Thanks Wilson,

I just emailed the haulier to pass on my thanks to the driver and commended him for his skill and reassurance at the scene. It meant that we could continue to drive with confidence. I have asked if there was some footage available of the incident - I might need a stiff drink when I watch that!

Shallwe, I wholeheartedly concur.

Tonight, driving north on the A1 (2 lanes, no shoulder) I was overtaking a truck as it crested a hill. I was towing a caravan and doing 60 mph. Unfortunately, there was a broken down vehicle only half off the road, the truck braked and moved towards my lane. I accelerated to give it space (partially forgetting I was towing) and moved out to give the truck room. Unfortunately, I must have steered too fast, because now I was being wagged like a dogs tail maybe 4 or 5 oscillations each getting bigger and I knew this would end up with us on our side, but I managed to hold it and brought the speed down., I ended up sideways across lane 1 with the caravan pushing me so that I was just facing the wrong way. I looked up to see the approaching truck and it stopped 3 metres clear. No T-bone

You can breathe now

I was surprised as to how calm I was no sweats, no elevated heart rate, then my wife freaked - "we have to get off the road and behind the barrier" she had remembered that someone had told her that this was important, vital even. But I looked back and the traffic had all stopped - apparently a violently vearing caravan is better than a hazard light for getting attention!

The truck driver came across and said everything was OK and how well we had handled it. (I will contact his firm to thank him) we checked the tyres were ok and I was amazed that I hadn't broken anything or hit the barrier. I reversed the 'van at full lock to avoid hitting the barrier and straightened up (my only damage was a broken reflector on the bumper due to the tight lock). I drove on to a few waves of good luck from the passing drivers and I turned off for the last 30 minutes to home.

Epilogue
So I realise now how my wife in the passenger seat would have been hit by the laptop screen if her airbag went off. I probably won't be able to persuade her to stop, but she can have the chair further back.
Seeing Machines may not have helped, I was alert and facing front. I had Waze running, and it had alerted me to a car stopped on the hard shoulder while I was already in position to overtake (but I didn't notice that there was no shoulder!) Perhaps VW stability control may have helped, it knew that there was a caravan attached, but I don't think it helped. I was hitched with a stabiliser and I certainly could smell burnt clutch when I went to the back of the car, it could have been worse without the stabiliser. But I think that Toyota's guardian with the safe envelope could have prevented me from making the oscillation worse (assuming they programmed it in!)
Ironically, I posted yesterday about AVs testing the surrounding cars to find which were humans and which were AVs so it would know where it would be save to swerve and get an instant reaction!

Good night all and hope you all get home safely every time, technology can't do everything, but each good bit helps.

Of course our robotic overlords will also be interested in SEE technology. They will need to keep a camera trained on their meatbag serfs ensure that we are focused on our assigned tasks, not sleeping on our work shifts and showing the optimum level of fear and subservience.

We are not building a T-800 (yet)

Cars or at least ADAS and AV are a subset of robotics

Cars provide a simple domain to work in. They only go forwards or back, they can steer +/- 45 degrees. They don't fall over. They are governed by laws and so is their environment (stay on the road, road is constant width and marked, road is strong enough, road does not move, slopes are negligible all traffic stays in lane and travels in same direction) and the simplest part you can describe a car with position (x, y) speed and direction just 4 numbers

Compare that with our terminator friend legs instead of wheels. That is a hip, knee and ankle (let's forget metatarsal and toes) each with positions and speeds. How much computation is required to move forwards 1 metre on uneven ground (don't forget to calculate where the center of gravity is)

But robots also need a map (provided or derived) vision, a plan, object avoidance (moving and static). So pick a simple domain avoid some of the problems while you work on the others. Learning to roll before you walk means you can solve making, vision etc then extend that to Arnie.

Now go and look what Softbank is trying to do.

Data flows
Was advertised

Full stack means it is websites, plus mobile apps and all the gubbins that you normally don't see.
Remember the interface that let us know about the number of vehicles monitored well that is part of the role. So it is likely to include interfaces between setting machines and telematics companies. Don't know which direction of course, but it is likely that the telematics companies could get the location data flaws usual and we would process the tiredness/distraction events, but both would be available through a single branded client front end (website or app)

This sas advertised before, either they didn't fill the role, or there was a culture fit problem or a better offer, unfortunately this role is very sought after and the specifity of the stack and moving to Canberra may not be desirable when there are so many other opportunities in the larger cities

Driver monitoring in China: where can we do the most good?
July 5, 2019


There’s a lot of talk these days about China. And as the CEO of an auto industry software provider, I too find myself thinking a lot about China and its emergence as a key market and development hub for smart vehicles.

