Hi @Diogenese
I had thought that the benchmarking against GPUs and accelerators may have been carried out by Edge Impulse or MegaChips but your argument pointing to Mercedes Benz makes greater sense. We know Mercedes Benz had been working with Intel early 2021 and of course Nvidia and also Qualcomm so plenty of GPUs and accelerators available for testing/benchmarking against AKIDA.
My opinion only DYOR

AKIDA BALLISTA

something from Mercedes again:
Keeping a safe following distance, maintaining a certain speed or lane, and warning of possible side collisions or crossing pedestrians – our driving assistance systems can help you master a wide variety of situations.
As an Active Safety Engineer, Katharina Kupferschmid works on the development of all these intelligent systems. In doing so, it is important for her to understand how accidents occur and what protective systems could have prevented them. In this way, the analysis of real traffic accidents forms the basis for developing innovative #safety technologies and ever more efficient systems.
Because of dedicated employees like Katharina, #MercedesBenz earned a name for itself as a safety pioneer − a reputation it still enjoys today and will retain in the future!
Which driver assistance system would you never want to go without again?

In the Edge Impulse presentation, they start presenting about Brainchip at the 25.30 minute mark and say the same thing Dio. Akida is being compared to GPU's and outperforming them. They put up a comparison chart if anyone hasn't seen it yet.

Tesla says it is adding radar in its cars next month amid self-driving suite concerns
Tesla told the FCC that it plans to market a new radar starting next month. The move raises even more concerns about potentially needed updates to its hardware suite to achieve the promised self-driving capability.Since 2016, Tesla has claimed that all its vehicles produced going forward have “all the needed hardware” to become self-driving with future software updates.
It turned out not to be true.
... bla bla bla
That’s why it was surprising earlier this year when we reported on Tesla filing with the FCC to use a new radar in its vehicles. The FCC had granted a confidential treatment to Tesla in order not to release the details of the new radar.
Those confidential treatments are generally good for six months, and it was coming up tomorrow, but Tesla has filed an extension:

Bravo
If ARM was an arm, BRN would be its biceps💪!
Agreed Funky. I found the podcast very underwhelming unfortunately. i thought it was confusing because Sally wasn’t enthusiastic at all, even going so far as to suggest that analogue is more power efficient. Sorry to say this but I found it very disappointing.

Rene Haas• 1.Chief Executive Officer, Arm17 Min.
An amazing day in Arizona attending the ceremony around the first tool-in for the new TSMC fab. This facility will be producing some of the most advanced chips in the industry on leading edge nodes creating jobs for scores of people in the Phoenix area. This could not be done without the amazing work of our incredible ecosystem as a who's who attended the event, led by President Biden and other tech luminaries. (including Synopsys own Deirdre Hanford and our Drew Henry!)
Cannot wait to see the first products roll off the production line in a year of so, the first ones most certainly #onarm!

Meeting with Luca Verre (ECL 2005), Co-founder and CEO of Prophesee
The career of a very international Centralian

PROPHESEE, a company specializing in industrial vision, has just made the headlines with a fundraising of €50 million. Prophesee is the inventor of the world's most advanced neuromorphic vision systems and is now "Europe's best-funded fabless semiconductor startup".
We met its co-founder and CEO, Luca Verre, Lyon Centralien from the class of 2005.
Can you summarize your academic background for us?
I am Italian by origin and in 2005 I obtained a double degree: Master of Science in physics, electronics and industrial engineering from the Politecnico di Milano - and an engineering degree from the Ecole Centrale de Lyon, with a specialization in electronics . After starting my career in industry, I completed this course in 2013-2014 with an MBA from INSEAD.
What memories do you have of your studies at the École Centrale de Lyon?
I'm keeping a very good memory of it. First, because the classes were much smaller than at the Politecnico in Milan, which now has more than 35,000 students. And I appreciated the generalist approach of the School with courses in economics or mechanical engineering for example, which opened me up to other specialities. I remember very well that mechanics class where we were asked to disassemble and reassemble an engine, an exercise far removed from electronics... And then the extraordinary social life on campus, those Thursday evenings when I was the cook on my floor! And enriching exchanges with foreign students, from China, Brazil or elsewhere. These are experiences of openness to professions and cultures that have served me throughout the rest of my career.
What positions did you hold before creating Prophesee in 2014?
I first worked at Schneider Electric, in Sophia Antipolis, then in Japan where I spent 4 years in marketing positions. This position in Japan, I owe it in part to the ECL - because the School had allowed me to take Japanese lessons with a high quality teacher, Ms. Shimamori, author of reference books. And it was in Japan that I completed my 2nd year internship. After the Far East, I returned to Europe, to Germany first to take care of business development and then to Paris. In 2013, I decided to take a sabbatical year to take courses at INSEAD and it was there that I met my future partner, Director of Research at the Institut de la Vision.
What were the company's goals when it was founded?
We established the company in February 2014 to design an artificial model of the biological retina and thereby advance retinal implant technology. We made a first fundraising in order to develop innovative neuromorphic sensors, which are based on capturing changes in the image - rather than on acquiring the entire image. This is what we call Event-Based Vision systems for our vision systems.
How did Prophesee develop?
We started with collaborations with medical companies like Pixium Vision or GenSight Biologics to pursue our initial ambition to restore vision to the visually impaired. But we quickly perceived the potential of our solutions in other areas: Firstly, industry where our technology supports measurement, counting or inspection applications in sectors such as agri-food, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing , etc. But also the autonomous car for driving assistance systems – and mobile telephony where our solutions must make it possible to improve the shots of conventional sensors for moving subjects (“motion blur”). Finally, virtual reality and augmented reality where our products are used for eye tracking. With Prophesee, we have raised more than €100m to date and we have just welcomed Xiaomi among our investors. We are very confident in the prospects of the company, experts in metavision for machines.
What advice would you give to a young engineer today?
Technologies are constantly evolving and you have to be attentive. The autonomous car or the metaverse are areas that will experience exciting developments. The situation has changed a lot since the days when junior engineers dreamed of joining a large group. For young engineers, they need to be open to risks. Start-ups can offer them great opportunities. Responsibility is taken on more quickly and these young companies integrate criteria of impact on daily life. These are essential elements to take into account to guide your career.

