Smokey2 - two weeks ago we were had the highest ever at 42.2m km, we dropped about 260k last week. We are up 200k yesterday compared with the previous Monday. Which numbers am i not seeing ?

Smokey2 - On what do you base this comment ?

Terrym - I am thinking 21,500

I thought these stats were worth sharing. I think they show the effect of Christmas & New Year and will show progress going forward. We should reach 4bn km within the month.

When was the compliance date for DMS in new trucks and vans ? This could also generate the monitoring fee.

I keep coming back to the thought that Lombard are buying and selling. They could feed shares into the market taking a profit but the sp goes down. They then hoover up the shares that others decide to sell. When they reach 19.9% I guess they stop selling , and the sp goes up and up. All we see is the Net change in the RNS. The last two lombard RNS were at 4.3p so things may be moving upwards. Whether this theory could account for a 23 million gain I do not know.

How about - On 4th Feb 2020 GM announce that all 9 GM Business units will fit SEE DMS in 40 different models

TLS - I think 18 months is a long time in terms of DMS. The 2020 model could be very different.

TLS - The words do seem to split Lane assist from Drowsy driver

What's XC40’s safety equipment and crash ratings?

In addition to the things like airbags and seat belts, standard safety equipment on the 2020 Volvo XC40 includes
front and rear collision warning,
automatic emergency braking,
a driver alert system that watches for drowsy driving,
lane keeping assist and road sign information.

Brockwl -
I think the increase you are seeing last week is the return to work after Christmas & New Year. We reached 41.59m km( highest ever) in the second week of December and 38.6m km last week and 39.6m this week. The lowest was 29m km in Christmas week. I think we need a couple more weeks to see the latest trend.

The 90 day moving average may be a good indicator going forward to show if we are making progress. The problem comes when looking for the financial impact.

Regards the days of the week , totally agree Monday and Fridays show the weekend effect

Numpty - Does VSI have a role now or are they waiting with Lombard with a 30% holding and a seat on the board?

The Lewbo mind map seems to have suddenly changed focus.We now seem to have the OEM linked to a named chip manufacturer, component assembly by named Tier 1 with back office support by SEE. Will SEE now ever get a VW or Toyota contract and are we bothered if big cheques start coming through? Visually we previously had the OEM , Tier 1 and chip company in three directions on the mind map. Visually, I think its now in a line. Perhaps three or four lines, all paying SEE

Have just added half a billion km in 94 days

At first I thought this was bad news but it seems different to SEE

Cartica AI says it has developed the means to substantially shorten the time and data requirements currently necessary to train driver-assist and self-driving systems. Rather than relying on neural networks that demand large volumes of information from which to learn, Cartica AI uses an "unsupervised learning" approach that lessens the need to train systems for every conceivable scenario.

The company's technology compresses data into generic signatures that systems can identify in far less time.

"They're reinventing how AI can work, and it's a highly teachable type of learning," Neumann told Automotive News. "It's really interesting. You don't need the whole process of labeling things, and you need 10 percent of the computing power and energy of a traditional neural network.

When you look at the data at the next level we seem to be making good progress in those parts of the world that contribute to the 2pm figure. I think this is any country between Turkey & Thailand . A few more months like November would be good.

Mid December I tried to estimate where the Fleet numbers may be going in 2020 using the average km/ day figure , assuming we continued without significant change. The Christmas break has reduced the average km per day which has moved the trend line slightly down. I am expecting a rapid increase back to the previous position in the next couple of weeks when everything returns back to normal.

But if its a Company vehicle or driving on Company Business the Employer takes a big slice of responsibility.

This was discussed a couple of weeks ago. It says nothing about Smarteye. It describes the opportunity.
Imo Smarteye would not hold back with facts about their work with Aviation if they were active.

TLS - Can you clarify the 2 week requirement. I copied the following statement for item B with the extra 2 week clause for Autonomous Vehicles. I read this as having three parts: prohibition of the registration , placing on the market and entry into service of components and separate technical units. I took this to mean more than just a sale to a member of the public. I assumed Uber would have to register a test vehicle to be able to use on the road.

"Date for the prohibition of the registration of vehicles as well as the placing on the market and entry into service of components and separate technical units: 7 July 2024"
