Hi Fact Finder,
Long time
Now that you mention Ford, the news is that their other AI collaborator Agora AI gave up and are closing down their company. The leftovers are split between VW and Ford. Maybe some other awesome AI technology from Australia beated them?

Argo AI, Ford’s Self-Driving Venture With Volkswagen, Is Shutting Down
The automaker said a write-down on its investment in the startup, among the best-funded autonomous tech companies in the U.S., was responsible for its quarterly loss.

Further to this, if it can go down what it did with a small loss and no revenue imagine what it could go up with a little bit of revenueLooking on the bright side, I don’t think our next 4C will be this badso in the mean time I’ll be buying more

A difficult day replaced by a new one. So I am resetting my attitude as I became too confrontational for which I apologise.
I believe in the big picture and one 4C is like a zero in a scene being monitored by AKIDA it just does not rate a spike and certainly not the one seen yesterday.
There are at least 21 reasons why this is so and I posted them yesterday but for the moment ignore every single one of those points and consider how a few million dollars in the 4C can out weighs this publicly, Edge Impulse advertised FACT about AKIDA 1.0.
AKIDA 1.0 out performs GPUs and CPUs.
In the following Techradar surveys the best cheap GPUs are discussed and they are all priced in the hundreds of dollars.

In the tests conducted by Nviso it was able to run AKIDA at 1,000 fps and privately it stated they had achieved 1,670 fps.
In Gaming I am informed by another poster here that frames per second performance is very important and I have even found an article which explains this:
Does Graphics Card Affect FPS? - PC Guide 101
Hence the answer to the question, "does graphics card affect FPS"? is a resounding yes! The choice of graphics card has a direct impact on the FPS on
pcguide101.com
Now if you have opened the above link and read the article you will have found it includes a chart of the frames per second performance of better GPUs and they are sitting in the low hundreds of fps.
By now you might have started to see the very, very big picture and why one 4C or a dozen 4C’s means absolutely nothing against the FACT that:
1. Rob Telson has secured a partnership with Edge Impulse;
2. Edge Impulse has over 50,000 developers using their platform;
3. Edge Impulse has recently completed the incorporation of Meta TF into its platform;
4. Edge Impulse is encouraging these 50,000 plus developers to use Meta TF;
5. Edge Impulse is publicly stating that AKIDA 1.0 out performs GPUs and CPUs;
6. AKIDA 1.0 costing $25.00 runs at more than tens of hundreds of fps;
7. GPU’s costing $100’s run at less than a couple of hundred fps; and
7. The bonus FACT MEGACHIPS largest customer is Nintendo and Brainchip is a contracted supplier of AKIDA technology to MEGACHIPS.
My opinion only I will take the above FACTS over a sugar hit in a 4C every day of the week.
Remember the Data Scientist PhD student who described AKIDA 1.0 as a BEAST? Well that is exactly what it is.
Now add back the 21 other reasons to ignore a 4C result and if an investor cannot now see the very, very big picture staring them in the face then there is nothing more to say.

I accept that what has happened has happened with this 4C and am quite prepared to wait it out till the next AGM.
Accordingly, I will then assess Sean H's and the Co overall progression once I have had the opportunity like many other shareholders that will attend the AGM to ask the hard questions if revenues and IP agreement uptakes are still lagging behind .
Like another poster stated, I too haven't lost any funds today because I didn't sell any of my holdings.
In a awkward and selfish way, I am quite personally happy, that quite a number of shares were sold by those with weak hands.
On a side note, I took this opportunity as a LTH to top up my already substantial holdings.
Sorry FF but I think point 5 in above list is either incomplete or misleading to generalise it like that.A difficult day replaced by a new one. So I am resetting my attitude as I became too confrontational for which I apologise.

Akida 1.0 will outperform those in some aspects but can it do everything that GPUs and CPUs do? They are made for different purposes.
For me this is like comparing motor bikes to cars to buses and saying the motor bike outperforms the other two without saying in what aspect. They all have their own strengths.
Happy for you to point to the source for me to learn more if I'm incorrect.