I don't agree with the criticism of the SW-F podcast.
One bit which seems to have drawn a lot of angst starts just before 13 minutes, and my Pitmans is non-existent, but this is the gist:
"There is a debate about how close should we copy the brain – limits of Silicon
Should we directly copy what happens in the brain?
I think there are several companies including Brainchip that are making a good go of it
Products that work and advantages to be had by using spiking architecture
Not everyone is as far along as Brainchip there are a few other in spiking space
Different architectures ASIC? Like BrainChip or Analog even more power can be saved if you can do it that way. Some of these are unanswered questions.
Training challenges to be ironed out
Event based processors ..."
This seems like a fair summation to me. Analog can be more power efficient because they only need a couple of components for a synapse. However the tech has other problems such as repeatability of manufacture which causes variations in spike amplitude (not a problem with digital), the need for ADC (analog-to-digital converter) and possibly DAC, and analog lacks the versatility of Akida.
Another angst-generating bit was the reference to "niche" when discussing the edge which S W-F characterized as a spectrum and fragmented.
Sally was responding to Rod's lead-in:
"Let’s talk about what you believe to be some of the key drivers in this space (the edge) and some of the problems you see as needing to be addressed over the net few years", so Sally's remarks need to be considered in this context.
This podcast is a conversation and Rod Telson said "You're spot on there .. very few are flexible enough to handle voice, vision .. " Rod asked Sally to discuss the key drivers and problems to be overcome. He did not ask her to endorse Akida.

We believe in Space as humankind’s new horizon to build a better, sustainable Life on Earth. In Space, governments, institutions and companies rely on us to design, operate and deliver a whole range of satellite-based systems.
Rome, November 30, 2022 - Thales Alenia Space, joint venture between Thales (67%) and Leonardo (33%), and the European Space Agency (ESA) have signed a letter of intent to collaborate in supporting the creation of future disruptive space-based solutions in the Earth Observation domain.
Thales Alenia Space will cooperate with the ESA Φ-lab to explore innovative technologies based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and their applications to use cases of significant interest to both entities.
Artificial Intelligence and new computing paradigms like neuromorphic, quantum, and edge computing, applied to both optical and radar Earth Observation data, are a strategic area of interest for both Φ-lab and Thales Alenia Space. Key topics of the collaboration include end-to-end learning for Synthetic-Aperture Radar (SAR) data, physically-based Artificial Intelligence to extract information from SAR data and enable object detection, recognition and classification, collective intelligence and federated learning at the edge, and the use of AI and Earth Observation in immersive-reality scenarios such as Augmented and Virtual reality for satellite and mission data management.
Thales Alenia Space wins study contract to develop payload to extract Oxygen on the Moon
Bristol, February 23, 2022 – Thales Alenia Space, a joint venture between Thales (67%) and Leonardo (33%), has signed a study contract with the European Space Agency worth one million euros for a payload concept to extract oxygen from Moon rock.
This contract award is incredibly exciting. The adaption of processes and tools to the space environment, many of which we take for granted on Earth, will be critical in many areas of our future. I am proud that our dedicated teams will be leading this study together with our valued partners AVS, Metalysis, Open University and Redwire Space Europe to solve the complex challenge of creating oxygen to sustain life on the lunar surface.

I agree. I was also disappointed by the choice of guest. How good were the early podcasts with the likes of Dell and Arm? Essentially, they were announcements that we were working with them in some capacity. In the case of ARM, it has been proven to be correct. The transformer Easter egg was nice, but a hint of a potential partnership is what I would like to see.

Hi Sirod69,
I've always been impressed by Rob, he is a born salesman and a very good communicator. He always displays enthusiasm and confidence but to me, there is something a little "next level" about him in the clip you posted. I get the sense you can add belief in to that list. Saying you have the best product is one thing, knowing it is something else.
