SAMSUNG has created a '****pit of the future' for semi-driverless cars – and it looks seriously cool.

The driver and passengers will enjoy 5G internet, a giant TV, touchscreens, de-stressing tech and a tiredness-monitoring system.

Usa usually catches up UK so 10c is about 7.4p

Sure by end week will be a nice sight.

OmniVision, Ambarella and Smart Eye Partner on Automotive Industry's First Combined Driver Monitoring and Videoconferencing Camera Solution | Smart Eye.

Have they stopped working with them now?

Obviously to keep the PR going during CES.

Andy Hanvey, Director of Automotive Marketing at OmniVision commented: "We have been collaborating with Seeing Machines for over half a decade, because of their leading algorithm performance and leading position in the DMS market. This agreement enables us to better leverage Seeing Machines' Occula® NPU, in combination with OmniVision's extensive imaging technologies—including global shutters, Nyxel® near-infrared technology and CameraCubeChip wafer-level camera modules—to provide optimal performance for driver and occupant monitoring."

Wonder what an Apple RNS would do to our SP?

Hyundai’s value surged by $9bn (£6.6bn) on Friday after reports that it could join with Apple in developing a driverless electric vehicle – despite confusion as it backtracked on a statement acknowledging “early discussion” with the iPhone manufacturer.

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2021/jan/08/hyundai-value-apple-electric-car-deal

Investors sent the South Korean carmaker’s share price on the Seoul exchange up almost 20%, as local media reported a possible tie-up on electric cars and batteries with Apple, which has been developing its own vehicle technology.

Reports on South Korea’s Economic Daily claimed the two firms were in talks.

The next 3 Weeks could be really good for us with so much going on.

Thats January possibly at yearly highs then we have the vehicles starting to arrive so Iam expecting a very good 6 months to the end of June.

Once July onwards comes Iam sure the heat will start to turn up with more vehicles hitting the roads, more License deals signed & more OEMS making decisions, more partners signing up their customers.

Thinking ahead I wonder If Lewbo picked his yacht colour yet? or started interviewing the crew?

Bunce seems positive. An extra 3100 connections than his model makes a big difference.

Hardware A$ 6,200,000
Yearly Monitoring A$ 2,418,000

Less discounts & commissions as always but a tidy sum never the less. Any upside to his new figures would be most welcome :)

CNET's daily live coverage of CES runs Jan. 11-14 and will be available at cnet.com/ces and on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Renowned for being the most influential tech event in the world, CES will make history in 2021 as the tech industry's first-ever all-digital show. Providing a platform for the world's breakthrough technologies and global innovators, CES 2021 will feature more than 1,000 exhibitors from around the world and showcase the latest trends and innovation in artificial intelligence, 5G, digital health, smart cities, vehicle technology and much more.

4. The biggest gadget will take center stage
Automakers have been using CES as a platform to talk about what they call the "digitization and electrification" of the car for over a decade now. The problem is that it's been mostly talk from the world's biggest automakers, who make beautiful prototypes but have dragged their feet in making real progress. Momentum is gathering around 2021 being a breakout year for EVs, however. Automakers are converting some of the industry's most iconic brands to EV, including the Mustang, Ford F-150 and Hummer. Tesla just reached its long-predicted half a million vehicles sold in 2020, a number long mocked and doubted by the auto industry. On Tuesday, Jan. 12, GM CEO Mary Barra will give the opening keynote address of CES and Chevy has already promised that new EV announcements are coming. Oh, and speaking of large gadgets, John Deere's AI and robotics-powered tractor is one of this year's CES Innovation Award winners.

Safety technology

Found a few talking about it now :)

The new Grand Cherokee features an arsenal of safety equipment, designed to keep the car wheels-down both on and off the road. On-road technology starts with a level 2 autonomous driving system, which will allow for hands-free driving on certain stretches of motorway. Jeep has also added a night-vision camera for the SUV’s top-spec models which uses infrared sensors to search for pedestrians and animals at a distance of up to 200m.

The popular SUV will continue to offer a two-row model, which is set to enter production by the end of the year along with a plug-in-hybrid 4xe. Hands-free driving capability is coming in the second model year, too, Jeep says. Meanwhile, the 2021 Grand Cherokee L shown here will go on sale this spring, likely starting just under $40,000.

Terrible for bus companies atm but theres hope for future.

It added that it hoped to restart services in March.

Lets hope we see some of this...

STOCKHOLM -- Veoneer expects that it returned to organic sales growth in the fourth quarter of 2020 and sees growth accelerating in 2021, the company said in a statement on Thursday.

The Swedish maker of vision systems, radar and software for advanced driver-assistance systems also said it estimated the current value of its order book for 2020 at approximately $14 billion.

The company said its new order intake for 2020 corresponded to an average annual value of around $530 million, of which 65 percent is from active safety products.

Veoneer said it estimated its share of active safety orders for 2020 to be about 15 percent, above its current market share by sales.

Veoneer will present its earnings report for the fourth quarter on Feb. 3.

Hands-Free Driving To Come
In terms of safety tech, the 2021 Grand Cherokee L has active driving assist systems, drowsy driver detection, parking assist, a digital rearview mirror, traffic sign recognition, a 10-inch head-up display, and more. Some, including adaptive cruise control, blind spot detection, lane departure warning, collision warning, and rear cross path detection, are standard.

A Level 2 automated driver assist system—think GM's Super Cruise that allows hands-free highway driving—will be added in the second model year. Hands-Free Active Driving Assist will be available in late 2021 on the 2022 Grand Cherokee L.

More EVs coming
Beyond that announcement, Majoros said Chevrolet will be accelerating its electric vehicle offerings.

"There's a lot of news happening at (Consumer Electronics Show) next week and there’ll be a lot of news with Chevrolet being a part of it," Majoros said.

Sales of the electric Chevrolet Bolt jumped 26.4% to 20,754 for 2020 compared with 2019 and the brand has "very aggressive goals in 2021 with both the Bolt and the Bolt EUV," Majoros said. The 2022 Bolt EUV compact SUV will be on the same second-generation Battery Electric Vehicle architecture as the Bolt.

An updated Bolt and the EUV, which will get GM's hands-free Super Cruise technology, will launch this summer.

Beyond that, Chevrolet will get four vehicles off GM's new Ultium battery system. That's GM's large-format battery with pouch-style cells that can be stacked vertically or horizontally inside the pack. It optimizes battery energy storage and layout for each vehicle's design.

Did you Honda on your list of 21? If not add it on....

Both Honda/Acura vehicles were announced last April, as part of a partnership between Honda and GM that will allow both companies to more rapidly reach economies of scale for EVs and to share in the co-development of both internal-combustion and electric platforms—including a version of GM’s Super Cruise driver-assistance technology for Honda.

The collaboration between Honda and GM is by no means the first for the two companies. They have previously allied in hydrogen fuel-cell development, jointly invested in Cruise and its autonomous-vehicle technology, and worked together on battery cell tech.

We’re hopeful that consistency will help differentiate the fully autonomous technology Waymo is developing from driver-assist technologies (sometimes erroneously referred to as “self-driving” technologies) that require oversight from licensed human drivers for safe operation,” Waymo says. Currently, though there are vehicles on sale in the US with Level 2 advanced driver assistance (ADAS) technologies that can help with lane-centering, maintaining pace with traffic, and even allow the human driver to take their hands off the steering wheel, there’s no commercially-available Level 4 or Level 5 vehicle which can actually operate itself with no human oversight.

Nice to see volume up & late trade showing for 3 million from this morning. Looks like a buy @ £224,000
