They still have two humans to keep an eye on the car and each other.

Brutus, you have been busy on the "night" shift. I thought it would take a few weeks to get to that level.

I think you need to press 'Resubmit'

I look forward to reading it properly tonight.

I tried to submit a bare-bones page which was rejected for Seeing Machines not being a "notable" company.

Since then I have started to write a more comprehensive page which mostly follows the Wikipedia guidelines. But it is a bigger and longer task than I had time for. The work in progress is in Draft form, so if anyone else wants to jump on board and contribute then re-submit it for approval, then feel free - it is wikipedia after all!

If Seeing Machines want to keep an eye on it they can - after all they are still trying to keep their light under a bushel and wikipedia is a bit more public than this board!

I like a challenge!

Brutus,

I tried to create a Seeing Machines wikipedia page, but it was rejected as Seeing Machines are not a "notable" company. That is why the previous page was rejected in 2012

I can understand why. Despite everything that is happening, we are not getting more than a passing mention in the mainstream media.

I did manage to convert the Seeing Machines references on Alex Zelinsky's page and also on the "Driver drowsiness detection" page, they now point to an empty Seeing Machines page does not exist.

Still once we get bought for out at a unicorn valuation (several times over) Seeing Machines may get a page as a footnote in History before being absorbed into ...

...it is only a basic starter, but it is pending approval!

S7eve, with Brexit going so well, even you may get a top up opportunity in next month or so

Baxter, I was thinking John Lawrie.

Sorry I couldn't find a link on youtube

Can someone re-post the link to the excellent documentary of the SEE Boardroom meeting which prompted the filming of Downfall?

Yep I managed a second viewing today. Half the time laughing and the rest reminding myself that this is real history not a future distopia

Here is the FOVIO chips staring role

I think Mark Wahlberg could do a brief cameo as TheLongestShot. Break down some garage doors tracing the gangs installing inferior DMS systems. Follow the money to find that the evil mastermind is actually some kids on a school sience project which they have copied off YouTube.

Then he can uncover the real numbers behind the fleet were available all along - we all had them hidden on our PCs you just needed to press F12 and look at the network tab and when browsing to See website. As long as he is wearing a hoodie it will be hacking!

18k in Fleet "or about to join". So they will be busy installing the 4k that don't have the devices yet.

I have been waiting for this interview to appear since it was trailed by SEE.

I think that was Alex that teased the X6. But, Nick's silence was enough of a confirmation for me.

Nick did say that most of the 5 OEMs were looking at going across to all models. I think the exception could be Byrom. They don't have other existing models to bring to the party!

But keep this quiet. I still need to accumulate at a reasonable price!

Sorry Chris - you posted as I was reformatting mine!

New 2019 VW Passat

130 mph Travel Assist - only monitors the driver by capacitance touch on the steering wheel - may as well rest my phone on the steering wheel while I check my messages then!

Travel Assist
Partially automated up to 210 km/h. The use of Travel Assist in the new Passat is a world première. Like with the predecessor system Traffic Jam Assist, the adaptive cruise control ACC is responsible for longitudinal guidance in Travel Assist, while the Lane Assist adaptive lane guidance system handles lateral guidance Whereas this automatic longitudinal and lateral guidance system was only available up to a maximum of 60 km/h in connection with Traffic Jam Assist, the Travel Assist option in the new Passat enables partially automated driving up to 210 km/h. Travel Assist is activated via the multifunction steering wheel in a matter of seconds with a single button on the left-hand steering wheel clip. If Travel Assist is active, it enables partially automated driving on Level 2 of the spectrum of the official degrees of automation between 0 and 5. The driver must permanently monitor the system in Level 2 for legal and safety reasons.
To ensure this, Travel Assist monitors whether the driver has hands on the steering wheel. This is more convenient in the new Passat than ever before as a direct result of the first capacitive steering wheel from Volkswagen. It is now sufficient that the driver merely touches the steering wheel; the capacitive surface recognises that the driver is still controlling the vehicle by means of ‘hands-off detection’. In the past, feedback was required from the driver in the form of a slight movement of the steering wheel. Furthermore, the following applies: if the driver lets go of the
steering wheel for more than around 10 seconds, then a series of warning signals (visual, acoustic, braking jolt) are issued. The driver must react by this point at the latest and touch the steering wheel, otherwise Emergency Assist is activated and the Passat is automatically brought to a stop.

On linkedIn there is an advert for a Senior Project Manager. We know why they are busy...

"Seeing Machines is engaged on a multitude of automotive programs at the forefront of innovation, being delivered by highly skilled engineers and scientists. These programs require world-class project management to deliver our technology on time, within budget and to the required quality standard"

Hold on, I am not ready yet.

I fell that I owe it to the rest of the BB that I should suffer for another year or two, and be forced to keep adding in all my future savings in before anyone lights the blue touch paper!

Not us - but interesting

Harness Dickey (DENSO International America, Inc.) (P.O. Box 828 Bloomfield Hills MI 48303)

What is claimed is:

"1. An adaptive instrument display comprising: an instrument cluster displaying a plurality of gauges; a steering wheel having at least one sensor; at least one camera; and a processor collecting data from the at least one camera and steering wheel sensor and determining a steering wheel position and an occupant's line of sight, determining an obstructed portion of the instrument cluster based on the steering wheel position and the occupant's line of sight, and altering the gauges on the instrument cluster based on the obstructed portion. "

This sounded familiar

"To cut to the chase: the driver will continue to be Porsche’s number one focus in the future. Everything revolves around the driver, including the controls. Should the driver lean to the side, sit up higher, or sink down in the seat, the five OLED round instruments that are virtually displayed on the flat, free-standing panel will follow these movements with what is referred to as a parallax effect. This helps prevent the steering wheel from blocking important information. And there’s more. Thanks to an eye-tracking system, the camera sensors always know which instrument the driver is looking at. Pressing a button on the steering wheel will then activate that instrument. Driving pleasure is guaranteed. So is feedback—the face-tracking system reflects this pleasure by displaying the corresponding emoticon on the instrument; this can be saved and shared along with further data.

The dashboard is brimming with new ideas as well. Based on the cockpit design of the very first 911, a broad holographic display can be activated with a wave of the hand. The driver or front passenger can then operate the radio, navigation system, climate control, phone, and individual apps in touch-free form. Intuitive gestures, detected by sensors, do the trick."

No mention of the camera doing DMS - but who would consider sleeping rather than driving in their new Porsche Taycan
