Its all coming :)

No-effort steering is possible with the Highway Assist System, which is Jeep’s adaptive cruise control with lane-centering that’s exclusive to the Grand Wagoneer. It did a capable job keeping the big SUV centered in its lane with just a hand on the wheel, except on the Saw Mill’s sharper curves, when it alerted the driver to retake steering duties. We’re told a hands-free, GM Super Cruise–style semi-autonomous system is coming, but as to timing, Jeep officials would only say “soon.”

Cadillac recently moved up Lyriq's debut by nine months to get a jumpstart on its goals. The 2023 Lyriq will likely make its U.S. debut long before being launched in the China market. Cadillac's parent GM said it might launch the electric Lyriq as early as Q1 2022.

FIH Mobile and Stellantis have established a joint venture to deliver automotive ****pit solutions to be known as Mobile Drive.

Mobile Drive will be equally owned by Stellantis and Foxconn Technology Group, with product development and technology gains expedited through the integration of global supply chains.

Management team of the new entity will comprise senior executives from each company. The move comes after a Memorandum of Understanding was initially signed on 18 May, 2021.

Mobile Drive will focus on developing infotainment and telematics solutions, as well as a cloud service platform, which will aim to deliver a smart ****pit.

Its roadmap of software innovations will include artificial intelligence-based applications, navigation, voice assistance, e-commerce store operations and payment services integration, among others. The hardware innovations will be related to the smart ****pit and telematics box.

Through the exchange of intellectual property by its founding entities and the vertical integration of respective supply chains, Mobile Drive maintains it will be able to “create automotive digital services to achieve a seamless user experience in and outside the vehicle.”

In the future, the smart ****pit solution will not only be available to all Stellantis vehicles, but also to third-party vehicle manufacturers.

Occupant safety monitoring (OcSM)

While airbags save countless lives in the roads each year, airbag systems aren’t perfect, and the effectiveness of airbags can be compromised if passengers are sat in non-standard positions the airbags were not designed for. Occupant safety monitoring (OcSM) systems try and correct these issues by constantly monitoring the positions of passengers’ heads and shoulders. This information is constantly fed into the OcSM system, which adapts the planned release of the airbag to suit passenger location.

Fatigue detection technology

Similar to lane monitoring, fatigue detection technology goes further in discerning whether the driver is tired and at risk of falling asleep at the wheel. The technology, found in a range of vehicles including Audi, BMW, Ford, and Nissan cars, monitors the movement of the steering wheel, the vehicle’s lane positioning, and the face of the driver. Some systems even monitor brain activity and heart rate.

Lots of new models with DMS hopefully from SEE in many.

EV sales in first half of 2021 exceeded figures for whole of 2020.

"Several carmakers have now set timelines to become 100% electric: Jaguar Land Rover (2025), Volvo (2030), Mazda (2030), Ford in Europe (2030), Nissan (early 2030s), GM (2035), Daimler (2039), and Honda (2040)," the report said.

"Other carmakers have committed to electric vehicle model targets. By 2025, Audi will have 30 electric vehicle models available, Hyundai will have 23 models, Groupe Renault will have 24 models, and GM will have 30 models. The Volkswagen Group will have 70 new electric models available by 2028."

Estimates on many models from various OEMs should surpass estimates.

Exclusive: Ford Mustang Mach-E Production Capacity Could Be 175,000 Vehicles A Year!
When the Ford Mustang Mach-E was revealed in November 2019, Ford indicated that 50,000 units of the electric crossover would be produced in its opening year. A Ford executive confirmed for me earlier this year that that was still the goal for 2021. Of those 50,000, North America was supposed to get 20,000 and Europe 30,000. As we’ve seen in recent months, there has been high consumer demand for the Mustang Mach-E on both continents. That previously led me to speculate that Ford could produce 100,000 units in 2022. I wanted to believe that an even higher number was possible (after all, this is precisely the class of vehicle that people want these days, Mustang is a major brand name, and the Mach-E is a great vehicle across the board), but I also didn’t want to go wild. Additionally, maximum consumer demand is not the same as Ford’s maximum level of ambition and risk tolerance. Ford has to ramp up production capacity to a level that it thinks will be profitable — having a production line that only puts out half of what it can produce or 75% of what it can produce because consumer demand ends up being smaller than anticipated can be disastrous.