‘Always look on the bright side of…death’
I posted the above note just before the second quarter 4C following a few down days for our battler. After yesterday, I thought it was appropriate to do so again.
It’s easy to observe the glass half full…half empty factions. It’s also easy to understand both sides of the debate. When having it, the important thing to remember is to be respectful and kind to each other.
Me myself personally can’t really accept that there is no way to provide more info to share holders without infringing on NDA’s and other confidentiality agreements. I have also made my thoughts clear about the premature and excessive incentives and rewards paid to directors, our CEO and his
In saying this, I feel somewhat hypocritical, as I enjoy volatility, cos it offers wonderful opportunities to trade.
Hang tough everyone…happy days will be with us again.

Surely increased institutional shareholdings can be a good thing too - in terms of continued vindication of the technology/product and the company itself?
So Ford, VW, Intel, and Tesla have all attempted to bypass the intermediate steps to autonomous driving (AD) and fallen short - you have to crawl before you can walk.
It's not that the billions of dollars they invested has been totally wasted - you should always learn from your mistakes. But both Ford and Intel have recently sold their AD subsidiaries. The "recently" is significant in that it shows that these large companies are feeling the pinch now. As Sean intimated, it's a tough economic environment at the moment.
Remember that they were attempting AD without Valeo's SCALA. I haven't researched Mobileye's technology in depth, but this sample looks unpromising from a SNN point of view:
US2022222317A1 APPLYING A CONVOLUTION KERNEL ON INPUT DATA
[0028] Both application processor 180 and image processor 190 can include various types of processing devices. For example, either or both of application processor 180 and image processor 190 can include one or more microprocessors, preprocessors (such as image preprocessors), graphics processors, central processing units (CPUs), support circuits, digital signal processors, integrated circuits, memory, or any other types of devices suitable for running applications and for image processing and analysis. In some embodiments, application processor 180 or image processor 190 can include any type of single or multi-core processor, mobile device microcontroller, central processing unit, or other type of processor. Various processing devices can be used, for example including processors available from manufacturers (e.g., Intel®, AMD®, etc.), and can include various architectures (e.g., x86 processor, ARM®, etc.).
[0054] A convolution neural network includes an input layer, an output layer, as well as multiple hidden layers. The hidden layers of a CNN typically include a series of convolution layers that convolve with a multiplication or other dot product. The activation function is commonly a RELU layer, and is subsequently followed by additional convolutions such as pooling layers, fully connected layers and normalization layers, referred to as hidden layers because their inputs and outputs are masked by the activation function and final convolution. The final convolution, in turn, often involves backpropagation in order to more accurately weight the end product.
Argo AI seems likewise deficient:
US2022301099A1 SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR GENERATING OBJECT DETECTION LABELS USING FOVEATED IMAGE MAGNIFICATION FOR AUTONOMOUS DRIVING
[0044] The machine learning model for generating a saliency map may be generated and/or trained using any now or hereafter known techniques such as, without limitation, kernel density estimation (KDE) and convolution neural network (CNN), both of which are differentiable and the parameters can be learned through the final task loss. In KDE, the system may use bounding box centers as the data points that have a bandwidth proportional to the square root of the area of the bounding box. In CNN, the system may represent the bounding boxes as an N×4 matrix, where N is a fixed maximum value for the number of bounding boxes. If there are less than N objects, the input may be zero-padded to this dimension. Once a model has been generated, the system may also apply the model to all bounding boxes in a training dataset to obtain a dataset-wide prior.
[0076] During operations, information is communicated from the sensors to the on-board computing device 720 . The on-board computing device 720 can (i) cause the sensor information to be communicated from the mobile platform to an external device (e.g., computing device 101 of FIG. 1) and/or (ii) use the sensor information to control operations of the mobile platform.
So, not only do they not have SCALA, they don't seem to be aware of Akida.
Could it be possible that both Argo and Mobileye had very good algorithms, but they were implementing them on 20th century processors?
That's like getting into the ring against Muhammad Ali with your shoe laces tied together.

