JC, Smart Eye Pro is their eye tracking camera set up for research. They have sold quite a bit, which allowed them to claim Nasa etc as customers

Probably because the many Tesla users believe that FSD will drive the car from A to B. As has been implied by so many sources. Now that it is "feature complete" it "must be safe or we wouldn't be allowed to use it". Those safety warnings are "just because the laws are out of date". Even if they did pay attention in food faith, they are human passengers without much to do so really are they going to remain engaged

3.7m just sold at 4.20 are we heading for bargain-land again?

#SEE Capital Markets Day
In early November, Seeing Machines held its inaugural Capital Markets Day at the spectacular Armourer's Hall in London City, to highlight company progress. Paul McGlone, Nick DiFiore, Mike Lenné, Patrick Nolan and Timothy Edwards outlined company strategies and anticipated developments ahead of the new year.



The event was packed to the rafters and provided an opportunity for our investors to explore areas of interest in a group or individual setting with the people running the day to day business.

European Council Adopts Regulation for Safety and NTSB Recommends DMS for Self-Driving Cars on Public Roads

As an extension of the EU "Europe on the Move", the European Council recently announced that it has adopted a regulation on the general safety of motor vehicles and the protection of vehicle occupants and vulnerable road users. The latest mandate will promote the inclusion of driver distraction, drowsiness and attention warning systems. This move is a great sign for DMS solutions and Seeing Machines CEO Paul McGlone shared his reaction in a news release.

Further to this, in the US, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has released an initial report following an investigation into a fatal accident involving an Uber self driving vehicle and a pedestrian, which recommends 'adequate monitoring of vehicle operator engagement, if applicable' for all testing autonomous vehicles on public roads. Read the initial NTSB Report here.

Alaska Airlines and #SEE collaborate to enhance pilot training and safety

In October, the airline announced a partnership with Seeing Machines to develop a proof-of-concept for its Crew Training System (CTS) used to promote pilot safety and enhance training. CTS will monitor and evaluate both the performance and decision-making processes of pilots using Alaska Airlines' B737 Full Flight Simulator during complex manoeuvres. You can read more here.

Guardian Gen 2 Manufacturing Costs Reduced

New developments with our manufacturing partner have reduced the cost of the Guardian unit by 21 percent. The reduction is expected to deliver savings of approximately A$8.4 million on its upcoming negotiated volume order which is to be delivered in batches to Seeing Machines and its channel partners over the next calendar year to meet expected global demand. Seeing Machines is currently channelling 70% of Guardian sales through a growing network of distributors.

Thames Schlem,

On part 1 of the conference http://twomaverix.com/?p=20546

"Another of CalmCar’s systems, he said, was the driver monitoring system. This particular system is designed to warn a driver who’s falling asleep or driving distracted. Its features include an eye closure warning, yawn warning and abnormal posture warning."
..
" the audience also had a chance to see how CalmCar’s driver monitoring system worked. In addition to drowsiness, the system monitored “Distraction 1 – including phone calls”, and “Distraction 2 – including smoking.”

Ok they also categorised the outside world, but it looks like CalmCar are "mostly harmless"

When I saw the ticker showing the latam install and distraction data, my heart raced - would we get a new back door glimpse of the data?

Unfortunately, this one is baked in on the server side, so there is no way for us to get a simple interface like we get on the main site :(

For those who have heard us mention it, here is the current link

https://www.seeingmachines.com/api/metrics-remote.php

and this what we currently get
{
"distanceKms": 3266724733,
"distractions": 5335237,
"fatigueInterventions": 130032,
"lastModifiedTimeUtc": "2019-11-21T14:22:35.1290393Z"
}

But now we know why Mike was in Chile, 2345 installs and another 660 lined up now for the Gen 2 Guardian. So it was a big increase on the current installs and a good platform to get the press into - obviously, they have a big market potential their and with $40 million worth of devices lined up for next year, I think a fair amount will be in South America

Yes but, it could be Nauto, since they are already heavily pushed to the regular Uber drivers. Also Nauto are financed by SoftBank, so it is keeping it in the family

Remember to under promise and over deliver

Bauch,

I wonder how they have "enhanced" their regular flat panel trainer?

https://www.l3commercialaviation.com/airline-solutions/training-systems-products/flat-panel-trainer/

So our friends have announced they are purchasing...

The Dubai-based carrier says the firm order for 50 A350-900s – all exclusively powered by Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engines – is worth $16 billion at catalogue prices.

Deliveries will commence in May 2023, it adds.

With that lead time we have a long time to wait even if they do want to add seeing machines in the coqkpit

Plenty of poachers turned gamekeepers. It helps to know exactly what what the other side wants. The best way to do that is to hire their best. They know the lingo, know the requirements etc

Phil, I can't believe they got an award for this. Must have been the best 'intern project in the summer holidays'

Surely Denso can do better than this:

"What particular hurdle did you have to master?

To support individual differences of “face”, we took place face image acquisition globally. Over 6,000 people images were acquired at motor shows in the world with sufficient attention given to personal information. Also, drowsiness estimation logic required detailed and long term experimentation and people-watching with driving simulator and test drive at proving ground"

Thanks JC this is all coming together. Ties in so well with the patents. I get the feeling that if nothing else it allows the various teams to validate that their maps are all the same way up their compasses all point the same way and they are talking the same language to describe the terrain. They all want to get to the same destination from different starting points so each journey will be unique but at least they have shared their skills and knowledge to tackle the common problems (and agree to use Seeing Machines)

Bauch,

It is all part of my cunning plan to annoy the technical traders

'couse I am an amateur, I moved the conversation onto the wrong thread! If we had been at CMD, we would either get a thumbs up for our investigations, or be threatened with thumb screws for alerting others of their secret plans, but yes, it would have been good to have a good chat with the brains behind Seeing Machines

It is certainly possible JC, the next generation aftermarket guardian could do some of the higher level checking that the Toyota Guardian could do - but it would not be integrated into steering or braking. Certainly another uptick in safety without re-engineering the whole truck. Of course it all would depend on the cost to develop and build the new version. But if we have the data, the skills and the time, it would keep us a few steps ahead of the likes of Nauto etc

But we are just two amateur detectives (without a TV show) what would we know

Yes JC, In fact they even covered them self with the very modular option of the power source being a battery in the device which would be charged periodically - so effectively a mobile phone type device with 2 cameras.

Going back to "our" forward and rear facing video clips being used for training. on what the driver is looking at. I always thought that we would limit ourselves to internal and just pass the eye gaze vectors up to the car vision systems. But this would put more value and brains in our system.

I presumed that you wouldn't have two supervisory systems viewing the outside world, but now with the delay in L3/4/5 we will be in L2/L2+ for far longer, so now we need to provide the supervisory vision system for the outside world. So I can see why SEE are going there now.