“It will essentially reduce the chances of getting into a scenario where the driver isn’t paying attention, but the Tesla system and some of these other systems don’t use such driver monitoring,” he explained. “They just use a torque sensor on the steering wheel,” it’s not very reliable.

In response to Tesla’s investigation, the Alliance for Automotive Innovation pointed out a “strong public statement.” Released by a major US automobile manufacturer in April The importance of effective driver monitoring for Level 2 autonomous driving systems when both lane centering and adaptive cruise control are taking place at the same time.

“Consumers learn and understand the benefits and limitations of these features and build confidence in these proven safety technologies,” said John Bozera, CEO of the Alliance, in a statement. It is important to improve. ” “High-profile crashes undermine consumer acceptance and confidence in vehicles equipped with this technology, and impact consumer acceptance and confidence in higher levels of automation.”

160k by 2025 looks impressive. Swap double for quadruple!
Ford’s new plan includes a ramp to 15,000 vehicles in 2022, 55,000 in 2023, and 80,000 in 2024. Ford will then target 160,000 vehicles in 2025 when the second-generation Lightning hits the road, which will be developed on Ford’s new electric-only TE1 platform (as opposed to the current Lightning which uses a modified F-150 platform). We do not yet know if they plan to continue increasing production after 2025 (but they’d better).

I hope the girl in accounts bought the new calculators.

One tweak on one model for one OEM probably adds $3 million to the lifetime value of contract.

Interestingly if all the RNSs values are on the low estimate side to start with then we could easily treble some in reality. As always says minimum lifetime value which the reality might be way higher.

Be exciting once we get to 50 models on the road and some will be so popular they will double or treble original estimates imo

CAE Australia was contracted to upgrade the Royal Australian Air Force #RAAF three Hawk Mk127 full-mission simulators with the innovative Crew Training System developed by Seeing Machines. CAE Australia and Seeing Machines will collaborate to install and integrate the Crew Training System that features precision eye-tracking technology on the CAE-built Hawk Mk127 full-mission simulators at RAAF Pearce and RAAF Williamtown used as part of the RAAF’s lead-in fighter training program.

Nice find Red.

As we know all manufacturers will be bring the new models out. Most will have DMS & we will get a nice slice of the action no doubt.

Hot New Electric Cars That Are Coming Soon
Automakers are offering new models in all shapes and sizes for 2021 and beyond

Qualcomm seem to be in everything. One day SEE will announce its 1st Qualcomm contract iam sure.

Safety Tech

The XUV700 comes equipped with ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) which includes, Forward Collision Warning, Autonomous Emergency Brakes Using both camera and radar FCW will warn of a possible collision and if you don’t react the AEB system is designed to automatically apply the brakes. ADAS system also features: Lane Departure Warning, Lane Keep Assist, Adaptive cruise Control, Smart Pilot Assist, Traffic Sign Recognition and High Beam Assist.

Apart from that the XUV700 comes with Driver Drowsiness Detection which nudges the driver in case he is feeling drowsy.

Technology

With the XUV700 the company has showcased a lot of new technologies

An outcome of a global collaboration between Mahindra, Visteon, Bosch, Sony and Amazon. AdrenoX is the result of three years of development, an innovative ****pit technology for a cutting-edge driving experience with 60+ connect apps and several built-in apps.

The gateway to this line-up of world-class experiences is through an integrated 10.25-inch dual screen and SmartCore™ The ****pit domain controller software architecture is built with multiple operating systems – Android, QNX and the controller is a 3rd Generation Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ Automotive ****pit Platforms developed in collaboration with Visteon.

