This is interesting but does Edge AI really fall into this part of the cycle??? https://www.gartner.com/en/articles...DOrDHRnTw2-N7p9ndn7R_eHNr64nt8kkylAqzkgvrtkLI

Just throwing it out there but is it possible MB are using 2 different MBUX versions. 1 for ICE vehicles and another for EV's. I just reading about the new AMG C63 to be release in 2023. The screens are completely different to the EV SUVs they are now producing in the States which go from A pillar to A pillar. They have made the new AMG C63 a hybrid with 4 cylinders instead of the usual 8. I'd still be happy with one parked in my garage.OK, I just finished the 3rd video-watching shift and now I'm owed double overtime otherwise known as double-bubble.
Maybe someone else can check what I am saying here in case I'm reading too much into things. If you start watching at 1:02:200 the dude from Qualcomm whose name escapes me (sorry), says that the neural network IP blocks are highly scalable because they have to support every possible performance requirement. He also says that they have 4 dedicated AI accelerators and he says a little later that these accelerators are what allows them to reach Level 3-4.
Now the other fascinating things is that that he begins to talk about the the collaboration between BMW and Qualcomm in developing Snapdragon Ride. Qualcomm and BMW jointly own the IP and it sounds like after the launch in 2025, Qualcomm will then fully own the IP (have I got this right?) and they will be able to scale it up to other OEM's.
Check out the slide from the video which shows logo's from all the sensor providers. Yes, I highlighted Valeo to make it a little easier for everyone.
Then when the guy from BMW came on it occurred to me that the “Neue Klasse” platform is actually the Snapdragon Ride platform, or visa-versa, if that makes sense. And then I started going crossed-eyed because I was trying to work out what the heck was going on. And then I remembered the Valeo, Qualcomm, BMW collaboration on the “Neue Klasse” platform (see below). And I got really excited becase all of the peices of the jigsaw were falling into place.
But then the whistle blew telling me it was "smoko" and I had to down tools and join everyone else in the canteen.

Well done with all your research @Bravo!
If….. If Qualcomm are including Akida nodes in their vehicle platform with Valeo then that’s my retirement completely sorted!
I think Qualcomm, like Renesas would prefer their own products such as the Qualcomm neural processing SDK for AI to improve profit margins however efficiency and power saving scales of magnitude Mercedes claim may be too good to pass up.
I’m don’t have enough technical understanding to know if their SDK would replace Akida or assist Akida’s implementation as I think their SDK is software as their website says it supports numerous Snapdragon CPUs in which case they might have a use for us?
I hope we’re included in their ecosystem as that would also move us closer to finding a home in phones.
As it’s only an “IF” at this stage I wouldn’t invest purely on the likelihood where in Qualcomms platform however it would be massive cream on top to find we are!
Given the massive $$$ invested by the companies and possible returns I completely understand NDAs to obtain a competitive edge!
Anyway, great digging Bravo and thanks for sharing!

Following on from the above, The first EQS to land in Australia is the highest-performance version, hailing from and being tuned by AMG: enter the 2022 Mercedes-AMG EQS53 4MATIC Plus, to give the $328,400 machine its full name.Just throwing it out there but is it possible MB are using 2 different MBUX versions. 1 for ICE vehicles and another for EV's.

2023 Mercedes-AMG C63 S E Performance: First look
We get under the skin of Mercedes-AMG’s controversial new C63 S E Performance hybrid sports sedan at its reveal.www.carexpert.com.au
It has the bullet train screen going from A pillar to A pillar. The C-class is a mid size vehicle while the EQS is a large size vehicle which may have something to do with the different screens. But I've noticed the EV C-class vehicles have the 3 screens behind a glass between the A pillars but not in the bullet train shape. Notice the right hand drive below.

Hi @Dhm,
I went through Apples patent the other night and it does discuss neural networks however they were of the CNN type.
I would have thought if Apple were going to the trouble to patent something applicable to us they would have included SNN.
We can convert CNN but I ask if they intended using us why not include it in the patent.
So my excitement dimmed.
The matter of a Capital Raise and/or a takeover have been raised numerous times.
I will stick with my view that the world markets have at least another 15% correction to play out in this unfolding cycle, which as I
have mentioned a few times, is a healthy situation long term...as many have pointed out over the years, markets and real estate are
the two best indicators of long-term performance, ultimately outperforming all other sectors.
The younger you are, the more "Big Wednesday" waves you can ride out, because the up and down pattern will just keep repeating
over the years ahead.
I also believe that the Brainchip short-term share price will feel the pressure, it simply can't avoid it, based on a number of factors,
including some of these, possibly....
1. World Financial Instability.
2. The constant threat of a Major War breaking out in a number of hot spots globally.
3. The real threat of a nuclear situation escalating quickly.
4. The collapse of the World Monetary System.
I have informed the forum that I was told that the company currently has adequate funds, and isn't considering a Capital Raise,
though is watching the market for opportunities.
To fulfill our agreement with LDR Capital, we must raise $15 Million AUD by 31 December 2023, so it's appearing very obvious at
the present moment in a trend heading south that you wouldn't make the decision to call it now, maybe when and if we move north
of $2.00 it would be a good time to let that all play out, hence issuing around 60% less shares than based on today's share value,
factoring in also the discount that we give LDR Capital at the time.
Just trying to keep things "real"......
Definitely 100% backing Brainchip to succeed, and if our company doesn't, be assured, no other company in this space will either.
Purely my opinion......right or wrong, it's just an opinion.

