It’s another building block & proof of concept in a division that no broker has any value for.

Also another tick in the box for feeding it up for an eventual buyout.

Roll on the 1st juicy contract in aviation to follow. What was Paul quoting in the Italian job? So many planes in one rfq?

I told you to only blow the bloody doors off….

Open your eyes. It means its total mainstream & shows every OEM will change to a camera based Dms system not a steering wheel torque system. A coffee cup or any other system out there.

As for a competitor Tesla are as much a competitor in DMS as they are to a beer supplier.

I think Magna already supply them with other stuff so a mirror might appear in future Iam sure ; )

His reversal on DMS has to be good for us.

Elon Musk Reportedly Rejected Driver-Monitoring for Tesla Autopilot—But Why?

So what was Elon thinking in 2015 when he reportedly rejected a driver-monitoring system (DMS)? And what was he thinking when he wrote that tweet?

I've long been a fan of Tesla's innovations, but lost in the debate over Tesla Autopilot safety has been any real discussion over what it really is, and how a DMS would solve its shortcomings. Tesla Autopilot isn't autonomous, semi-autonomous, self-driving, partly self-driving or driverless. It's not a technology itself as much as a brand name for a suite of semi-automated features including radar-based cruise control (which Tesla calls TACC) and a lane-keeping assistance system that Tesla calls Autosteer. These are convenience features, and there is no evidence yet that they improve safety.

(The most popular safety figure attributed to Tesla, its 40% reduction in crashes, is almost certainly attributable to automatic emergency braking, common on most luxury cars and active on all Teslas even in the absence of Autopilot.)

Since its October 2015 launch, every generation of Autopilot has allowed limited hands-off operation. It can be engaged almost anywhere but won't stay engaged unless conditions are good, if not excellent. Neither its radar nor camera(s) are infallible, nor is the software interpreting what they see. Autopilot may disengage anywhere, at any time, which means the driver, who remains legally responsible at all times, should keep his eyes on the road and his hands on or near the wheel.

If its in house I hope those patent Lawyers are all over it as i cant see how it couldn't infringe something?

Could be us? Could be one of the others?

I do wonder if a license deal pops up in the future with someone to avoid a Patent issue though.

Wonder what or who they using for it?

Tesla Model 3 and Model Y launched with a cabin camera, but in the case of the Model S and Model X, a camera was added only with the 2021 refresh. Still, even for the newer models, Tesla started using the camera for driving monitoring in May 2021. Until then, the Autopilot system would require drivers to apply pressure on the steering wheel for the system to keep working. Some creative people learned that attaching a soda can or something to the steering wheel would trick the system into thinking the driver is in control.

It was one of the reasons why Tesla Autopilot consistently ranked behind others in terms of safety, despite superior capabilities. Even after Tesla turned to the cabin camera for driving monitoring, it made it easy to fool the system. Some reported that covering the camera or using polarized glasses would force the system to fall back to the old steering wheel check, rendering it useless. In time, Tesla has improved the driver monitoring system to make it harder for people to trick the car. Still, it never offered drowsiness detection or recommendations to drivers based on their behavior.

This is set to change, according to white-hat hacker Green (@greentheonly), who regularly analyzes Tesla software for changes. An upcoming OTA update will significantly boost the camera-based driver monitoring system in Tesla vehicles. Based on his findings, the camera will analyze how many yawns the driver had recently, how often they blinked, and for how long to calculate drowsiness. The system will also analyze lane centering, as well as lane keep assist warnings and corrections to figure out if the driver is fit to drive.

This will work regardless of whether the car is on Autopilot or the driver is in full control. It is unclear what happens when the driver shows signs of drowsiness. Green presumes the sound warnings would go off more often and be more annoying. Hopefully, the active driver assist systems will also become more cautious. Other carmakers offer the option to stop the vehicle when the driver becomes incapacitated (falls asleep or has a medical problem). This would turn the car into an obstacle on the road and increase the risk of rear-ending, so it's not entirely safe either.

Let’s hope it gets bluecruise?

Ford Australia says online reservations for the Mustang Mach-E’s electric car will open later this week, with the pricing also to be revealed at the time.

Reservations for the Mustang Mach-E will open on Wednesday afternoon with three variants on offer – Select, Premium and GT. Reservations will require a $1,000 deposit. According to Ford, the first Australian allocations of the Mustang will begin production imminently.

