I wonder, perhaps a bit of a long bow to stretch, maybe?​




"Ford launches Britain’s first hands-free self-driving car​

‘BlueCruise’ system allows motorists to use self-driving without touching the steering wheel

"Ford has launched Britain’s first hands-free self-driving car system after securing permission from the Department for Transport to allow motorists to let go of the steering wheel on motorways.

The company will charge £17.99-a-month to owners of its electric Mustang Mach-E vehicle for access to its “BlueCruise” system, which will drive the vehicle for motorists and allow them to take their hands off the wheel.

Once enabled, BlueCruise will allow drivers to travel at speeds of up to 70 miles per hour on UK roads, using radar and cameras to adjust speed, steer on bends and change position in a driving lane. Drivers will be monitored using an infrared camera to ensure they are paying attention to the road.

The system will be able to adapt to variable speed limits and come to a complete halt in traffic jams. It can adjust its position in the lane, for example when a large vehicle is passing, but not change lanes.



If a driver takes their eyes off the road, the system will show warning messages and audible alerts before slowing down the vehicle."

What‘s the right answer for the last box where it says “ I am a ….?”

There are too many options…What am I? A human, a passable cook, a bit of a dork.. I‘m having an identity crisis. Maybe I should put that in? The webinar willl be over before I’ve finished signing in at this rate!
Too late, but I was gonna suggest put in “feline” and let them work out the mysterious symbolism… Could be anything from a real cat unhappy with the frequent malfunctioning of its current microchip cat flap to German company Rheinmetall interested in tech-upgrading their Leopard and Gepard (cheetah) tanks or possibly a Brainchip competitor in stealth mode… 😸

Synonyms of feline
1
: of, relating to, or affecting cats or the cat family

Good presentation.

A few notes below based on my interpretation and understanding only. These are not intended as advice, guidance, recipe instructions etc. Recommend waiting for the recording and tuning in for yourself.

Cheers.

Presentation
  • Edge AI – The Right compute model
  • Customer Driven. Market Driven. Generations Ahead.
  • Akida - in the market now, real customers and gaining traction.
  • Chips, boards & systems available which people can try.
  • New chip available late Summer, early Fall
  • Market likes what they did with the first chip, have put additional technology into the second.
  • Sean has brought on board a number of high-level industry leaders.
  • Closed a set of licences already (assume MegaChips and Renesas).
  • Can’t build a product without an ecosystem.
  • Auto industry has a lot of interest in AI, and a lot of interest in BrainChip.
  • BrainChip seeing a lot of interest from healthcare as well.
  • Power consumption from data centres is unsustainable. Must move to edge market.
  • Market getting stronger every single day.
  • BrainChip seeing absolute interest in all markets – industrial, auto, health, home/consumer.
  • Fully digital and event based is critical – allows customers to move/deploy to any technology.
  • Easy to convert existing models to Akida IP.
  • Gen 1 product focused on grey boxes (ie. Akida-E)
  • Gen 2 product focuses on addressing orange and blue boxes (ie. Akida-S & P). This results in more functions and more Customers.
  • Tech partners – lubricates the sales cycle.
  • Customers want to know that varying foundries can be used.
  • Selling some chips as a secondary revenue stream.
  • MegaChips can build chips on behalf of other Customers.
  • Renesas releasing chip in coming months.
  • Neuromorphic standard will emerge over coming years - BrainChip intend to be part of that standard.
  • Primary revenue is IP licensing.
  • Royalties are powerful revenue streams.
  • Big market, favourable trend in the edge.
  • Gen 2 - Very strong positive reviews from analysts, very strong interest from Customers.
  • Working with marquee brands.
  • Strong team.
  • Real product, real market, real Customers. Attractive business model.
Q&A
  • Gen 2 – On pace for Q3 release, maybe earlier - development going well. BrainChip developing hardware and software at same time. Too early to sign customers but seeing high interest level from new prospects and existing customers.
  • Future earnings guidance – not at this time. IP licensing model is lumpy and includes a long sales cycle. Hard to predict but as BrainChip matures they will provide forecasts. Complex evaluation cycles ongoing, all going well but can’t time exactly when these will land.
  • When will break even be achieved – Similar to above, BrainChip is not forward projecting. Sean has a multi-year board approved plan.
  • Akida 1500 – expected to sell some of these to integrators. AKD1000 chip is essentially a demo chip. Never intended to be a revenue stream itself.

