Eye tracking plays a major role iam sure..

How Autonomous Vehicles will Transform the In-Car Voice Assistant – Part 1

Driver: “ I need 30 seconds before I can take over.”

VA: "OK, just say ‘take-over control’ when you’re ready.”

Or a scenario when a driver is late for work, but the AV does not perform an overtaking maneuver because its sensors are blocked. The driver leverages gaze detection to provide direction:

Driver: “Overtake that white van ahead and take the fastest route thereafter.”

What is clear is the demands of the DMS processor are rising exponentially, including first distraction and drowsiness, now moving to include impairment (first alcohol, then drugs) with a transition also from DMS to OMS (full-cabin) monitoring.

The benefits in terms of performance and power consumption of a software/hardware co-design approach and having total ownership of both the algorithms and silicon processor will already be abundantly clear to automakers as they make comparisons with a hardware agnostic design approach and plan a DMS/OMS feature roadmap for the next decade.

Software/hardware co-design is the same path as followed by Apple with the development of the new M1 Pro and M1 Max processors, discussed here: https://lnkd.in/dNVqtKuK

It is extremely unusual to see this level of system design competency in an approx. 200 person company.

These issues are extremely technical. If you are an existing or potential investor in #DMS and seek independent analysis of the leading technology suppliers, current state of the market and future direction, I can be booked for telephone-based consultancy via GLG and Guidepoint. Just ask for me by name.

The question of who will regulate cutting-edge driving technologies appears to be answered.

For years, the US government hasn’t regulated driver-assist systems like Tesla’s Autopilot and GM’s SuperCruise. Automakers can do as they please because there are no standards for these systems.

But President Joe Biden’s administration appears to want to change that, with the appointment of Missy Cummings, a Duke University engineering professor who studies autonomous systems and has been critical of Tesla and the federal government’s handling of driver-assist systems like Autopilot. Cummings will be a senior advisor for safety at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Another step forward on the road to electric mobility. Today marks the start of production for the fully electric BMW i4 at our Plant Munich — a significant milestone for our homeplant. By 2023, at least half of all cars from the plant will be electrified.

Fatigue news is everywhere.

Ensure adequate supervision of truck drivers
Employers of truck drivers can make a difference in the number of fatalities by embracing their supervisory responsibilities. First, companies should not ignore rules that guarantee rest breaks for stressed and overworked drivers. Those who are really serious about supervision tasks can offer employee screening for sleep disorders such as sleep apnea.

Monitoring technology can identify when drivers need a break to overcome fatigue more accurately than standardized breaks based on elapsed working hours. Companies can also work hard to implement training prevention efforts and educate employees about the dangers of fatigue.

Employers for transportation workers have a unique opportunity and responsibility to optimize working conditions and hazard control to prevent fatigue-related transportation accidents. They can achieve this through a combination of sleep disorder screening and monitoring measures, technical controls, fatigue prevention / management policies and training.

Truck companies can be held liable for damages in cases where it can be proven that the company was negligent. Evidence of negligence may not be necessary for accidents caused by tired drivers. The truck driver’s employer may be held liable in accordance with doctrines on responses to overall or surrogate liability. If the plaintiff can prove that the driver forged logbook records, they can sue under the doctrine of negligent supervision.

Negligent supervision can also be used by truck drivers as a cause of action. It allows truck drivers to sue their employers for personal injury caused during an accident. The catastrophic nature of most truck accidents often causes accidental damage that exceeds insurance coverage limits.

2022 GMC Sierra Updates: Super Cruise, New Trims and a Fresh Interior at Last

Fresh off last month's showing of the updated 2022 Chevy Silverado, GMC is also polishing up its flagship Sierra pickup with a much-anticipated mid-cycle refresh. The tech-focused update adds a myriad of new bells and whistles (hello updated interior and hands-free Super Cruise driving), an exterior facelift with tweaked headlights, and a pair of new luxury and off-road trims to sit atop GM's pickup hierarchy. With pickups still selling like mad and the Sierra on its way to a record sales year, the update shows the company is at last giving it the kind of features expected of a true flagship half-ton truck.

But there's no doubt we will get a big slice of the pie in DMS/OMS space.

The good bit is the pie is so dam big its probably in The Guiness book of records :)

Least we get paid for every car made i guess :)

The difference is these new subscriptions are simply activation fees for hardware already installed in your vehicle.

Continental updated..

Included, for example, is the ability to detect fatigue or lack of driver attention. These far-reaching legislative changes are accompanied by another regulatory driving force, with the Euro NCAP organization rewarding the installation of interior camera systems from 2023.

Miniaturization of the interior camera enables completely new positioning options, such as integration directly into the display.
Designing this handover safely is a crucial task that self-driving cars have to master. Paired with sensor information and software, an interior camera can detect whether a driver is even able to take back manual control.

In the cabin sensing solution, Continental combines many years of expertise on all aspects of interior cameras for human-machine interaction with extensive know-how in radar sensor technology.
For the first time ever, we are integrating the camera directly into the display, instead of into the steering column or the instrument cluster. For this, Continental is relying on extreme miniaturization of the technology.
With real-time object monitoring of the entire vehicle interior, Continental is going beyond purely driver monitoring and offering an additional building block for future mobility models, such as automated or autonomous driving.

This is another important announcement covering Qualcomm that allows us to see how its #automotive strategy all fits together:

Highway Driving (ADAS): Arriver
Infotainment: BlackBerry #QNX and Google #Android Automotive OS (AAOS)
#DMS: Seeing Machines
Automated Parking: Valeo
Auto-grade #5G #cellular: Qualcomm

The #infotainment software runs on the fourth-generation Qualcomm ****pit applications processor. The Arriver highway driving software runs on Snapdragon Ride. DMS from Seeing Machines runs on the accelerators from either of those chips, depending on the overall system design specified by the automaker.

Twelve months ago, Qualcomm had 14 tier one partners covering infotainment and ADAS. The total today is certain to be higher.

Nvidia's tactical error was in straying into developing complete boards, when in automotive it is a chip and software company. Mobileye's error was to misunderstand the role of DMS and underestimate its significance alongside longitudinal and lateral vehicle control.

Qualcomm just quietly got on with the task of building an automotive ecosystem covering driving policy, infotainment, DMS, automated parking and 5G. The existing relationship with Foxconn is another route to market with new EV automakers, such as Fisker Inc.

I expect very significant automotive announcements from Qualcomm at #CES (Wed, 5 Jan – Sat, 8 Jan 2022). The obvious evolutionary step for the fifth-generation ****pit applications processor and Snapdragon Ride 2 processor would be to integrate DMS using the #Occula core from Seeing Machines.

If you are an existing or potential investor in #DMS and seek independent analysis of the leading technology suppliers, current state of the market and future direction, I can be booked for telephone-based consultancy via GLG and Guidepoint. Just ask for me by name.

Schorn

Yes i think thats realistic. Cenkos has us at 2030 at 0.1% of market.

If we win 40-70% of DMS/OMS market then hard to see anything less, at worse at 10% but even 1% is super super low.

Thats still 10 x Cenkos estimate at this point though.

Cella

Cenkos has 313,000 by 2030 so should start ramping up from next Year. We have Eroad, Shell, CAT and loads great Distributors.

Seeing advertising for someone to ramp up Global distributors, New European HQ aswell.

And to think the value from brokers is still $0 when in fact with legislation coming and DMS gaining exposure this is prob worth more than our current SP on its own.

The drum roll starting hopefully. Everything clicking into place. Just need those pesky RNS's to start dropping...

Blending Human Drivers with Artificial intelligence into a smart driving system increase driver convenience and traffic safety. Join us!