Gee Tech. Another gloomy downbeat post.
Forgive me. Don’t think I am picking on you. But…….,, some could think that your account has been hacked by Shareman. Or. Instead of the self proclaimed close friend of Brainchip staff, the insider, the man who is in the know, the drop in visitor for a coffee with the key personnel. You may be just an ordinary Joe Blo like the rest of us and have no free king idea!
You have come out recently with some doom and gloom shit. Gee. Even for someone who had some idea of what’s going on. You were saying no income this side of 2023. Then BRN comes out with licence income from Megachips. Product sales and engineering fees. Whaaat. Income. No he said.
Cmon man. Get of the grass and mix it with the people who are doing the hard yards. Stop guessing and making out like you know.
Ps. LDR. I think you of all people know it is LDA.

I don't think the recession will really stop the shift of new products comming out. I see that sales may be lower compared to a vibrant economy. I'm confident merc BMW and many more will continue to innovate they need to be the front runner. So sales will increase maybe not as fast but compared to our current ones it will be a big difference.
I really think people are too gloomy on the economic front it's sad but wars create debt and stimulate the economy it's a know factor. It's only the people common people that suffer. The war was senseless I'm still shocked that it started. Though I think it will end up creating a new type of government in Russia eventually.

I believe many not pointing fingers, are trying to get in cheaper. It's human nature right they can buy more shares why not.Some people should keep it real and admit they've sold shares and are looking to get back in cheaper, or are just looking to buy cheaper shares..
Couldn't be more bloody obvious if ya tried @TECH..
The problem will only surface when everyone wants to buy back. You can see when just a few buyers are buying then the alogs run the price very fast.
There are not too many shares for sale really any more just they are being bought buy institutions.
My thought is that institutions missed out on the early days of BRN and now see it for what it is and are trying to get a piece of the pie.
All I know it takes less volume to raise the price 10 cents then to drop it 10 cents. That said one day I hope to be holding my brn with price fluctuation of a dollar lol.

The shorters are providing plenty of opportunities, for anyone wanting to buy shares..
They're practically throwing them away, as if they paid nothing for them at all..

14.10 top right picture te good ol words SENSOR FUSION
39.31 PLC my flavor of the month letters
41.47 Ola Kallenius Mercedes Benz
42.15 (i wrote yes yes yes) though now i can't remember why, must have been having a yes moment.
42.49 The digital cockpit
47.45 Gen4 occupant monitoring
53.00 Amazon (one of my loves)
53.55 Ride Platform (I like it alot)
57.05 top right again Sensor fusion
59.55 was something cause i wrote the time
1.01 Valeo -Sensors
1.03.10 The speaker is clearly heard saying "When we partnered with Valeo '
1.04.05 Volvo, Mercedes,GM, Vw
1.09 Super compute (i like too)
1.09 Sensor Fusion
1.10.40 High performance compute at the edge on low power, !!!!!
1.10.46 gulps lost is words saying ahhh and moves on quickly (Ff thinks mumbled word was envelope, i think it was AKIDA
Now with my rosary beads on hand yes im praying but quietly confident that at the edge, low power is us. And the words Sensor fusion is no co-incidence when our top guy said remember the words Sensor fusion. So digest the above overtime i did with the scribbled notes and who's with me?

1.10.46 low power on the edge compute was “envelope” sorry. What he did say was we will here more on this at CES. So. Hopefully a big reveal of Akida Jan 5 2023. Don’t think I can wait that long. I prefer to just think that it’s a given now that Mercedes has announced they will be using Snapdragon in the digital cockpit. Edit.

When I read all the speculation regarding links to customers or concerns that Brainchip may have been replaced by another player on a known automotive project I remember the following:
1. AKIDA TM & IP are processor agnostic - meaning they can work with Nvidia, ARM or Qualcomm processors and any RISC-V;
2. AKIDA TM & IP are sensor agnostic - meaning every type of sensor from Cameras, DVS, LiDAR, Radar & Ultrasonics used in automotive applications;
3. The CEO Sean Hehir said the following at the AGM:
“When I started to evaluate joining BrainChip I started with the technology. Being a Silicon Valley based executive I had easy access to some of the world’s best technical minds who I engaged to evaluate the core technology. The overwhelming feedback was the technology is visionary in its design, unparalleled in flexibility, and transformative in performance.
As the engagement progressed, I met with many of the core team members and concluded that I had never met a more talented, dedicated, and focused group of individuals in all my years in the technology business.”
4. Mercedes Benz are still listed on Brainchips website as trusting Brainchip and are on record as describing Brainchip as the artificial intelligence experts and AKIDA as offering up to 10 times better performance than competitor solutions;
5. On NVISO’s presentation it shows AKIDA offering at least ten times better performance on fps than Jetson Nano 1000 -v- 100;
6. Both ARM and SiFive have partnered with Brainchip since the Mercedes Benz reveal and confirm the Brainchip claim that AKIDA is processor agnostic;
7. The CEO Sean Hehir stated in a presentation that they continue to work with Mercedes Benz and in the most recent presentations this month Mercedes Benz still features.
8. Brainchip has partnered with Prophesee and AKIDA TM & IP have been confirmed as agnostic;
9. Brainchip announced Valeo as an EAP customer in 2020 and continues to state on the website that they are trusted by Valeo and Valeo also continues to appear in slides at Brainchip presentations;
10. Sensor Fusion is integral to the Mercedes’ Benz multi sensor redundancy approach to safe autonomy at highway speeds and AKIDA TM & IP offers this opportunity as it can process cameras, DVS, Radar, LiDAR and Ultrasonics;
So just as I said to @MC🐠 a couple of years ago it continues to be the case that I see dots joining Brainchip and its AKIDA TM & IP under every rock, behind every door and under every bed in the automotive industry and why would I not when it is “visionary in its design, unparalleled in flexibility, and transformative in performance.”
