TLS - Never had a car that can self park. Is that L3 ?

Did we know that DMS would be required in new automated vehicles in 2 weeks time for all trials in Europe ?

Thanks TLS. I assumed our DMS would support E2 , E3 and E4. Expecting several RNS tomorrow.

TLS- What about E4 ? Required in two weeks time.

Smokey2 - I agree. I always thought a patent described your invention in such away that it could not be copied and the skill was to write the patent so that it covered everything possible in the least number of words . The key to success was that you were the first person to have the Patent approved. Does a SEE patent have any value?

2020 - We seem to have added 4000 in 5 months so I think 8000 in 7 months could be a stretch. But if we can install some big orders it could be possible. Perhaps low end target.

The Fleet number has increased to 41.6m km for the last week. Since the large jump on Wednesday we have had about 180,000 km per day more than the previous week, (less over the weekend as you would expect). When we had fleet confirmed at 16,000 units on 10th July we had 33.4m km in a week. (We were on 24m km per week at the start of the year). I am expecting the figure to drop a little over the next week and another drop over Christmas and New Year.

We were told 660 in Chile by Feb 2020 ! USA, Mexico , Chile or Canada.

to achieve 770,000 km and assuming 350km / day you would need 2200 extra vehicles than were running last week . To register at 2 am I think they would be USA, Mexico or Canada. But, the numbers could reverse tomorrow.

I know Fleet km goes up and down but the overall trend is up. But today, the figure at 2am was up 770,000 km in 12 hours more than last Wednesday at 2 am and went up another 206,000 km at 2pm , again measured against last week.

ET - without factory fitted units in new trucks I think 60k in 2 years will not happen. 60k at 350km / day would be 21million km per day. Our best days of the week is not yet over 7 million km. When the legislation kicks in it will happen , but I doubt 2 years.

Do I remember that SEE were working on a new product a few months ago about which they did not want to speak? Could forward facing cameras and software be the cheaper alternative to Lidar that Apple are trying to find?

Is Guardian 2 going into Chile significant ? What other countries are still on version 1 ?

Significant shareholders +7% = 54.8%

Thanks to all for providing very positive feedback. It will be interesting to see if the ratio of worldwide data does change further over the next few weeks with the new fleet contracts in the US & Turkey, although they may balance out. I am assuming they are not a 100% 24/7 service.

Launch of the VW Golf with or without SEE at 17:30 ?

Wilson - I think this is exactly what Lombard are doing. The only difference is they do not know the Customers name or how much money they will get or when it will be.

I assume that L3 would not want CAE turning up to retrofit a unit at their training centre. I think it must be each company buys a licence or accepts a competitor does the install. The other option would be that a company like CAT do all the installs worldwide.

TLS - Can you quote the source ?

I think the question of how many new trucks is worth further thought. It seems that Scania, Man, Iveco, Volvo & Daimler produce about 1m trucks from a Worldwide total 2.68m trucks ( 37% of world output per year)

Am I correct that legislation for Trucks is before cars ?
