Short video from the ASX investor.....

What's the name of this ASX investor guy ?.

Some great insights emanate from his blogs', I find all them most intriguing. He has a good " head on his shoulders " attitude to all of his subject matter.

It would be nice for him to reveal more of his insights into the Brainchip story as he perceives it currently, perhaps he will in the near future. Hope so.

Anyway chippers, our future, in Brainchip, is looking more assured as time progresses, this, I have know doubts about now.

Akida Ballista beckons, >>>>>> The AKIDA revolution is nigh IMHO <<<<<< Hopefully !!!

We do not need to do anything more with LDA until next year. Our obligation is to raise another A$15M no later than 31-Dec-23. We have not decided when we will do that yet but will keep our eye on the market and of course our cash balances which are adequate for now.

As long as the predicted revenue starts to flow and increase into the 2023 year, well, raising another 15M by the contracted timeline will
mean not (hopefully) having to issue many shares, the nearer we move towards 31 Dec 2023 I'd be wanting to see our share price well
north of $3.00 by that point...some of you will be thinking that, that's possibly a rather light prediction, but the truth is, not even the company
can forward predict what the share price will be starting into 2024, and that's even being in the box seat !

Hey Team,

I just wanted to re-visit the Unity Technologies and Mercedes collaboration because I believe there are several important points that are worth highlighting, particularly considering BrainChip has obviously worked VERY SUCCESSFULLY with Unity on the new infotainment operating system which was previewed in the truly amasing Mercedes Vision EQXX concept car - given Akida was/is the actual AI brain-power behind the EQXX infotainment system.

In my humble opinion, I think it would be very unlike if Unity didn't want to pursue other projects with BrainChip especially since together they successfully developed visuals that are " like nothing you've ever seen in the car industry".


  • DId you know that "Unity Technologies is an expert in real-time 3D platforms and powers 70 per cent of all mobile games on the market. It is also a leader in augmented and virtual reality technologies".
  • The new Unity MB.OS is set to debut in 2024 across the Mercedes vehicle portfolio.
  • One article says "Unity's game engine elevates the UI to a new level of digital luxury, with new 3D capabilities and visuals that are like nothing you've ever seen in the car industry".
  • One article says "Keep an eye out for more innovations from Unity that enhance HMI design and development". Could this be hinting that further collaborations with BrainChip may be in the pipe-line?
All of the points above can be verified in the links below.

DYOR!

Hi ui,

My understanding is that the 7nm is the size of the smallest line thickness they can produce using the particular lithographic etching technique. This would reduce the size of the transistors and the distance between them, but there may not be a direct linear size reduction.

Getting down to the smaller sizes, they use FinFET, where the transistor is turned on its side so the "area" dimension is perpendicular to the plane of the silicon, and the thickness determines how much space the transistor takes up on the chip. I suppose that the transistor density for FinFET must factor in the layer thickness and the number of layers.

I think the limit on the actual size of the silicon chip would be determined by the external wires. With the identical circuit layout, they still have to attach the same number of external wires, and that gets very fiddly.

I think we can safely assume the next generation will use Akida in 2024. Not before. I'm confident Akida will be used in all four main areas: powertrain, autonomous driving, infotainment, and body and comfort systems. First time I've read anywhere they are going to use a complete new MBUX infotainment platform in 2024

Mercedes-Benz will introduce a new operating system across its models for the 2024 model year.
The new operating system, simply dubbed Mercedes-Benz Operating System, or MB.OS, will be developed by Unity Technologies and replace the existing MBUX infotainment platform used by all Mercedes models.


Interesting...This article which describes the new Unity MB.OS hints that it may be available next year??? So it looks like @Okeydokey01 could be right about the model years versus calendar years!!!!🤞

It also says "If Mercedes follows the same kind of rollout that it did with MBUX, we’d expect to see MB.OS in A-Class and C-Class models first, followed by everything else".

Instead, the most exciting aspect for both the team and its partner was in how they both planned to drive forward the use of AI and ML in F1.

Neuromorphic Computing for Autonomous Racing

With the rise of successful uses of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) for a wide variety of applications in the last decade, there has been a corresponding increase in interest in applying AI and ML methods to develop intelligent autonomous systems

Algorithm: EONS For training and designing an SNN for this task, we use Evolutionary Optimization for Neuromorphic Systems (EONS) [22]. EONS is based on evolutionary algorithms and trains SNNs for deployment to neuromorphic hardware

We use the LIDAR sensor as the observation, and we utilize information about distance traveled, collisions, and laps completed as part of our fitness evaluation

SUMMARY AND FUTURE WORK Here, we demonstrate a workflow for training a neuromorphic SNN in simulation targeting a particular hardware platform. We demonstrate the success of that workflow on an autonomous racing task. Our next step is to deploy the SNN shown in Figure 4 to 𝜇Caspian and integrate 𝜇Caspian onto the physical car shown in Figure 1.