Every year, roughly 24 million cars and more than four million commercial vehicles are sold in China, making it the world’s largest market for new vehicles. Numbers like that are enough to warrant the attention of any auto industry executive. However, I’m more concerned with a smaller, but arguably much more important number: 700.

That’s the estimated number of people who die every day in China due to traffic accidents – more than 250,000 annually. That’s like having half my hometown of Gothenburg, Sweden disappear each year. Even after adjusting for China’s outsized population, the country’s 18.8 traffic fatalities per 100,000 inhabitants is more than double that of Europe (9.3) and more than four times greater than Japan (4.1).

Making roads safer with eye-tracking

Now China’s roads may not be the world’s most dangerous, but I still find these figures frightening – and unacceptable. So I was thrilled when I learned that Chinese authorities had decided to take action to combat the problem. And when it emerged that one of the first measures would be to promote driver monitoring systems on both new and existing vehicles, I knew our company had a role to play.

Ever since founding Smart Eye 20 years ago, I’ve been motivated by a desire to help make our roads safer by developing and deploying a driver monitoring system (DMS) that relies on eye-tracking technology to reduce the dangers that come with distracted driving.

So far, Smart Eye has focused on working directly with manufacturers to integrate DMSs into new vehicles. Our technology can already be found on 45 new car models at various stages of development. And while this approach remains the primary foundation of our business strategy, I felt we had both a moral and business imperative to consider how Smart Eye could complement its existing approach in order to capitalize on the unique aftermarket opportunity presented by China’s new regulations.

We had to ask ourselves, where could we do the most good?

It quickly became apparent that the answer to that question – both in terms of road safety and Smart Eye’s continued growth – was China. Only by quickly committing additional resources to China could we reap the full benefits of what will no doubt be a limited, but nonetheless massive opportunity to equip potentially tens of millions of vehicles with DMSs – and potentially save tens of thousands of lives.

https://smarteye.se/blog/driver-monitoring-in-china-where-can-we-do-the-most-good/

And so a couple of weeks ago at CES Asia we launched Smart AI, a standalone DMS featuring technology initially developed for European premium car makers that’s been adapted to the China comme

Thanks Shallwe - but remember these are just off the cuff opinions, and not often well thought through. Feel free to post alternative solutions or point out the obvious that we may have missed. That is the problem with patents, they can cloud your mind as you drown in legalease

John, I saw that but I think they were planning on making money - licensing their WHOLE"Guardian" platform.

I am more worried that this sort of patent would stop other companies taking SEE or other technology and being unable to configure the vehicle to pull over or ring for help in an emergency without infringing on a patent. Somethings should remain free and open

One plus point is that there should be no more to come from this source as it is not a round number
8,032,547

Not much to go on here either. My take is that an AV is more sensitive to position and speed. So I could measure the reaction and reaction time of the surrounding vehicles if I intentionally move position in my lane. Should be so minor that the occupants don't notice, but AVs would compensate quickly . With that knowledge, I know that in an emergency I can swerve safely towards the known AV if I need to rather than towards the meat bag who is sitting with hands at 10 to 2 but thinking about his next meeting

Very vague and I would rather see this one available to all car companies, not only available to save a life in a Toyota. Especially as Volvo are planning to do this, GM, stop the car if you don't respond and OnStar will try to contact you

Not something that affects SEE directly, but Apple is testing faking our eyes so that it looks like you were looking at the camera not the screen

https://www.theverge.com/2019/7/3/20680681/ios-13-beta-3-facetime-attention-correction-eye-contact

Hi John,
From a quick scan, it seems to be about a mobile device ie a phone, so its frustration sensors are microphone, movement sensor or heart rate sensor. I don't think this stops us suggesting measuring frustration levels and passing the reading onto a car where it and its navigation aids could re-route. (Also the liability for infringement would not be our problem)

Sorry but you are researching faster than I can read!
