And as always the value has the upside of aviation & fleet & more big auto wins Iam sure.

The next 8-18 months should have a far better picture of what this could be worth. 50p-£5 and anywhere in between is still my guess.

Talking points
Level three driving autonomy could be a reality in the UK before the end of 2021
Safety advocates still question the new technology
Australia unlikely to follow suit any time soon
‘Hands-free’ driving could be legal on UK roads by the end of this year, the British Government has said.

It’s always one of them ; ) the all nighters are the most fun though, except for the hangover lol

It’s all in the name of research though as friend started selling party patch so have to test them

The eye-tracking market leader, Seeing Machines in Australia, started testing its system in giant mining trucks. A driver who falls asleep and crashes can cost the mining company as much as US$15,000 (RM61,567) an hour as the truck awaits repair.

Seeing Machines is also aggressively pursuing the long-haul truck market, with its system installed in more than 30,000 trucks, according to the company. The data are sent back to Seeing Machines and used to improve the system.

Shares of Seeing Machines Limited (LON: SEE) are up 62% so far in 2021 but appear stuck below the critical 12p resistance level since early February. Can the shares break above the resistance level and rally higher?

The answer is that the fundamentals support a break higher since the company expects to report higher revenues this year combined with higher margins on sales, which could fuel a much bigger rally.

Amid confusion, NTSB to release report on Texas Tesla crash as soon as possible
“We have a very, very experienced investigators that are doing this. It is not like the first time out,” the veteran NTSB official said.

The NTSB has criticized Tesla’s Autopilot after a series of investigations into fatal crashes, including a lack of adequate driver monitoring systems.

DETROIT —The trade association representing most major automakers is offering guidelines for manufacturers to advertise partially automated driving systems and to make sure drivers are paying attention while using them.

The Alliance for Automotive Innovation says its members support the voluntary principles, which come as two federal agencies increase scrutiny of Tesla’s Autopilot diver-assist system after two men were killed in a fiery crash near Houston. Such systems can keep vehicles centered in their lane and a safe distance behind traffic in front of them.

Good thing is Tesla bringing DMS & OMS into the mainstream. Any researcher from a fund will soon realise SEE is where its happening.

With the automotive industry focusing on safety and autonomy, Tesla hopes its new DMS mmWave sensor will help prevent, not only distracted driving but children from being left in hot cars.

The result is that, even when the vehicle is in autonomous mode, drivers are still required to be fully alert and attentive, ready to take over the wheel at a moment’s notice. For this reason, many vehicle makers are beginning to develop and install driver monitoring systems (DMS) into their vehicles, which track things such as driver eye position and body language to determine whether or not the driver is focused on the road.

While Tesla already has some level of DMS in their vehicles, they’ve recently received approval from the FCC for a new mmWave sensor technology which they believe will increase safety in more ways than one.



DMS at a Lower Level
To achieve DMS functions generally requires the system to consist of several key hardware blocks. These often include a camera module, RF sensors, biometric sensors, and a dedicated processor (normally an SoC or ASIC). While the components are not necessarily unique, designing with them in an automotive environment can present many challenges.

Schlem just on DMS so OMS to add...
Driver Monitoring System Market Estimated to Surpass $2.1 Billion by 2026

The global Driver Monitoring System Market is estimated to surpass $2.1 billion marks by 2026 growing at an estimated CAGR of more than 9.8% during the forecast period 2021 to 2026. The surging demand for road safety in automobiles pertaining to driver activeness and stringent government regulations related to driver monitoring will boost the Driver Monitoring Systems market. The market is also driven by an increasing number of accidents and stringent government regulations. The automotive sector has seen a growing inclination towards the safety and comfort of the passenger over the years. This focus on safety of the passengers/driver is illustrated by the steps taken by automotive manufacturers, such as the introduction of seat belts, air-bags and ABS (anti-lock braking) in the vehicles, also by government legislation making such devices compulsory. But with the advent of electronics and internet connectivity, we have seen a quantum leap in the services now, available to make the vehicle safe as well as comfortable for the driver.