Yes indeed, because who wouldn't want to "spike" things up a bit?😝

Navigating Driver Privacy and Safety of Electric Vehicles, Self-Driving Vehicles​

A growing number of connected electric vehicles, as well as the evolution of self driving and automated vehicles are putting a greater demand on processing power. New technologies are advancing rapidly with the introduction of new processing methods, according to experts at BrainChip Holdings Ltd (ASX: BRN), (OTCQX: BRCHF), a leading provider of ultra-low power high performance artificial intelligence technology.
These automotive systems rely heavily on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML) to train an increasing number of sensors, components, image and video processors in each vehicle. Autonomous vehicles and near-autonomous vehicles are predicted to generate 12-15 terabytes (1014) of data for every two hours of driving, and all this data has vulnerabilities as it is uploaded to the cloud. Consumer advocates have raised alarms about operator and passenger privacy, including location data, driver health, speed, and more with the dependence on the cloud.
“Many of the concerns about driverless cars and driver assist systems can be addressed with improved AI/ML operations and internal components,” said BrainChip Founder and CEO Peter van der Made. “Safety is a particularly salient one, but energy efficiency, privacy and security are critical considerations for the automotive industry and their supply chain to address.”
Notable ways that improved technology “under the hood” will reduce accidents, protect data, and conserve energy include:
Real-time learning
Improved chips can perform “incremental learning,” and add to their knowledge of the world as they are confronted with new information. Object recognition is one situation when real-time learning is impactful – a car needs to “see” whether an object in the road is a rock, an animal, or a plastic bag and be able to recognize the differences of each to react accordingly. Under current AI/ML processing methods, all are viewed as obstacles.
“Real-time incremental learning, sometimes called one-shot learning, makes it possible to train a chip within a fraction of a second, and trigger corrective action,” said van der Made. “As this is widely adopted, the safety improvements will be enormous.”
On-chip learning
Traditional microprocessors are too slow to perform the type of calculations that are required to recognize objects. A large array of parallel operating cells, each operating according to the same principle as brain cells, perform rapid computations in the vehicle, rather than sending data to a cloud / data center and then waiting for instructions. Not only does this reduce latency so decisions are made faster, it removes the need for internet connectivity, so the vehicle continues to operate even when there is no internet available. And, by retaining data within the vehicle itself, instead of transmitting it to a remote location, security and personal data privacy is vastly improved.
“On-chip learning is likely the single biggest breakthrough for the automotive industry, because this alone addresses critical concerns like response times and data privacy,” said van der Made. “A car travelling at 110 km/h does 50 meters in one second. A one-second, or even a fraction of a second delay in receiving data from the cloud could be fatal.”
Greener processing
Today’s luxury cars contain many microchips. In the future, more advanced self-driving cars will have so many on-board computing systems that their power consumption will have a major impact on the car’s performance. Smaller, light weight, energy-efficient chips will reduce this impact. Ultra low power brain-like processors that can deliver high performance object recognition and an overall higher range of efficiency, so the car’s battery performance or overall power consumption is maximized.
“Combined with on-chip learning, power-efficient processors will also save vast amounts of energy versus transmitting data via the cloud,” said van der Made. “A back-of-the-envelope calculation suggests a 97% energy savings over current technologies, which not only improves the efficiency of the car, it reduces the data center’s energy use.” Each instance that runs on a remote data center is contributing to its huge carbon footprint.
Mechanical monitoring
Advanced AI processing can be used to monitor the health status of the vehicle for early diagnostics through real-time analysis of sensor data. Sensors can identify sounds, vibrations, even odors to identify upcoming problems or failures. This is a safety feature that also eliminates human error, reduces labor and maintenance costs, and prevents machinery deterioration.
Operator monitoring
Future systems will be capable of “seeing” the driver to gauge attention, to verify their identity to ensure they are authorized to operate the vehicle, and alert drowsy or distracted drivers instantly.
“There are valid reasons to question the safety and security of self-driving cars, but the largest and most dangerous threat is the processing limitation of present technologies,” said van der Made. “Less capable processors are the real obstacle, especially if corners are cut. It is critical that all data is processed within the car itself, that the data be protected from leak or attack, and that these developments do not come at a greater cost to people or even our planet.”
