I take that as a very good sign that almost no one seems to care. I had wondered a lot about the concept. My thoughts were immediately what do they do in case of a disconnection (jammer or tunnel or outland or outage) and how do they deal with the darkness. What could be interesting as a service provider would be to solve particularly deadlocked situations that seem unsolvable for an AI (I brought up the example with the narrow road).Deliberately I post this without evaluation and want to remain as neutral as possible with this post. I have followed the construction of the booth and immediately two cutting questions but also a solution for an unsolved problem in mind. But make up your own mind about their alternative concept. I am curious about comments.

On second thoughts, its an investor presentation. Managed to log in to the sequire semiconductor conference and looks like BrainChip will use an old PPT to present. Think I will give it a miss. I very much need my beauty sleep.What is this? I’m staying up to watch it

Mercedes Benz : Sales launch for the new Mercedes-Benz GLC
Jul 13, 2022 Stuttgart Press Contact Steffen...www.marketscreener.com
"The next big step: Our in-house developed operating system MB.OS as a direct interface for features that customers can experience, which as a unique and uniform software platform will form the basis for all future Mercedes-Benz vehicles. "@wilzy123 by some miracle I found it. It is above and under the graphic titled Launching in 2021. About the 4th graphic in a very long article
Mercedes-Benz's plan is to build mb.OS for the first time in compact and medium-sized electric vehicles based on the MMA platform, and to adopt a self-developed operating system in all subsequent models.
The reason for choosing to launch MB.OS on the MMA platform model, Mercedes-Benz's consideration is that the users of the entry-level model are younger, more receptive to new things, and can also propose improvements to the system.
In 2020, Mercedes-Benz announced that it will develop its own vehicle operating system, MB.OS, which is scheduled to be ready in 2024 and will be installed on an electric model based on the MMA platform launched in 2025.
Interesting!
“The new rules will rebalance responsibility towards manufacturers, who must ensure conformity with security requirements of products with digital elements that are made available on the EU market,” it wrote in a press release. “As a result, they will benefit consumers and citizens, as well as businesses using digital products, by enhancing the transparency of the security properties and promoting trust in products with digital elements, as well as by ensuring better protection of their fundamental rights, such as privacy and data protection.”(a) rules for the placing on the market of products with digital elements to ensure their cybersecurity;
(b) essential requirements for the design, development and production of products with digital elements, and obligations for economic operators in relation to these products;
(c) essential requirements for the vulnerability handling processes put in place by manufacturers to ensure the cybersecurity of products with digital elements during the whole life cycle, and obligations for economic operators in relation to these processes. Manufacturers will also have to report actively exploited vulnerabilities and incidents;
(d) rules on market surveillance and enforcement.
Excuse my ignorance, but what are the implications here for AKIDA?We're pleased to collaborate with Intel Corporation and NVIDIA to support FP8, driving forward future AI development.
The new 8-bit floating point specification, FP8, addresses the demand for greater Neural Network efficiency as the number of diverse applications requiring more accuracy grows.
Our collaboration to support this one standard will allow you to leverage existing implementations while accelerating adoption across platforms.
With plans to add FP8 support to the Armv9 ISA as part of Armv9.5-A in 2023, this will give you more time to focus on innovation and differentiation where it really matters: https://bit.ly/3BgAJJK

Maybe sometimes it's important to keep the whole thing in perspective. Many posts things that describe the large ecosystem. Not being too focused is sometimes important I think.Excuse my ignorance, but what are the implications here for AKIDA?
I was wondering the same thing. Does this mean Akida can be added to all forms of ARM Cortex?Excuse my ignorance, but what are the implications here for AKIDA?
True but I'm always looking (nervously) for developments that might indicate that AKIDA has been usurped by another company (chip). I know we're 3 years ahead of the competition but the risk and uncertainty still remains until mass adoption of AKIDA is confirmed by company announcements.Maybe sometimes it's important to keep the whole thing in perspective. Many posts things that describe the large ecosystem. Not being too focused is sometimes important I think.
From the article the @Sirod69 has found.I was wondering the same thing. Does this mean Akida can be added to all forms of ARM Cortex?
I think it's good for Akida.Excuse my ignorance, but what are the implications here for AKIDA?
"According to the data, the voice recognition function using neuromorphic computing can wake up 5-10 times faster than the traditional voice control function."
Please read the article! I've highlighted what I liked below.
Article dated today (although I am not sure if this date is actually correct): "Chat with Ms. Jasmine from Mercedes-Benz about electric vehicles in the next era"
Jasmin Eichler, head of the future technology research department of Mercedes-Benz AG
A large part of the excellent energy efficiency of the VISION EQXX concept car is achieved through hardware. But software also plays a vital role.
"UI/UX can give drivers a variety of information prompts, such as environmental protection and efficient driving style suggestions based on actual conditions such as wind speed, sun direction, uphill or downhill, etc. At the same time, the combination of software and hardware can also help the vehicle Reducing energy consumption, and neuromorphic computing is a combination of software and hardware applications, this technology makes the vehicle run more efficiently through intelligent computing methods.”
Neuromorphic computing uses the same computing method as the human brain neuron logic to achieve higher energy efficiency.
"Around neuromorphic computing, especially neuromorphic computing chips, we have carried out all-round cooperation with our partners. In fact, in the future, we will also apply neuromorphic computing to other functions, such as speech recognition and other functions." Yass Min said.
According to the data, the voice recognition function using neuromorphic computing can wake up 5-10 times faster than the traditional voice control function. "This is a very exciting breakthrough because we didn't know exactly what neuromorphic computing could do before."
However, neuromorphic computing is still in a very early stage of laboratory development.
"The human brain itself is a very powerful 'computer', but it does not consume a lot of energy when running, which is one of the basic reasons why we are interested in neuromorphic computing. In the future, we can imagine that neuromorphic computing may It can support more other functions, such as visual sensing for interpreting and judging the signals inside and outside the car." Yasmin further explained.
