Apple has won a patent for a high spec VR headset that includes cameras that can identify facial expressions, although if everyone is wearing a VR headset how it does that is beyond me, however they are very clever at Apple

Hopefully someone that is more techy than me can tell us the implications!

I took one look at Telegram and haven't been back since - I'd rather stick with this one playing up. I suspect nothing's been posted - there is only so long that you can talk about speculation. Still McSoon is bound to be in touch in the near future.

Alternatively, the last aviation announcement we had was 'imminent', while this one is expected in the 'near future', which in my understanding of English is likely to be longer. No, I'm not serious!

Didn't know they were moaning about this share - mind you, I do seem to have had a lot of green boxes lately. They are always good for the blood pressure.

Don't stop looking/posting Milly - your views are always welcome - just use the filter button more!

Sorry KL, but could you do an idiots guide for me on that one - how does 'full subscription' work on an uncapped offer?

Well remembered S2020, but this one looks at a different area; it looks much more at the strategic development and social acceptance of autonomous everything, such as the need for regulation to be wider than industry specific and where responsibility for mistakes will lie (manufacturers???).

Just listened to the debate (45 mins) - good background stuff. Reference to 'single pilots' and lowering expectations to allow for cars to crash amongst many other things. It's clear that their (2 man) panel was expecting some fields (military/mining) to embrace full autonomy earlier than others, but that they still see it coming in auto (20 years - my guess) once benefits are explained and understood by the public. Plenty of room for SEE - suspect the BAE guy was well aware of them!

Sorry, asleep on the job - I've been expecting something like this from BAe Systems for 3years and then I nearly missed it..

Developing trust in the performance of autonomous systems is a critical step before they can become more widespread. However, if we can build up the data and make it the data clear enough to prove they are safe and effective, I believe that people will accept that autonomy can improve our lives and make us safer.
There’s another non-deterministic system that’s already driving our cars, flying our planes and looking after our children - humans!
Dave Short, Technology Director, BAE Systems
After all, globally well over a million people die every year in automobile accidents, caused by human drivers. I’m confident that autonomous systems will eventually help us reduce this number significantly.

ISEE15p - have you seen the Telegram group?

Shallwe - I could have written that exact same post - looks like we came in at the same time and take notice of the same people!

One for the more thoughtful posters and researchers - I've just seen on the board of another AIM company (Solid State - basically a battery co.) a post that they are working with Nvidia on self-driving vehicles.

2030 is Philtronic I think?

Thanks Sandy - I'd have preferred a bit more upbeat description though!

Is 'entry-level DMS' really an accurate description of SEE tech?

They only have to be right once and we'll all be happy!

I agree S2030 - good on you Bax. Everybody's situation is different so do what is right for you not what others on this board think you should. Despite my price forecast 'spike' being rubbish (this is 12 months earlier than I expected) I will be hanging on in there a while yet to see if this jump has legs. Contrary to what some may think I haven't being buying shares hoping it goes down - I'm just not a fully paid up member of the HCB!

Unfortunately according to the BBC Hyundai seem to be backtracking on their'announcement'.

Excellent news indeed and there are two more guaranteed on the list too! Let's just hope there are many more this year.

Agree with you Red, however it is still the same company and until some (any?) of S2020's list are actually delivered I will continue to stay watchful and call out the uber-optimists - perhaps I should just blob them instead, but you never know they might contribute some new research soon.