With Qualcomm & Omnivision active in China, SEE with staff in Japan & out of the 16 Tier one suppliers we have, then surely some Asian news has to drop at some point.

USA & European OEMs seem to be way ahead of Asian manufacturers, excluding China that are announcing Driver monitoring in new models.

Watch the quiet ones my mum always said though.....

“The way I describe these systems is that they look over your shoulder and wait for you to make an error,” McGehee says.

“So, if you have lane keeping and adaptive cruise control on the highway and you take both hands off of the wheel and start texting, it recognizes that your hands aren’t on the steering wheel. If the system has a head tracking or eye tracking position monitor, it knows pretty quickly you’re not looking up.”

These systems are designed to immediately remind the driver to take control, he adds. This can show up as a visual alert, auditory beep, or even haptic feedback (such as a vibration) to the steering wheel.

Unlike with fully automated vehicles, which are still being tested and many decades away from high-level production, McGehee says, ADAS-equipped vehicles aren’t autonomous. Drivers of these vehicles are still just as responsible for the vehicle’s maneuvers as they would be for one that didn’t have ADAS.

For Robertson, educating drivers on that responsibility is key.

“Where I think [everybody] can do better is by helping drivers understand new technology and how it works and doesn’t work,” she says, “to make sure that drivers understand the limitations of technology, and are aware of how important it is for them to remain alert.”

Teammate from 7min. It looks like the classic see unit. Has to be SEE surely

Tesla—and everyone else in this space—should be focusing efforts on the two main areas that could actually be made better by these systems: long, boring highway drives, and stop-and-go traffic. The situations where humans are most likely to be bad at paying attention and make foolish mistakes, or be fatigued or distracted.

Soul
Iam sure with all the homeworking going on in covid its a product in development so can see how long you on comp at home. Also be good for security and parenting security etc.

Everyone sneaked off down the pub i reckon :)

They must be having a tech blip at the exchange?

This post (https://lnkd.in/dPfnQBaS) includes a video of #DMS from Seeing Machines. I grabbed the frame shown below to help with this explanation.

Early generation DMS gathered "raw data" such as head pose estimation (X,Y,Z) eyelid opening (a measure known as "PERCLOS" or percentage closure), and eye blinks. More recently, eye-gaze vector measurement (x,y,z) has also been possible, but is much more challenging and requires more computational resource. Frame rate has moved from 30fps to 60fps, with imager resolution moving from about 1 megapixel (MP) to 2MP. Occupant monitoring (OMS) is starting to move the imager resolution to 5MP.

The picture below shows the evolution of DMS from "raw data gathering" to "high level signals". The two signals shown are "DDE" or Driver Distraction Event and "DAS" or Driver Attention State. The high level signal classifiers tell us the driver is not distracted (by cellphone or the navigation system, say) and has had eyes on road continuously for 22.4 seconds.

Going from raw data gathering to actionable high level signals is the work of human factors and behavioral research and creates a model of parameters measuring visual distraction, cognitive distraction, drowsiness, attention state and impairment. In future, those signals can be used by an automaker to vary the sensitivity and performance of the braking and steering ADAS in real-time. In this example, the driver is not distracted and has eyes on road, so the "nag" on the lane-keep system can be temporarily turned off. The outcome? You clip the white lane markings in the road, no annyoing and distracting beeps.

There's more. Why is Qualcomm buying Veoneer? To own the perception stack and driving policy software developed by Arriver. Together with DMS from Seeing Machines, Qualcomm will have an automated driving and driver monitoring solution to offer to automakers that directly rivals Mobileye and Nvidia for Level 1 to Level 2+. This is where the battle for the #automotive market is playing out among the Silicon Valley tech giants, not in AVs, lidar and "self-driving".

If you are an investor and seek a deep dive on DMS technology and independent analysis of the potential for the leading DMS suppliers (Cipia, Jungo, Seeing Machines, Smart Eye and Xperi), I can be booked for telephone-based consultancy via GLG and Guidepoint. Just ask for me by name.
