Europe, and China, and top automakers are preparing a massive ZEV onslaught to bring down their average emissions. 2022 will be the year with the highest number of new electric car concepts, world premieres and market launches. More than 60 production EVs are debuting or launching for customers this year, and unsurprisingly most are SUVs. Many of the new electric cars 2022 will see debuting and/or coming to the showrooms will be models designed from the outset to run solely on electric power.

Aconcept

Things could change very quickly if a few $100-200m contracts were announced though. At $1b Auto orderbook we should see a big rise.

After all what contracts need to be updated? Every single one except VW/Magna $125m. All these are only declared at a fraction of what they are most likely now.

GM
Ford
BMW
Mercedes

And thats with a $0 value on aviation and not much for Fleet.....

S2020

Very sensible as always in your thoughts. I truly believe the $5b is the starting point. In 12-24 months the powers that be may think hold out for the big bucks.

Lets see how the Mobileye sale goes? It will make the board think iam sure?

And Intel will have $25b burning a hole in their pocket, while still owning 50% + of Mobileye. They may spend a few $billion on Chip plants as planned but still many $billions left for further acquisitions.

You could be right but iam hoping if so then its at a decent price :) 40p+ min

Qualcomm seem to be mopping up yet we havent seen a Q RNS yet. Come on SEE.....

In the new era of smart electric vehicles and autonomous driving, the former ADAS overlord Mobileye has fallen behind.

Last week, Qualcomm announced a partnership with BMW at the 2021 Investor Conference. The latter's new cars will use the Qualcomm Snapdragon Ride autonomous driving platform (including chips) from 2025.

BMW and Mobileye formed an autonomous driving alliance in 2016, and a large number of its models are equipped with Mobileye's EyeQ series chips, and even the two sides also jointly hold some technical patents, which can be called iron buddies.

What's more frightening is that among the new models that will be launched in 2022 and beyond, especially smart electric cars, almost all have chosen the autonomous driving chips of technology giants such as Nvidia, Qualcomm and Huawei...

At present, there are only two models that use Mobileye's latest generation EyeQ5 chip in the world, and there are only two models: Krypton 001 and BMW iX, and BMW also announced that it will change to Qualcomm Ride in the future.

The era belonging to Mobileye has already ended.

1. Car companies are abandoning Mobileye, NVIDIA and Qualcomm are the new favorites
The cooperation between BMW and Mobileye can be traced back to 2007, when Mobileye's vision solutions supported the lane departure warning and adaptive cruise functions of BMW's 5 series and 6 series. Since then, the relationship between Mobileye and BMW has been very close. In 2016, BMW also announced high-profile cooperation with Mobileye and Intel to develop L4 self-driving cars, becoming a veritable "iron triangle" combination.

This is the pinnacle of Mobileye.

Not long after the alliance was established, Intel announced the acquisition of Mobileye for $15.3 billion (approximately 97.4 billion yuan), shocking the entire technology circle and the automotive industry.

The Cadillac Escalade-V sits at the intersection of opulence and ultra-high-performance, bringing a range-topping supercharged powerhouse to the luxury SUV. Back in January, GM released a short teaser video before finally confirming the Escalade-V’s existence, giving us a first look at the high-performance SUV without giving too much away, but that’s soon going to change.

The Cadillac Escalade-V will finally debut on May 11th, 2022. Cadillac and GM promise to “reveal the pulse-pounding specs, details and availability of the 2023 Cadillac Escalade-V,” according to a press release. The debut will take place on the luxury marque’s website.

All of those systems, however, only operate with the full attention of the driver; Super Cruise disengages if the car catches you not paying attention. BMW incorporating Level 3 would be a major leap forward: Level 3 allows drivers to divert their attention from the road, but still take over if needed.

It's been tricky for automakers to get to Level 3 — and for authorities to regulate it. It's never been entirely clear how it's fair on the driver to disengage but have to re-engage at a moment's notice. Manufacturers are also finding it's not a direct leap from Level 3 technology to Level 4, where the driver never needs to worry about taking control — which would permit companies to automate things like taxi services and long-haul trucking.

But Level 3 is also the threshold where self-driving becomes a real value-add for the customer (and something they will be willing to pay a premium for). Instead of being mildly less fatigued from not holding the wheel, the driver could recover time by catching up on work emails.

If BMW gets Level 3 technology, it may end up in some American cars. Reports have BMW collaborating with Stellantis on Level 3 self-driving to debut the technology in 2024.
