For enhanced all-around situational awareness while parking, an available Surround View Monitor offers a 360-degree overhead view of the vehicle and its surroundings. The system combines images from four vehicle cameras to create a single image with a bird's-eye view of the area around the entire vehicle.

The DriverFocus® Distraction Mitigation System is standard on Touring trim. The feature utilizes a camera angled at the driver's face and facial recognition software to monitor fatigue or lack of attention.

In addition to the functions of the current Honda SENSING 360, Honda SENSING 360+ will newly adopt a driver monitoring camera and high-definition maps to improve functions to monitor the driver’s condition and to control the vehicle, respectively, to further reduce driver burden. By reducing health-related or human error-triggered collisions with such new technologies, Honda will strive to offer vehicles which enable everyone to enjoy the freedom of mobility with complete peace of mind and encourage people to want to go out more actively and go farther in their vehicles.

Honda is planning to begin applying the new Honda SENSING 360+ to Accord which will go on sale in China in 2024 before expanding the application on a global basis.

General Motors is developing a wealth of new autonomous vehicle technology, including both fully autonomous systems and semi-autonomous systems. Now, it appears as though GM Authority spy photographers have captured General Motors in the act with this unique Chevy Equinox prototype vehicle. GM is expected to release the next evolution of its semi-autonomous driver assist system, known as GM Ultra Cruise, in the near future.

Although it isn’t totally clear what GM is testing here, it seems pretty obvious that it’s some sort of autonomous vehicle technology. One possibility is that General Motors is testing the up-and-coming GM Ultra Cruise system. Offered as the next evolution of the GM Super Cruise system currently offered by several GM production vehicles, Ultra Cruise will offer hands-free driving in up to 95 percent of driving scenarios on 2 million roads in the U.S. and Canada, covering some 3.4 million miles. The GM Ultra Cruise system will also incorporate more sensors than the current Super Cruise system, including visual cameras, radar systems, and LiDAR.

Elon should of gone to Specsavers...

Automakers are racing to automate driving for reasons that are unclear yet. However, the journey to real autonomous cars is nowhere near the finish line. Cruise proved robotaxis are still in their infancy, and established auto brands like Mercedes-Benz showed that you can't really take advantage of great self-driving systems unless a bunch of very specific conditions are met. But developing these very advanced suites could be even more rudimentary than we were led to believe.

But with these assistance systems, driving on the highway becomes just a little more bearable. Ford and General Motors, for example, have a hands-off, eyes-on type of thing going on for them. Tesla is doing its own stuff with the Full Self-Driving suite, while the Germans are trying to make SAE Level 3 ADAS a thing.

However, some are better at this game than others. Even though Tesla is publicly perceived as the one auto brand that puts almost all its weight behind driving automation, it's not doing very well in this department. The brand's CEO publicly demoed the out-of-beta FSD V12, and the Model S tried to run a red light during the livestream.

Thus, it still needs some refining and brings into question the discussion revolving around the supporting hardware implementation. Hardware 3 and Hardware 4 might not be enough for cars to obtain real self-driving capabilities, and waiting for Hardware 5 might allow competitors to take the spotlight.

But Tesla might have even more pressing matters to deal with first. A new test published by the Dawn Project shows that the now Texas-based EV maker can't even get the driver monitoring system to work correctly. It failed or was slow to detect what the person behind the wheel was doing in all nine comparison stages. Meanwhile, Ford's and GM's systems worked as expected even when the driver wore sunglasses or an eye mask.

But that's not something Tesla cannot fix. The brand is well-known for delivering all sorts of over-the-air updates.

Another model with SEE in.

The flexible plant builds combustion, plug in hybrid and fully electric models on the same production line. Its first EV was the i3.

Since 2018, BMW has invested EUR700m at the Saxony site to increase capacity and enable production of the Countryman which will be offered with full electric drive.

The flexible production system is now being used for multiple brands for the first time.

Plant director Petra Peterhaensel told attendees at a launch event: “As the plant develops and production of the Countryman gets under way, our headcount will increase by over 1,000 by the end of 2024.”

Does wonders for their SP today. No financials as always with them though

Come on SEE show us the money aswell.........

A good podcast. From 8:50 start talking about the interesting stuff. Then 35min talk about impaired driving. Seems like they have that one sorted and been showing it aswell.

