The significant shareholders have 43% of the shares with a further 12% not in public hands. Why would 55% of the shareholders, who get detailed information from the CEO from time to time, sell out without getting a very significant premium. This group could just say that is not enough based on their knowledge of the potential and reject the offer !
The same would apply whether its 3 million or 3 billion

The trend line to 30th June 2020 estimates 31,500 fleet units. (94% accurate) This is all based on the last 13 weeks data. Very close to seeing 2020 estimate.

Terry - To be clear my 24,000 figure was Fleet installations by the end 2019. When I change the end date to 31st December 2020 its very nearly 40,000. Time will tell.

The trend can only be based on past figures

Terry - With 3 more results to be added to make a full week I am expecting 34.4million km this week. The trend line indicates 24,000 units by year end

Looks like Canada wants to do the same.

Did someone say that Aurora seem to be using SEE ?

Fleet managed 33.4million km last week. 26 million in January was a good week

Fleet have recorded over 32.3million km in the last week. Analysis of the km travelled for the last 7 weeks shows a trend line predicting 58m & 84m km per week by 16th June 2020 & 2021. (R2 0.9682). Taking 350km per day as stated previously by SEE this would be 23k and 34k units installed. If the increase is the same as last week it will jump to 33m km by next Sunday

Its also less than 2 weeks for Fleet to achieve 2.5bn km travelled.

It seems that Uber got 1bn from Soft bank, Denso and Toyota to develop autonomous cars. But then Uber place an order with Volvo, how can that be?

looking at the time its taking OEMs to design DMS into cars what else could Uber do to keep the project going. When asked he could not say it would not prevent another incident. The project would just stop.
A second person and a monitoring system always seemed a quick fix until it could be automated. Yes it must help, but until then you must keep asking - Whatif ?

and Volvo

I have read several reports on the Uber / Volvo 2nd phase development today.

They have included things like:
Uber and Volvo are to share the same platform which Volvo will develop across other models
Uber will trial with semi autonomous cars before fully- autonomous cars
Uber will only start trials without a driver when they have backing from the public and regulator.
Volvo want to develop a system like Super Cruise as soon as possible.
Uber are looking at 10,000 cars
Uber have taken delivery of 12 cars in the new format but not used them yet on public roads.

But no mention of driver monitoring. So I went back to the earlier RNS about BdMS

Guardian BdMS leverages Seeing Machines' automotive-grade FOVIO driver monitoring technology in a convenient retrofit system for semi- and fully-automated vehicles. ( fits Uber)

It is designed to help the backup-driver in an autonomous driving vehicle stay alert, aware and ready to take control of the driving task whenever necessary, ( fits Uber)

as well as help the autonomous vehicle fleet owner to monitor and evaluate backup-driver performance. ( fits Uber)

Nick DiFiore, SVP and GM of Automotive at Seeing Machines commented: "It has been gratifying for the Seeing Machines team to work with a sophisticated customer ( fits Volvo)

who shares our passion for road safety, ( fits Volvo)

and we are delighted to see our technology used to achieve the safer development and testing of autonomous vehicle technology on our public roads".

If the plan is to fit BdMS into 10,000 Volvo cars that will be used by Uber, that must be a massive change for SEE. If 12 cars are about to go onto public roads with massive press coverage it must get communicated very soon

Not sure if this is new. The article talks about Uber & 2nd generation Volvo SUV for testing. Its does not mention Guardian but does say -"Meanwhile, Volvo has aspirations of its own. The aforementioned Nvidia-kissed vehicles are supposed to begin arriving in 2020, serving as the framework for subsequent products with legitimate self-driving credentials. At the very least, we know the company wants to launch something akin to Cadillac’s Super Cruise as soon as possible".

Do we know how many cars Uber are using ?

Could you give an update next week ?

2020 - with respect I found a link yesterday for 4000 Guardian units in NZ by year end. I have posted this twice. I guess all the rubbish from ET has pushed everything back and nothing gets picked up.

Can I repeat my message from yesterday. Looks like TIL is one customer, they must have others pending.

Driver fatigue monitoring cameras to be installed in 4000 Kiwi trucks by years end