Ford is already selling the Mach-E across the ditch in New Zealand with deliveries by June this year. Pricing on its variants there ranges from $NZ79,990 for the single-motor model, all the way up to $NZ124,990 for the GT AWD model.

However, it appears Tesla is going to start tracking more driver behaviors, according to hacker Greentheonly.

Tesla is upgrading the driver-monitoring system by tracking how many times the driver has yawned during a trip, how many times they blinked and for how long, and driver posture, all in an effort to calculate how drowsy they might be.

The changes are also making their way to non-AP-using drivers, intending to keep an eye on those who are driving the car under their complete control.

The future of the automotive industry is in electric vehicles. That means the best auto stocks must have successful EV programs, and fast.

The electric-vehicle (EV) future is coming faster than you might think. At the end of 2021, EVs in the U.S. accounted for 5% of new car sales.

Why is that important, you ask? Because if the U.S. is similar to the previous 18 markets that crossed that threshold, EV sales could spike to 25% of new car sales by the end of 2025.

That rapid rise in sales makes it even more important for long-term investors to fully understand how each Detroit automaker is evolving to tackle the current boom in EV sales. You might be surprised just how far General Motors (GM -2.17%) and Ford (F -1.69%) are going to secure a highly profitable future.

BMW has laid out its EV growth forecast until 2030, which was revealed at the BMW AG annual general meeting where chairman and CEO Oliver Zipse delivered his statement.

Battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) are expected to account for 15% of the BMW Group’s global vehicle deliveries, and with over 600,000 BEVs already on the roads worldwide, the total is expected to grow to over one in five of all vehicles, or more than 20% by 2024.

The proportion of EVs will increase to one in four (25%) by 2025, and then to one in three (over 33%) in 2026. By 2030, BMW expects more than half of all vehicles it sells worldwide to be fully electric vehicles.

In April, new passenger car registrations in the United Kingdom increased by almost 12 percent year-over-year to 132,990, which means the ninth successive month of growth. After four months of 2023, the total number of new registrations amounted to 627,250 (up 16.9 percent).

Meanwhile, plug-in electric car sales accelerated, reaching the highest year-over-year rate of growth in 15 months.

The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) reports that 29,117 new plug-in cars were registered last month (50.5 percent more than a year ago). This result represents about 21.9 percent of the total volume (it was 16.2 percent a year ago).

Looking forward to the next 2 TPIs as more & more models adding every month it seems.

General Motors will officially return to the European auto market in autumn 2023, marking the end of a five-year absence.

The return, confirmed by GM Europe President and Managing Director Jaclyn McQuaid, will be underpinned exclusively by battery-electric models, with Scandinavian countries and Switzerland as the first markets.

McQuaid, who was promoted to head GM Europe in November 2022 after a stint as executive chief engineer for fullsize trucks in the U.S., hasn’t provided specific details about the electric vehicles intended to be sold in Europe. However, GM sources suggest it is gearing up to offer the Cadillac Lyriq in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden – European countries with among the highest uptake of BEVs – as well as Switzerland.

Other BEVs being readied for European sale by GM include the Chevrolet Equinox EV, Chevrolet Blazer EV (pictured, below) and Cadillac Celestiq.

BMW is now weeks away from the world premiere of an all-electric version of its long-running 5 series and has shared some camouflaged images of the new i5 eDrive40 completing summer testing. BMW also shared some design and performance specs i5 customers can expect to see in the new EV.

As a combustion model, the 5 series has been a staple in BMW’s lineup since 1972 and remains the German automaker’s second best-selling vehicle behind the 3 series. We saw BMW kick off its all-electric models with the i3, and the automaker has used that now-defunct EV as a springboard into larger, better-performing models, like the i4 and upcoming i7 sedan.

BMW i5 to launch this October with new ADAS

Lastly, BMW states that it has bolstered its ADAS technology on the i5 using high-resolution cameras, high-precision radar sensors, and refined software. The result is an optional Driving Assistance Professional Package that includes Highway Assistant, which allows for hands-free driving at speeds up to 85 mph and now includes Active Lane Change with driver monitoring.

The system will suggest the lane change, and the driver can activate the movement by peering at the side mirror. The driver can also flip their turn signal to initiate the lane change.