The futures bright, The futures Magna…

A system-level approach becomes even more important in ensuring vehicle safety and preventing accidents. Take the example of driver state.

“… the ideal way to monitor driver state is with a camera. But we must control the lighting in the environment so that we don’t get shadows. We can tell where the drivers are looking if they’re starting to fall asleep, because there are some patterns that might be indicative of driver state,” said Van Dan Elzen. More important actions include: “to tie this together with exterior sensing. We see a pedestrian stepping out into traffic ahead of us, while the driver’s looking at their phone.” That should trigger the vehicle to behave a lot more differently “from what we normally act with a Forward Collision Warning,” he explained.

The boss of a trucking company involved in the tragic roadside deaths of four Victorian police officers knew about workplace safety breaches, but thought they had been resolved, a court has heard.

Connect Logistics and Corey Matthews pleaded guilty earlier this year to charges brought by the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator, relating to failures to properly monitor driver fatigue and drug and alcohol use.

Mohinder Singh was high on methamphetamine and lacking sleep when his semi-trailer ploughed into officers who'd stopped a speeding Porsche driven by Richard Pusey on Melbourne's Eastern Freeway in April 2020.

Singh is serving more than 18 years behind bars for his role in the crash.

On Friday in Sydney's Downing Centre Local Court, Matthews was personally fined $22,500 while the now defunct Connect Logistics was ordered to pay a total of $2,310,000.

Both penalties are less than half of what could have been imposed by the court.

As head of the Sydney-based company, Matthews admitted having failed to exercise due diligence in ensuring the compliance of his drivers.

If you drive a company car for Mercedes, it may be time to trade in your E-Class for a new EQE. Mercedes-Benz will require all eligible employees driving company cars in Germany to switch to purely electric vehicles.

Mercedes employee company cars are going electric only

With Mercedes-Benz aiming to be an all-electric automaker by 2030 (where market conditions allow), the automaker is taking steps internally to advance its goal.

Mercedes will require all eligible employees in Germany to drive electric company cars, according to Automobilwoche. This would mean 5,000 vehicles, mostly available as diesel, gas, and PHEVs, will need to transition to EVs.

The move comes as more employees are choosing all-electric options anyway. Fully electric cars in the company’s fleet more than quadrupled from last year after doubling from 2021 to 2022.

Nearly one in three company cars are purely electric currently, while around 40% are plug-in hybrids.

Mercedes is shifting from an “electric-first” to an “electric-only” strategy. The automaker already offers an EV for every segment, but from 2025, customers will be able to choose from an all-electric option for every Mercedes model.

Great partner as always winning contracts.

News from the #DubaiAirShow 📢

Earlier today, we joined our friends at flydubai to announce agreements for four state-of-the-art B737 MAX full-flight simulators. We are happy to be building on our longstanding relationship with flydubai and supporting their growth. CAE has been flydubai’s training partner since they began operations, and we look forward to providing our expertise and solutions as they expand their fleet and develop a new training centre in the region.

Advanced Drive enables Level 2 semi-autonomous, hands-free driving on selected highways like GM's Super Cruise and Ford's BlueCruise. In addition, Advanced Drive can keep the vehicle within the lane, follow other cars, change lanes, or perform overtaking maneuvers. Advanced Park uses circumferential cameras and 360-degree ultrasonic sensors to park the vehicle with zero driver intervention, including parallel parking duties.

The automotive industry is still a revolution away from unlocking Level 4 or Level 5 full self-driving automation. Rising inflation and global conflicts have forced experts to delay the commercialization of self-driving cars by 2035, but good news is on the horizon. Level 3 autonomous cars will most likely arrive in showrooms in mid-2025, and Level 4 autonomous vehicles will follow soon after. Until then, advanced driving assistance systems are the next best thing.

Seize

The main 2 players in DMS both SP low. The next Year or so they will both do ok iam sure.

Every dog has its day, our turn soon but they not on AIM, sure that helps them. Theres some on here with a bit of SEYE thrown in iam sure as a 2 way hedge your bets.

Both have the potential to 4x in the next Year - 18 months my monies on as legislation kicks in.

Yes MrBB

With a joint product, who knows what it will be in or when but Iam sure it will pop up somewhere.

They wont give $millions away to SEE for nothing iam sure ;)
