Sounds like Super cruise.......

indicator lights are located on the steering wheel, the top of the navigation system and glovebox to inform the driver of the driver assistance system’s operating status. The steering wheel is illuminated when the Hands-off Function is activated, while blue lights come on when Traffic Jam Pilot is activated. When the system requests a handover back to the driver, all indicator lights blink in orange.

A greater emphasis on driver assistance systems and crash prevention technologies by Euro NCAP includes the Safety Assist Assessment, which looks at areas including driver fatigue and distraction in relation to Driver Status Monitoring systems. New tests have been introduced to test AEB functionality in reversing scenarios and turning at a crossing.

The CUPRA Formentor is the first vehicle from the brand to face Euro NCAP safety tests. The organisation re-evaluates it testing practices every two years, and last year’s new regulations have made them the strictest and most thorough to date.

It's a small win for team Ford with the new Mustang Mach-E electric SUV, according to the latest research from Morgan Stanley. The firm said in its latest Autos & Shared Mobility research report for February, seen by Roadshow, that Ford's electric SUV did a damn good job at siphoning sales away from Tesla.

Specifically, Tesla saw its share of the electric vehicle market decline from 81% in February 2020 to 69% in February 2021. Before I go any further, let me underscore that owning 69% of the market is still tremendous for Tesla. What's most striking about the drop is Morgan Stanley's finding that the Mustang Mach-E "accounted for nearly 100% of the loss." In other words, no other brand or EV did a better job than Ford's electric SUV at turning EV buyers away from Tesla and to an alternative car.

While this is certainly positive news for Ford and the Mustang Mach-E, we'll have to see if this sort of appeal keeps up. The SUV is brand new, after all, and it's easy to see high interest lead to big numbers at first. The fact that it's done such a bang-on job at converting Tesla customers, however, is intriguing. That's not to say Tesla had a bad February. Not at all. Morgan Stanley estimated Tesla sales last month at 21,550 vehicles compared to 9,527 for every other brand selling an EV. Tesla managed to outsell the combined competition by 2.3x. Undecided buyers may have liked the Mustang Mach-E, but there are still far more buyers trending in Teslas direction overall.

TOKYO -- Honda Motor will on Friday launch a new car equipped with the world's first certified level 3 autonomous driving technology, paving the way for the automobile industry to gear up efforts to commercialize such automation for passenger vehicles.

Industry experts are cautiously watching to see if the Legend, a luxury sedan that operates without driver supervision under certain conditions but requires the driver to assume control of the vehicle within seconds when alerted, can capture enough demand to suggest a way forward for other manufacturers.

Honda unveiled the Legend on Thursday at an online press event.

"Most accidents involve human error, and driving will be more exciting if we can mitigate the driver's fatigue and stress," Yoichi Sugimoto, who oversees driver assistance technology at Honda R&D, told reporters.

"We aim to reduce the driving burden. ... We are entering a new stage of Honda Sensing," he added, referring to Honda's driving assistance technology.

While SEE doesnt announce wins SEYE are talking contracts that look like cancelled more than postponed.

Cast your mind back to 1985 when Apple was $0.05c SP & Amstrad seemed like flying. I know who most would of been happy being on, looking back.

Sure both Companies do very well but the hare & the tortoise race has started.

By January 2022 will get a feel of how many cars, planes, trains, buses & trucks have SEE or SEYE in them. Buy the end of 2022 most OEMs will be sorted and hopefully value will start to show in a big way.

Morg

I love this lol

1. Interesting report by
@RedeyeMannen
today. Lots could be said but as there's so much I'll stick to 1. SEE has said 30 models on the road in 2 years, having 84 DWs does not mean on the road as can be seen, working as per requirements. So, use another metric.

S7

Iam sure with a bit of new auto news & some Aviation news along with the markets realising Viktors note isnt what it seems & then add in a couple of reveals on new models hitting the tarmac that SEE claims then thats a real possibility ;)

Thanks for pointing in out.

Modern trucks are being fitted with advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and an array of other technologies that aim to prevent a truck from crashing. Vehicles might technically be safer than ever, but calls for driver monitoring systems (DMS) remain.

Even with ADAS in place, heavy trucks are inherently difficult to stop in the event of an emergency and can cause havoc following even minor loss of stability or traction. A lapse in concentration from the driver can have similar results. DMS technology is seen as a way to ensure that drivers do not become over-reliant on assistance features and remain alert and attentive behind the wheel.

Happy to share that today Polestar 2 received top results and 5 stars in the Euro NCAP safety rating. Among other things, Polestar 2 achieved best-in-class for lane support and for AEB in car-to-car scenarios. Veoneer is a proud active safety supplier of monovision, forward-looking radar, ADAS control unit and software.

Its all about vehicles on the road. While they talk about the likes of JLR i dont see cars with it in yet or looking likely to be in still from my searches. Is that another paused or postponed contract i wonder?

They will win their fair share of work iam sure, look like a good Company for China especially.

As time moves by Iam sure more like BMW will want the best and gradually drop models to replace with SEE.

