This year, GM is well-positioned to lead the U.S. industry in full-size pickup sales for the seventh consecutive year. And early next year, our pickups raise the bar even higher. The Chevrolet Silverado will offer truck buyers more choices, more technology and more off-road capability. GMC adds the new Sierra Denali Ultimate, the most advanced and luxurious truck in its class. Both Silverado and Sierra will offer Super Cruise with industry-first hands-free trailering, and achieve a 5.8-percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.

Behind the Times. The Swiss should Stick to Clocks,Cheese, Watches & Chocolate :)

But there could be help at hand. Researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Lausanne, have now developed a new device that can actually track your emotions and try fix them as you try to get from point to point, stuck in the confines of your car. The institute, which specialises in facial expressions, monitoring and analysing them, will use their expertise to figure out exactly what is going through the driver’s mind when he/she is behind the wheels. Working with auto people PSA Peugeot Citroen, the scientists have made a device that will use an infra-red camera behind the steering wheel to track facial expressions on the driver’s face to catch signs of rage, irritation and fatigue, among other things. It is when they are in highly emotional states that drivers usually get into incidents on the road that can lead to accidents or danger to them or other drivers on the road. “Additional research aims to explore updating the system in real-time — to complement the static database — a self-taught human-machine interface or a more advanced facial monitoring algorithm,” one of the researchers on the project said recently.

On October 19, 2021, the leading distributor of semiconductor components dedicated to the Asia-Pacific market --- Grand United Nations General Assembly Holdings announced that its subsidiary World Ping launched a driver monitoring system (DMS) solution based on OmniVision OV9284 plan.

DMS is the abbreviation of Driver Monitoring System, which can monitor the driver's fatigue state and dangerous driving behaviors around the clock during the driving of the car. In September 2017, Euro NCAP released Road Map 2025, which listed several technologies such as DMS and AEB as primary safety systems, which also highlighted the importance of DMS systems for future car design. The General Assembly Shiping DMS solution based on OmniVision OV9284 can be used for driver fatigue detection, driver and passenger behavior monitoring, and engine start safety certification and other related functions.
The core device of this solution is the OmniVision OV9284 image sensor, which uses OmniPixel3-GS™ technology to provide a resolution of 1280 x 800 and a video speed of up to 120fps. In addition, OV9284 is also equipped with the industry's advanced near-infrared (NIR) quantum efficiency (QE), with an efficiency of 12% at 940 nanometers, which can help designers achieve sufficient lighting with fewer LEDs, thereby reducing overall system cost and power consumption .

All us long term holders deserve the patience of the Decade Award sitting waiting for it to pop. 2022 was always the year it started though and if we get to the end of 2022 i will be surprised.

With the news this year and ramping up of OMS/DMS, new cars being made and legislation coming then it should all kick off in the next 4-18 months, where we all get what we deserve as a return. Could be better but should be juicy still.

When i started buying SEE Tesla was $7, 12 months ago Shibu inu Crypto was 0.0000000001 something or other.

150 x SP for Tesla in 8 yrs and incredibly 73,890,683.0% for Shiba inu 12 months and 775% in last month alone. If Shiba got to a $1 by a miracle with Elon saying $1.20 I will make a bloody bid myself for SEE to start the ball moving lol.

If Successful will instate all us LTH on the board :)

In addition to the function of detecting driver fatigue or inattention, these regulations also have the function of supervising the safety of child occupants in the car-for example, if parents forget that there are children in the back seat, ****pit sensor technology will use radar sensors and stored object classification algorithms Detected, and then issued an alarm.

And recently, the German Continental Group released such a set of ****pit sensor technology. It is different from the current single-sensing method that only relies on camera or radar. Continental's ****pit sensor combines camera data with radar sensors and intelligent algorithms.

DreamDrive will also incorporate a sophisticated driver-monitoring system and on-board Ethernet Ring networking, with a “computer gateway” at each corner of the vehicle, Lucid said.

General Motors has also announced its intention to produce a lidar-equipped vehicle for the North American market, with its new Ultra Cruise system. However, that system is not expected to debut until 2023, with Cadillac going first. GM has not yet identified which specific models will get the technology.

Lidar use has yet to be widely embraced by OEMs for a number of reasons. The units are expensive, and there have been technical issues to work through, as well. Until now, their use has been limited to experimental self-driving cars, or in extreme high-end vehicles, such as the European-market Mercedes-Maybach S Class, or the limited-edition, Japan-market Honda Legend, whose Honda Sensing Elite system incorporates five lidar units.

