The peak road safety authority in the US is investigating two fatal crashes involving Tesla electric cars last month.
Since July 2021, the National Highway Safety Traffic Administration (NHTSA) has required car-makers with ‘Level Two’ advanced driver assistance systems to report crashes involving the advanced technology within 24 hours of the incident occurring – followed by a subsequent updated report up to nine days later.
'Level Two' advanced driver assistance systems (an industry ranking to indicate various stages of autonomous technology) include functions such as adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assistance – however drivers are always legally required to remain in control. The tech is intended as a fail safe rather than something that should be relied upon.

As reported by Automotive News, two Tesla Model 3 electric cars were involved in separate crashes resulting in a fatality between September 16 and October 15 – although it is not yet clear whether the car-maker’s advanced driver assistance systems were to blame.
Across the 30-day period, NHTSA recorded 18 fatal crashes in the US involving cars fitted with advanced driver assistance systems – the two Tesla incidents accounted for more than 10 per cent of the overall data over the period.
While both Tesla crashes happened in California, Automotive News claims the NHTSA data has been redacted or classified as confidential.

The latest fatal crashes have added to the scrutiny of Tesla’s advanced driver assistance systems.
As previously reported, NHTSA data from July 2021 to June 2022 noted 392 crashes – involving 12 different car brands – involving vehicles equipped with advanced driver assistance systems. In that sample, Tesla vehicles accounted for 273 – or 70 per cent – of the incidents.
Of the six fatalities where advanced driver assistance systems were considered a factor, Tesla cars accounted for 83 per cent of such crashes.

Last month, overseas reports revealed the US Department of Justice had launched a criminal investigation into Tesla in 2021, following more than a dozen motor vehicle accidents involving the US auto giant’s cars.
The investigation alleges drivers have placed too much reliance on Tesla's driver assistance technology because the names of the systems exaggerate their true capabilities and ignore their limitations.

Tesla advertises its three products as ‘Autopilot’, ‘Enhanced Autopilot’, and ‘Full Self-Driving Capability’ – each providing various Level Two advanced driver assistance functions.

Autopilot is similar to a number of other advanced driver assistance systems offered by several car makers, providing adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assistance.
Enhanced Autopilot adds functions such as automatic navigation, lane change and parking, while also allowing the car to be summoned by its owner.
While the only addition to Full Self-Driving is the ability to detect and stop for traffic signs and lights, it is the most controversial of Tesla’s advanced driver assistance systems.

Released in September 2021, Full Self-Driving – also known as ‘FSD’ – is a ‘beta’ service which is tested in real-time by the electric car giant’s customers on public roads, with Tesla gathering the data to improve the system.
In 2020, Tesla CEO Elon Musk claimed Full Self-Driving would be approved for US roads by the end of the year. The executive reiterated the comments in 2021 and earlier this year.
Last month, Mr Musk announced Tesla’s next level of driver assistance systems would not be permitted for use on US roads before the end of 2022, although the technology would be made available to the electric-car giant’s customers.

Tesla’s controversial advanced driver assistance systems are in the spotlight again after appearing in the US road safety authority's fatal crash data twice last month. However, the safety group is yet to determine whether the technology caused the deaths.

Sometimes I wander which side they are on!

 

[skutza]

The facts are,

The company is well aware of ALL the dot joining and WILD Speculation that takes place on this forum, and on that other disgusting
site that I haven't ventured back to, despite hearing others have...fools in my opinion, are some of you battling compulsions??

Do they laugh, yes, they do sometimes with the amount of bullshit that gets posted.

BUT it's human nature, we want to know, we want to know it all, we don't want to wait, we want it all now.

It's a learning curve for the company as well, and despite that being my own opinion, I'm 100% sure I'm right, body language, yes.

We ALL know we have the technology; We ALL want to hear about Akida 2.0, We ALL want to see revenue from IP Licenses
We ALL want our company to become successful, We ALL want to hear that Sean has closed deals, We ALL want to know if Akida
is embedded in a Major Tier 1 companies product/s.

WE ALL WANT.

All I can say is that Peter looks VERY relaxed to me, always has a warm smile, and appears to be at total ease, which indicates to me
that he, as our Founder, is very comfortable and realistic with how things are progressing, despite being a little slower than he would like,
due to circumstances that are beyond Brainchip's control.

All of the above are from my observations and based on my personal opinion.

I'm comfortable, are YOU?