I wouldn’t read too much into that. It’s always written in a certain style. A large pinch salt needed usually.

Check back next year and see how many cars on the road. Then check how many fleet installs & aviation contracts are in comparison.

Statement by the Minister of Transport on electronic logging devices for commercial vehicles

OTTAWA, ON, March 2, 2021 /CNW/ - Today, the Minister of Transport, the Honourable Omar Alghabra, issued the following statement:

"Road safety is a priority for the Government of Canada. That is why, in 2019, we took new action to prevent commercial driver fatigue and improve road safety by mandating electronic logging devices.

"These devices track drivers' working hours to ensure all federally regulated motor carriers and their drivers operate safely.

More great reviews....

What's It Like to NOT Drive (on Super Cruise)?

Perhaps the Bolt EUV's greatest unique selling proposition is its Super Cruise feature. Super Cruise comes standard on Launch Edition models ($43,495) and it's optional on Premier models (adding $2,200 to the $38,495 base price). That makes a Bolt EUV with Super Cruise $8,495 less expensive than the cheapest Tesla with Autopilot and $17,775 less than the cheapest Cadillac (CT5) with Super Cruise. The Bolt EUV is the first non-Cadillac model to get this advanced driver-assist feature, and much of my two-hour experience in the Bolt was spent Super Cruising. The Bolt's legacy electrical architecture prevents it from getting the latest version now becoming available on Cadillacs, which supports lane changes, but it is a huge stress reliever on long highway drives. It allows those who are determined to look at their phone to do so safely, providing they hold the phone up high enough and off to one side so the driver-monitoring camera on the steering column can verify their eyes are still pointed toward the road. Oh, and for those unwilling to pop for Super Cruise, basic adaptive cruise control will be available for the first time on both the EV and EUV.

Should You Reserve a 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EUV?

Whether or not you love the look or the name, there's little arguing that a Bolt EUV with a 250-mile range gets you a lot of automotive technology for $33,995. And for anyone who endures a long freeway commute to and from work each day, a Bolt EUV with Premier trim and Super Cruise probably represents the biggest vehicular quality of life increase $40,695 can buy.

Now they stopped Faffing about lets hope they decide on their DMS supplier & Daimler have an influence...

Volvo and Geely drop merger, betting they’ll be faster apart
The manufacturers will preserve their separate corporate structures while cooperating more closely on electrification, software and autonomous-driving technology, according to a joint statement.

The manufacturers will preserve their separate corporate structures while cooperating more closely on electrification, software and autonomous-driving technology, according to a joint statement. While they’ll no longer pursue a combination as announced a year ago, new listings could be on the table.

“This is about maintaining top-line momentum,” Volvo Cars Chief Executive Officer Hakan Samuelsson said in an interview. “A merger isn’t always positive. You risk losing momentum because there’s too much internal focus.”

Geely and Volvo also will move their powertrain activities into a separate company, which will enhance focus on development of electric vehicles, Samuelsson said. Daimler AG joining the business would be positive, he said. The German carmaker counts Geely owner Li Shufu as its biggest shareholder and in November announced plans to jointly develop a gasoline engine that could be electrified later.

Presentations

Fatigue Monitoring and the Driver Safety System

Sherill Stevens, Business Team Leader, Trucks and Productivity at Mildred Lake Mine, Syncrude

The presentation will be about our journey with Fatigue Monitoring and the Driver safety system. I will discuss why and when we chose to implement what we did and how the system works. Our Change Management Strategy was key in its success as was out partnership with Caterpillar and their Subject Matter Experts and I will expand on it. There were challenges with our Heavy Equipment Operators related concern over privacy and I will elaborate on what we as an organization have done to not just address it but protect it. I will share some of the trends that we have seen during the three phased approach. It will finish with commentary on what we have seen since going live and on the positive trends we have seen, not just in fatigue but with our operators since going live and what our next steps are.

The application of new advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) in the mining sector is proving to be a valuable tool in safety innovation across operations in Southern Africa.

The world’s leading diamond producer, De Beers Group, highlights that it has implemented the intervention as a major contributor to the company’s critical control management – one of the areas for advancement identified at its regular safety summits.

De Beers Group head of asset strategy and reliability Meshal Ruplal says the first phase of the ADAS initiative saw the technology being installed on buses and any vehicles that carry five or more people. In a second phase, vehicles with four passengers were fitted with the equipment. The technology comprises a range of functionalities, including cameras to monitor harsh and distracted driving.

“The camera software can also check on the driver’s eyelid movements and other indicators of drowsiness, and can transmit short video clips to a control room for improved monitoring,” says Ruplal. “It can register infringements like changing lanes without indicating, or crossing a solid barrier line.”

Least the issue being addressed at top level.

The White House said on Thursday that administration officials are working to address a shortage of semiconductor chips that has slowed auto production around the world.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki said the Biden administration is “currently identifying potential chokepoints in the supply chain and working alongside key stakeholders in industry and with our trading partners to do more now.”

The issue is one reason Biden plans to sign an executive order in the coming weeks to direct a comprehensive review of supply chain issues for critical goods.