Well after a nights sleep I have come to the conclusion that this drop and severity of the drop was because:
1. Some unhappy holders
2. Additional short sellersadding volume
3. Stop losses triggered.
4. More fear during the drop
5. Alittle more push down by shorts
To the point that new buyers Investers found value to buy. The volume can easily be absorbed buy the short buyin on another account an then settling later on the short. In the long run it will be interesting how many shorts covering wad completed. They have a nice runway to buy up now. IMO
I will add that I did feel fear during the drop I felt that 70s would have held but it did not. Then real fear hit me but I just shut it out over the next few months things will iron out and the stock should recover nice. There is too much happening. Yeah sales are important 100 percent but I do se how industries are really buckling up spending and . One has to remember that these companies have debt and likely no approved spending on any project that does not generate revenue. I would have thought innovation would continue but April to October has been painful for many. When they understand the finanacle direction then I think things will return to a more Norman pace.
I do really wonder as I'm not in the industry but what and how the finanacle decision to lock in the contract and pay really works.
Also are many waiting on the better version of Akida 2.0?
Anyway today is a new day keep chugging away at life if your moving forth your alive be happy!

Hi Milo
As you are emerged you might not know that I am a self confessed technophobe and as such I do not claim any technology expertise so I rely upon the engineer/s in our midst to keep me on track and accurate.
What I do, do, in a haphazard way is remember what is said and 95% of my posts are from memory so you need to do your own research but in making point number 5. I relied upon the following:
1. The Screen shot posted of the Edge Impulse presenter standing in front of the graphic comparing AKIDA technology to GPU's and CPU's and as Brainchip had a much bigger bar by some measure he was suggesting what we have been told by Brainchip;
2. The first thing we were told by Brainchip was at the 2019 AGM presentation by Peter van der Made where he stated that 100 AKD1000 chips could provide all of the computing power necessary to achieve full autonomous driving;
3. The second thing we were told by Brainchip is that AKIDA 1.0 can process all five senses including vision as well as Lidar, Radar and Ultrasonics on chip and can do sensor fusion;
4. The third thing we were told by Anil Mankar is that others (I assume now to be Edge Impulse) were bench marking AKIDA against GPU's and it was coming up favorable to AKIDA; (Just reading your post again to make sure I did not miss anything out and it occurs to me that this statement by Anil Mankar makes your suggestion about cars, buses and motor bikes totally incorrect I think.)
5. The fourth thing we were told is that using the Meta TF platform and the CNN2SNN converter you can keep all your existing compute and run it through Meta TF and the converter and achieve all the benefits of spiking neural network processing;
6. The fifth thing we were told is that AKIDA can do on chip convolution;
7. The sixth thing we have been told at the same 2019 AGM by Peter van der Made is that AKIDA can do maths;
8. The seventh thing we have been told is that AKIDA 1.0 is capable of performing regression analysis for vibration detection; and
9. Finally the ability of AKIDA technology to process multiple video streams with state of the art performance was proven with Studio and Accelerator which both won industry awards both of which were based upon exactly the same but earlier versions of AKIDA technology.
So if I have been misleading I apologize but it was not with any intent as I have simply accepted all of these known facts.
I will leave it to the engineer/s here to take these facts and explain why point 5. is or is not misleading. Perhaps @Diogenese can assist or perhaps you can also as I am assuming you have engineering or data science qualifications though you have not stated so.

In the perfect world I agree but I have as a result of my past careers and my acquired knowledge of how the Investment World works a jaundiced view of increasing institutional shareholding on days like Friday when in my personal opinion the fall experienced was just over the top.
In my cynical world I will always wonder if these increases in Institutional holdings were not as a result of manipulative selling down of the share price to create fear and cause what was a very tightly held stock without a lot of volume to be sold off in panic.
As I say this is just my jaundiced view so I am not celebrating because if I am correct it means some innocent retail investor, perhaps my homeless guy, has once again been handed the raw end of the pineapple.
