In line with Seeing Machines' usual practice of conducting annual reviews of performance and remuneration, the awards made pursuant to the STI scheme are based on performance for the 2019 financial year.

Cant argue with that, who done the review? A blind man?

Well done chaps youve bombed the SP 75%, please Que up for a pat on the back?

I am kept sane by the fact that Smart Eye are not announcing wins. I will see what happens by next Weds afternoon. A lot can happen in a week still.
You can imagine the car companies asking for more and more bolt ons as all chasing in cabin sensing, must be an engineers nightmare.
Cream usually rises to the top I keep reminding myself.

The Japanese components maker Denso 6902.T, Toyota's biggest supplier, believes it will take years for the technology for fully self-driving cars to hit the roads. For now it is working towards developing cars that can accelerate and brake on their own with driver monitoring.

"The most difficult aspect of developing these driving systems is to anticipate unexpected movements in the vehicle's surroundings," said Hajime Kumabe, the head of Denso's engineering R&D centre in Tokyo.

"Right from the get-go, we figured it's going to be a time-consuming endeavor," he said. "There's no particular need to rethink the time frame for our AI self-drive technology investment and development."

Toyota next year will release its first so-called "Level 2" autonomous car, capable of driving itself on the highway, "from entrance to exit, with traffic merging capability," Tomoyama said.

3), which detects vehicle position and controls vehicle stability to prevent side-slips or rollovers, as well as the Attention Assist safety system that reads the driver’s facial expression to detect distraction or fatigue, and the Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS).

Part 2
Expectations for Q4

We enter the fourth quarter with the highest possible pace in all parts of the business. We aim to defend our market-leading position by continuing to win design wins with existing and new customers. For this we are perfectly positioned. It is with both pride and pioneering spirit that we as a company develop the market for the interface between humans and AI, for the research and automotive industry, today and in the future

New Busines Area AIS

But the company is more than just Automotive Solutions, even though that business area rightly gets most of the limelight right now. On July 1st, a new business area called AIS was formally inaugurated. AIS stands for Applied Aritificial Intelligence Systems. The word Systems in the name signals that the new business area will offer not only software, but also hardware, which means that Smart Eye soon can offer a complete system to the automotive industry. This does not mean that Smart Eye abandons its winning concept of ??selling software through global Tier-1 suppliers who in turn sell complete systems to major car OEM’s. Through this development of our offer as an aftermarket system with a focus on China. We’re going to be able to meet the growing market demand in China where regulatory initiatives in the near future are expected to require driver monitoring for certain types of transport of dangerous goods and long-distance buses. By connecting our software to a specific hardware, we’re ensuring that our software is not copied, which is an important factor in protecting our competitiveness and integrity.

AIS will cover the cases where the volumes are not as large as for Automotive Solutions but still much larger than the research customers of Research Instruments. Typical customers are operators of car and truck fleets, bus companies as well as manufacturers of commercial vehicles and special vehicles with small to medium volumes. The product is being developed and tested to the full requirements and standards of the automotive industry, while great effort is put into gaining full functionality including the latest AI technology at a competitive price. In the second half of next year, the product will be launched to a wider audience, but already during the winter, a number of pilot tests with specially selected customers are planned. These tests will provide important information and data for the further development of algorithms and the tuning of customer functions. Part of the capital of 200 million SEK raised before the summer was aimed towards the AIS investment.

Eye tracking system for research purposes

Research Instruments has had a somewhat less intense quarter than the rest of the company, where the trend of delays on large contracts has unfortunately continued. However, we have not lost contracts to competitors or any business opportunities, it’s a shift in purchases beyond the company's control where sales are expected to be realized in the coming quarters.

The company has started to develop the product range with the aim of broadening the offer. We will move our position forward regarding smaller eye tracking systems with lower price tags and higher volumes. In addition to increasing the total sales volume, it can also help to reduce the fluctuations in the business area in the future by not having as much relativ impact on a few large orders.

I presume you mean another 200 being installed? seems odd not to add it to the rns to beef it up?

I hope we hear feom Mr Pitzel 1st, when he wants to do the other 1600 Trucks in the fleet

The National Transportation Safety Board’s newest list of recommended but unaddressed safety improvements includes 13 proposals that would directly affect the motorcoach industry.
They include safety measures dealing with driver distractions, collision-avoidance systems, fatigue-related accidents, obstructive sleep apnea and drug and alcohol impairment.

NTSB’s 2019-2020 Most Wanted List of Transportation Safety Improvements includes 267 recommendations covering all forms of transportation. Some result from accident investigations dating back a decade.

Only need 4% of the heavy fleet truck business in USA @ $30 month to turn over nearly $52 million PA. Lets hope the PR gained from it over there is backed up by an aggressive distributor to get USA fleet numbers steaming ahead.

Cenkos seem confident.
Lets hope the 120 is the trial as they have 1700 trucks, split between owned & driver owned.

Anyone know who the distributor is? To me that’s the most important bit. Hope we find out. It’s a door opener in N America, probably the biggest truck market in the world, where we need to get into.
Let’s hope start of something big.

On here and HL I got 6 trades 1.7 million. Where you get 26 from? Could be sells or buys from earlier in the day? Sometimes things pop up late for some odd reason

An annual report from the Traffic Injury Research Foundation (TIRF), which looks at trends, attitudes and practices related to distracted driving shows that concerns have risen dramatically from 33.4 percent in 2004 to 75.9 percent in 2018.

In even better news, NHTSA reported that the safer-driving bandwagon has picked up even more momentum in 2019, with the estimated number of fatalities in the first half of the year declining by 3.4 percent from the same period of 2018. That translated to an estimated first-half fatality rate of 1.06, the agency said, representing the lowest first-half level since 2015. The estimates for the second quarter of 2019 represent the seventh consecutive year-over-year-quarterly decline in fatalities, starting in the last quarter of 2017, NHTSA said.