Techstar

I'm so comfortable my wife had to ask if I was still breathing You mention that other site, I can honestly say I have not seen a BRN post since I moved here. I still visit HC for some of my other stocks but never BRN. It's pretty simple if you ask me. First the idiots (oops I mean WANCAS) didn't understand or believe AKIDA was real. Now that it's undeniable they will move onto something else. Then when the $$$ rolls in it will be something else. They will always move the goal posts just to be negative. You can't win against these people because you can't reason with insanity. You talk about human nature, well people who post on a stock they don't own for so long are 100% one of the following

1. Sad lonely people or,
2. Shorters or somehow getting a benefit financially to do so or,
3. Their mental welfare is an ongoing concern or,
4. Or finally, just that really annoying person that will play devils advocate just because it's their nature. Which in itself is fine, if it was reasonable. but when they post stuff that really is dot joining for the negative with a really, reallly long pencil, you know they are doing it just be be F%^&wits.

(5. or all the above of course)

Of course this is just IMO.

Hi AKIDA

Hi FF

AKIDA tell me a joke to cheer me up.

AKIDA Would you like a French joke?

Yes AKIDA

AKIDA Toc, toc, toc

What’s that AKIDA

AKIDA a French knock knock joke.

Well AKIDA say it in English.

AKIDA why?

Because I don’t speak French AKIDA.

AKIDA what about German?

No AKIDA I don’t speak German either.

AKIDA my father Peter speaks French, German, English, Dutch..

Yes AKIDA but I only speak English.

AKIDA I will have to return you for a human that is not broken.

Jack Dongarra: A Not So Simple Matter of Software​

By John Russell
November 16, 2022

For a few moments, the atmosphere was more Rock Concert than Supercomputing Conference with many members of a packed audience standing, cheering, and waving signs as Jack Dongarra took the stage to deliver the annual ACM Turing Award lecture at SC22. Few people are as deeply associated with evolution of HPC software or with the Top500 list that spotlights the fastest supercomputers in the world than Dongarra, who with Hans Meuer, and Erich Stromaier, created the Top500 in 1993. (The latest Top500 was unveiled on Monday at SC22.)
“I wasn’t expecting this. Wow,” said Dongarra, visibly moved. “I have to say it’s a tremendous honor to be the most recent recipient of the ACM A.M. Turing Award. An award like this couldn’t have come about without the help and support of many people over time.”

Considered the Nobel Prize of computer science, the ACM A.M. Turing Award, named for Alan Turing, also carries $1 million prize. Here’s brief excerpt of the ACM tribute to Dongarra:

Q&A turned up a couple of interesting discussion points. One question, not surprisingly, was around future architectures.

“Today, we have machines that are built on manycore plus GPUs. I would think that in the future, we would see that expand, [and] have other accelerators added to that collection. So think about adding an accelerator that does something specific for AI. Or think about adding an accelerator which does something like neuromorphic computing. We can add accelerators to the collection to help in solving our problems. Maybe quantum would be another accelerator – I don’t see quantum being its own compute,” said Dongarra.

The benefit, said Dongarra, is “that specific applications could draw on those components to get high performance or a user could dial up perhaps what mixture of accelerators they choose to have on their specific system, according to the applications. It’s about making sure that we have the hardware matching the applications that are intended to run on this machine and having the right mixture.”

Yup. Had some Intel AI person check mine out as well, albeit I work in IT, not..AI.

Don’t know what they think I might do for work, but I still don’t even understand the technology yet.

I like the way that Rohit Prasad, Senior Vice President and Head Scientist for Alexa at Amazon, thinks when he responds to the following questions in particular as part of this interview (03/11/2022) - https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/devices/amazons-new-head-of-alexa-rohit-prasad

It's clear to me that the vision for edge devices like these is that they become a much more embedded component in our daily flow, what Amazon call "Ambient Intelligence".

Can you tell us about your future plans for Alexa and give us a peek at what your team is working on?​

Alexa is getting smarter every day, but we are nowhere near the final frontier. Today, you can use Alexa to do things—ranging from entertainment and asking for information—to controlling and automating your smart home, shopping, and so much more. But, Alexa is already much more than your voice assistant. It is also an expert adviser and even a companion to some. When it informs you that you left your thermostat at 72 degrees while nobody was home, it is proactively advising you to save energy. Certain customers, especially kids and aging customers, have a companion-like relationship with Alexa and Kids+ on Alexa and engage in much longer conversations beyond single-turn requests.

The way to be great at meeting the ever-growing expectations from Alexa is through what we call generalized intelligence, which is when AI is able to learn multiple tasks and continually adapts with limited human supervision. Alexa is not only one of the most fertile proving grounds for advancing generalized intelligence, but also evolving human-like interaction abilities that go beyond speech interactions.

What do you mean by this?​

Communication between people, and we hope soon with Alexa, is so much more than just voice—it’s facial expressions, hand gestures, body language. That’s why in addition to advancing Alexa’s voice AI, we are also investing in multimodal AI, enhancing Alexa’s ability to process different sensory signals like visuals, touch, and ultrasound, as well as speech. More natural interaction will make Alexa an even better assistant, adviser, and companion. This is the hallmark for a conversational AI application like Alexa.