Seems to me that this is now confirmed as a slow burn. Doesn't appear to be any chance of a sudden ground-breaking announcement that will see a re-rate any time soon. The use of the term 'interested' when referring to customers doesn't really mean much in my opinion, it appears as though none are willing to commit to this new tech and are quite happy to wait and see what each new version will bring. 'AKD1000 never intended to be a revenue stream'....really? I thought Sean said the company would be self sustaining by Y/E 2022 on the back of AKD1000, perhaps I misunderstood. Personally I'm not expecting much from the next 4C or the AGM. Producing better and better chips/IP is fine but not if potential customers keep sitting on their hands waiting to see what's next. Nice, professional looking presentation though.

Seems to me that you don’t understand that Brainchip is the front runner of an emerging technology.

Neuromorphic computing is now starting to be widely researched. Demonstrations of Akida’s capabilities to get customers interest is one thing. To implement them in a customers end product will take time. Only then will a dotted line be signed.

NASA, Us Navy and AF are all still researching this field. It’s not a simple demonstration and sign straight up process. The technology has to be tailored for the use case.

Renesas, Megachips, Arm and Sifive are but a few partners that have confidence in Brainchip. If you can’t wait a few more months for a Renesas MCU with Akida IP to be released and to see results, then you strike me as quite impatient.

The groundwork of a fantastic ecosystem has been laid. No use being negative all the time if you’re going to keep holding a stake in the company.

A big thanks to Evermont for summarizing the presentation.
I agree with Foxdog. This presentation showed that communication with shareholders and the public in general was far from good in the past.
It's almost certain that we can not expect any significant revenue this year.
This means that revenue will start to kick in 2 years after what was forecasted, at best.

To all the people defending the management. Please stop ignoring the red flags that are blatantly obvious to anyone and ask critical questions at the AGM. Saying that the AKD1000 was never intended to be a revenue stream. It boils my blood to put it lightly.
That's my request to all Australian holders who will attend the AGM this year.
Please don't be in denial. Face that the management failed to communicate, failed to fulfill their promises and that most if not all revenue-related predictions were hollow words.

You might call it impatient and negative but I call it realistic......

It was previously mentioned where Tony stated along the line if a customer was using Akida they would be keeping it quite. IMO they must be a lot of NDA ready and waiting for release... IMO they're all waiting for each other to announce first in the mean time they're grinding away honing in on their products...Once the first one comes out I'm highly bullish they'll be a run on others all rush to be 2nd 3rd 4th...no one wants to jump out too early 😀
Ok so which version are we sticking with?

My thoughts are that the current share price is what one would expect with a second or third round private placement from a Venture Capital group. While the average stock buyer perceives that insiders buying at VC prices are quite a privileged group they fail to recognize when a similar deal is offered to them....as in this case.

And in this situation Brainchip's success is nearly assured unlike VC backed deals where a high percentage of the companies fail. They make their money on the one or several big successes.

Brainchip at 3 cents was the ultimate VC bargain.

@Foxdog ?

Honestly I don't know, Pmel comment is first time i've seen that, but thanks bud :)

If true then Tony's statement about no product(s) at commercial stage yet comes across as ambiguous, this could be today there's nothing, tomorrow different story?!

When the customer(s) are ready to announce whether tomorrow, next week , next month ect. they will.

IMO if there was something just around the corner and Tony gave us a definitive time could this be seen as pumping shares?
what if that customer needed 1-2 more months? It wouldn't look good on Tony.

Saying nothing yet is a polite way of saying when you need to know, you'll know!

apologies if misunderstood 🙃

Yes and it would be pretty easy for those who bought at 3c to see the share price at 46c. Unlike those who bought at much higher prices.
