your are right S20,

We should get out of these fleets and automobiles and let someone else take the risk.

We should go back to what we were good at - selling cameras for research to all these eye tracking start-ups. There must be handfuls of untapped companies that we could sell a camera or two too

NZI - Insurance "free trials"

So in the second video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fqTqE_rhoI

NZI talking about Guardian:

"... from an insurer's point of view we just loved it. So our response was to start funding a trial for our customers. We put some machines into their vehicles. Give them a period of 6 weeks to see if they liked them, invariably they did and those cameras are still operating in those machines today.

So the feedback from our clients is similar to what we expected - they saw the value in them, and almost without question we have had feedback that lives have been saved and certainly truck damage has been saved with the intervention of the Guardian machines."

They have even started to put the devices into their own fleet assessors cars, to keep them safe and to demonstrate to customers!

Please Seeing Machines - start screaming this from the rooftops and sign up insurers to do this great work elsewhere!

Wow - that is advanced (and I actually understood it on a second reading) I even have some history in this area (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/0030401893904428)

This will help with the low sunlight scenario and potentially allow different cameras to work together, or to differentiate between different light sources, or to simplify processing - imagine standing in the dark and being illuminated by stripes of light then when viewed from a different angle you can "see in 3d"

Sorry Chris, but I can't see that happening. Those numbers of AVs are completely unrealistic and based on peak hype. We know that level 4 is far from likely in that time span and going to cost a fortune. The is no mileage in these AVs as taxis if they still need a safety driver and they are too expensive to be common and privately owned

Interesting to see who is missing:
Uber, Waymo, Ford, ...

This is encouraging:
2.2.2.15 USER STATE DETERMINATION
In addition to well-designed HMI for the user, other systems can measure and portray information useful for the user and the relevant (vulnerable) road users in the environment by using new state-of-the-art technologies (e.g. a driver-monitoring camera) and by taking advantage of established technologies (see Table 6).

Table 6: Example of Available Technology and Potential Use of Sensor Data to Measure or Detect Occupant Attributes and to Inform

Like HMI, the sensor set to measure occupant attributes such as driver distraction or mode confusion should be tested on reliability and validity using a heterogeneous sample of potential clients, because certain eye shapes, glasses or heights may challenge the corresponding sensor systems

There is good and bad on the way...

Deterioration of LVP1 (light vehicle production ) Forecast Across our Major Regions
approximately 24 million fewer vehicles for the period 2019 to 2022.

That was from Veoneer's last briefing, they are hurting. R&D costs for them is far worse than ours. They have a massive order book but it is all tomorrow. The more work they take on the more their costs rise (1300 new engineers)

Now the re is a car slump coming (China trade war, environmental aspects, high cost of AV and EV and Extra safety will make cars cost more and the money isn't there) in the US the average car is 12 years old, and there isn't a ready supply of cheep 2nd hand vehicles due to the last drop in sales in 2007, so many parts of the market are suffering together. China was the bright spot in the market, but now that is hurting those who over extended there. The Chinese government is now implementing new levels of pollution control. Many of their new car Companies will fall by the wayside as they struggle to adopt the National VI standard.

But we know that now much of the market in traditional markets is tied to 3 year leases. They will continue to turnover and each generation will have new tech. NCAP etc will ensure that we have a market and it will be steady but maybe 30% smaller, but then it will be ubiquitous.

The extra delay is the grouping and regrouping of car companies as they try to adjust to all of the changes and they are forced to work together to share costs. This does benefit us as we are the safe choice as long as we are financially stable, the problem is that we may be a bit tight as consolidation delays decisions, but hopeful fleet will see us through now that it is fixed.

That job is for working with the likes of Eriksson and the old networking part of Nokia. It is for communications not automotive.

Nothing is happening either.

Still now that Google thinks that I can read Swedish, I get Scandi adverts! Much easier to ignore

Schlemiel, Alex Roy would be thumping the table no, no, no. Tesla and Cadillac are not level 3. At level 3 the driver can be eyes off.

I don't know if it is relevant but the Bosch - Interior monitoring systems page was last modified on 3rd June 2019, but that seems to be the date for many other pages. However, the interior monitoring systems page link first seems to have appeared at the end of April.

Is that when when Bosch got (some of) their contracts signed? Or just when Marketing got around to updating their products?

So first it appeared that there may have been a large buyer who is purchasing say 100M shares at say 3.21 shares. The sellers keep feeding it, but the price barely moves, they never got to the required number of shares so nothing appeared on the books, the transaction was still open.

But now if no one wants to take the sells, then is it the MMs? Do they suspect that the end of June date is when some NDA's expire - perhaps on many contracts - all secret until the same day?

So were they squirrelling away as many cheap shares as they can. Now they just ran out of cash/hit a maximum so are just waiting for the news and the tsunami of buys at a vastly higher price?

Hi Beef, it is a quickly developed self driving device that contains its own DMS. Deep learning with users data shared to provide more learning data for development.

It was developed by a very smart guy George Holtz who was selling it until the US government knocked on his door then he stopped selling (liabilities?) you will find plenty of background over at theDrive.

ok thanks Sch,

No, I am more interested if someone has placed a buy order for say 100M would the MM's hoover up all the sells for days on end without the transaction appearing. Or would it have to go through as several purchases because of a maximum transaction duration eg trading day, 24 hours, end of week, end of month (or because the broker needs paying)?

I know that once the transaction has gone through, the new holder/sellers may need to notify SEE and them notify us if the sale crosses one of the boundaries

So are we going to see a large purchase of 10M+ in the next day or so? Can large purchases span multiple days?

We are sitting on another little acorn. It will grow soon

Unfortunately Bytons will be rare in these parts as the CT6. Come on mass market (no we don't need the F-150 in the UK either)

Since this is a clean sheet design of a car, form follows function. I can't think of another practical or stylistic reason for the bar to be there - out of the way of the steering wheel and facing the driver. It could be a display - but they are not short of space on the other 2 screens. And in the second close up photo, I am sure you can see at least one lens