LEVEL 2 DRIVER MONITORING PRINCIPLES
Level 2 features provide a benefit to the driver by assisting with the driving task and reducing
the potential for human error that could result in a crash. However, these systems are not
designed to operate independent of the human driver – the driver is ultimately responsible for
the driving task. For purposes of this document, Level 2 refers to those automated driving assist
features where both lane centering and Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) are simultaneously
engaged.
Confusion among some consumers regarding their role as a driver of some vehicles equipped
with a Level 2 system has resulted in driver complacency, misuse or abuse of Level 2 systems
that has, in some cases, resulted in a crash. To help address this concern, the automotive
industry has developed vehicle driver monitoring systems that use sensor-based technologies
to determine or infer when a driver is not paying sufficient attention to the driving environment.
Automakers may choose, based on the specific attributes of a vehicle’s Level 2 system, to use
sensing methods that rely on torque or capacitive sensors or to use camera-based methods.1
There is extensive, ongoing research in the area of driver monitoring. While this important work
continues, the Alliance for Automotive Innovation puts forward the following principles to help
address important safety aspects for driver monitoring systems for vehicles with Level 2
systems.

The pandemic car buying rebound is real as sales rocket 110%

April 2021 sales are expected to catapult upward by 110% year-over-year, compared to April 2020 when millions of Americans were under stay-at-home orders and numerous businesses closed their doors. In short, as we wave goodbye to this month, the retail sales figure will go down as the highest ever recorded for the month of April. However, to underscore the excellent sales month, adjusted for the number of selling days, sales are still up 26% compared to April 2019, well before the pandemic.

The Mustang Mach-E GT opened for customer orders today and I couldn’t be more excited!

This is a vehicle that pushes what an electric vehicle can achieve. 0-60 in 3.5 seconds. Check. 480 peak horsepower. Check. MagneRide® suspension. Check. And it is available in my favorite iconic Mustang Cyber Orange Metallic color.
I am so proud of the team that worked on this amazing vehicle. Go order one now (don't moan at me later when they sell out this year)! @fordmotorcompany #MustangMach-E

Lets hope the tills start ringing...

Lets hope its ours? Probably ;)

Veoneer Q1/21 results published today show Jeep Grand Cherokee entered production in first quarter featuring #DMS. That's GM, Ford and FCA now all in production with DMS. By that measure, it is the US that is the DMS world leader.

NEW YORK: Toyota says it will invest US$803 million and add 1,400 new jobs at its Indiana auto manufacturing plant so it can produce two new SUVs there, one of which will be the first Lexus made at the plant.

The Japanese automaker says both new vehicles - which it calls “electrified” but would not say whether they will be pure electric or hybrid - will feature a “semi-automated driving system” that allows for hands-free driving in some situations.

Seeing2020

I can see July-Dec 1st half of next Financial Year going a bit crazy.

As Covid eases Airlines will be ramping up training and hopefully the Aviation division will be out there doing there thing.

Auto seems to be ramping up already, so presumably dealing with all the work from existing clients, new RFQs from November & extensions on existing OEMs.

Finally be nice to see Fleet ramping up but with contracts in place for existing clients, even smaller new sales ramp up the income.

2030

Replace could with will and its a true statement ;)

Dont think i seen this posted? If it was then dont need to read it lol

While such a great result over such a short period is more based on luck than anything else, it does show how quickly small-cap shares can move upwards (although the reverse is also true). With this in mind, here are three more I’ve got my eye on.

Seeing Machines
First on my list is Australia’s Seeing Machines (LSE: SEE). This AIM-listed company supplies systems that monitor drivers’ behaviour, thus reducing traffic accidents.

Yesterday, Seeing announced that it had been appointed by another Tier 1 supplier to deliver its FOVIO tech to an additional North America-based OEM. Although only worth A$7m, this is another vote of confidence for the company.

I’ve held SEE for many years now. While this hasn’t always been a comfortable ride, highlighting the risk involved, I haven’t sold and am now firmly in profit. The shares are up over 500% since markets around the world crashed.

However, given recent progress, I’d still buy at this level.
