How Mercedes-Benz CEO Ola Källenius is refocusing for an electric future

<p>Mercedes-Benz CEO Ola Källenius became CEO in 2019 but has been working for Mercedes since 1993 in almost every part of the company. During that period, Mercedes spent time getting a lot bigger; the company famously merged with Chrysler for a time, forming a giant called DaimlerChrysler. But...

The Stuttgart, Germany-based carmaker Mercedes-Benz‘s India research center is the company’s largest research & development (R&D) facility outside its home country. The Bengaluru-based facility, which draws from the best of India’s IT talent pool, is driving the bulk of technology development after over two decades of its establishment as a captive center. It is here that the majority of the company’s technology development for autonomous vehicles and connected cars occurs in collaboration with global teams.

Mercedes-Benz Research and Development India‘s (MBRDI’s) fingerprints are all over the company; It is an indispensable part of everything from infotainment systems to automated solutions and computer vision to the design and production elements of the ultra-premium vehicles.
“We spent our formative years as a student, learning from a company which already had 100 years of car-making history. Now, with the advent of digital, we’ve become the largest R&D hub globally, ”said Manu Saale, managing director and CEO, Mercedes-Benz Research and Development India (MBRDI), told Economic Times.

Saale attributed MBRDI’s emergence as a powerhouse of innovation to India’s growing talent pool. It employs some 9000 workers and is expected to hire 1000 more during the year.

MBRDI is in “hyper mode” to recruit people with digital skills, which Saale says is akin to hiring for an IT company. With the break-neck speed of innovation in the car industry, Saale expects high-throttle requirements to continue over the next few years.

Among MBRDI’s many contributions include its work on MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) which boasts of features like the interior assist — the complete AI software for which was developed at MBRDI. It was also instrumental in developing the ‘Hey Mercedes’ feature. The center is also closely involved in the development of the MB. OS (Mercedes-Benz Operating System) which is expected to be the core software platform for all its cars from 2024.

Brainchip India is purely devoted to AKIDA software development.

AKIDA BALLISTA

AKIDA BALLISTA

"the complete AI software for which was developed at MBRDI"

 

[Labsy]

"Mercedes engineers worked with California-based artificial-intelligence developer BrainChip to create systems based on the company’s Akida hardware and software. Among other things, the technology makes the “Hey, Mercedes” voice control system in the EQXX five to ten times more efficient than conventional voice control"

Yes of course, use akida ip but I vaguely remember them wanting to fabricate their own soc with akida ip... but I could be wrong. Brain fog.

Yes of course, use akida ip but I vaguely remember them wanting to fabricate their own soc with akida ip... but I could be wrong. Brain fog.

I think what you might be remembering is an article where Mercedes said they were looking to reduce the number of semiconductors and do this by producing their own custom designs.

As wild speculation only you might also, as I do, see coincidence in the fact that Peter van der Made in his presentation to the 2019 AGM said that AKD1000 technology could significantly reduce the number of processors required for sensors in an AV.

Just reconfirming what we all ready knew. 2024 is it and rules out the new MBUX currently being rolled out.

I've said this before. I've always suspected Mercedes wants to hit the market using Akida with a bang to wow like Apple unveiled the iPhone. They don't want to slow release bits and pieces.

 

[Dhm]

I would imagine that many of these NDA’s, once Akida is embedded, proven and working well, will WANT to announce to the market just like Mercedes did. Look at the publicity they got. Amazing publicity for them, and therefore us. Other NDA’s may see further announcements by competitors as to Akida efficiencies and be forced to announce in a ‘me too’ way for fear of not being market leading.

At least I hope so.

For the golfers amongst us I’m playing Cruden Bay today.

Afternoon Dhm,

Agree with the above.

Good looking golf course, I'm Shaw you are having a great time.
Might have to slip a bottle of GlenDronach 50 year old into your golf bag, on the off chance we get a great ASX announcement.

One can never be to prepared.

Regards,
Esq.

I think that BRN and WBT show similarities.They might even combine someway in the future.

Today I received a Q2 2022 update email from WBT . Sorry, I can't see a way to post a link to it without possibly risking my security, but I believe it would be accessible to anyone interested via a request to their website.

I liked the way it attempted to take me, as a shareholder, kind-off into its confidence, by explaining processes they have to go through to ultimately get their chips to market.

I think it would be interesting and educational for BRN to post a similar update.

 

[Slade]

When do you think then

I have my heart set on seeing revenue come in sometime in the next 6 months. If not, you will find me in the far North of Thailand, bald headed, wearing an orange robe, sitting in the lotus position upon a mountain top, chanting the BrainChip mantra as I fondle my Buddhist beads.