Qualcomm's Thomas Dannemann discusses the digital chassis & Snapdragon ride with Nicole Scott and Don Dahlamann.

Cars are a lot less mechanical these days and a car manufacturer is not a software company. OEMs need the help of a supplier a company that lives and breaths software cars are changing, OEMs should do the same. Qualcomm has a holistic approach to how they are looking at the car of today and tomorrow.

Strong volume demand for mono, stereo and thermal camera systems, ADAS ECUs
and driver monitoring systems on several models, and across multiple customers
drove the increase in organic sales.

Active Safety - Net sales for the quarter of $215 million increased by 27% as
compared to 2020. The organic sales increase was 24%, primarily driven by an
intense launch period that started in Q1 2020 and will continue throughout the
remainder of 2021 and into 2022 and 2023. Asia saw the strongest growth during the
quarter, driven by the continued industry wide ramp up phase for Active Safety in
China and the continued ramp up of our Subaru customer programs in Japan.
Strong volume demand for mono, stereo and thermal camera systems, ADAS ECUs

Will we be in the 4th Gen?

The Jietu X70 Zhuge version is equipped with Qualcomm's third-generation Snapdragon chip, which has a higher computing power of 50,000 DMIPS and an 8-core 1.8GHz artificial intelligence engine. With the support of such excellent hardware level, not only allows background multi-tasks to run at the same time, but also with the challenges of continuous software updates and upgrades, they can also hold the winning ticket, so that users do not have to worry about "buy early and fall behind", and software applications can be used frequently. Always new, enjoy the freshest application features.
And such technology can now be realized in cars. The Jietu X70 Zhuge version is equipped with SenseTime's DMS driver monitoring system, which has a powerful face recognition function. It is said that even twins can be accurately distinguished. When the user gets in the car, the camera on the A-pillar will quickly recognize the identity of the car owner, and automatically adjust the seat and rearview mirror to the user's habitual position. At this time, the user only needs to step on the brake pedal to start the vehicle, which is full of exclusivity.

Tesla keeps ignoring the government’s requests to fix Autopilot

The board is “deeply involved” with Tesla’s state of no activity
The board is “deeply involved” with Tesla’s state of no activity in responding to the suggestions, NTSB stated in a letter launched Monday. In reality, Tesla’s failure to reply has resulted in further crashes and additional protection lapses, NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy stated within the letter to Tesla CEO Elon Musk.

“You have got mentioned that ‘protection is all the time the principle design requirement for a Tesla,’” Homendy writes to Musk, ahead of occurring to lament the new unlock of the corporate’s Complete Self-Riding beta device replace the permits some Tesla house owners to make use of a extra complicated model of Autopilot on town and home streets.

“If you’re excited about hanging protection entrance and heart in Tesla automobile design, I invite you to finish motion at the protection suggestions we issued 4 years in the past,” she concludes.

Heating up?

NTSB determined that Tesla’s Autopilot system did not effectively monitor and respond to the driver’s interaction with the steering wheel to ensure driver engagement. The agency recommended Tesla establish safeguards that would limit Autopilot to conditions for which they were designed and to develop ways to more “effectively sense the driver’s level of engagement and alert the driver when engagement is lacking while automated vehicle control systems are in use.”

Tesla has argued that operational design domain limits are not applicable for so-called Level 2 driver assist systems, such as Autopilot, because the driver determines the acceptable operating environment. Homendy pushed back on that argument in her email to Musk, noting that the agency’s crash investigations have “clearly shown that the potential for misuse requires a system design change to ensure safety.”

Homendy also noted that it sent five other automakers that have vehicles with Level 2 driving automation systems a recommendation to apply ways to engage and alert the driver. Those five manufacturers responded to NTSB and described the action they planned to take or were taking to better monitor a driver’s level of engagement, according to Homendy’s letter to Musk.

“Tesla is the only manufacturer that did not officially respond to us about the recommendation,” she wrote.

3 years old this article. Bloody get a move on AUDI....

As there is no steering wheel and no pedals, the Aicon has an unbroken wraparound dashboard that stretches right down each side of the cabin. The panel lights up when the passengers enter the vehicle, and the car’s personal assistant - PIA - recognises the occupants by their telephones and loads personal settings. The touch-sensitive panels also incorporate controls for the air-con and the seating configuration - but the car can also respond to inputs using voice and eye tracking. It’s highly likely many of these features will find their way into the road cars, too.
