A very big call to cancel this one when Valeo are supplying the Lidar and Ultrasonics used by Honda for its Level 3 ADAS in their top of the range vehicle.
I suppose they could have thrown all that knowledge and technology out the window for this project but not sure what the reasoning behind that move would be.
My opinion is that it is too early to call particularly with the Prophesee Sony partnership also in the public domain.
It would be Sony saying to Honda and Prophesee I don’t care what you guys, Mercedes Benz and Valeo think we have an AKIDA allergy and our Engineers have advised us to have no contact whatsoever regardless of how advanced and like Science Fiction it might be.

AKIDA BALLISTA
A thought bubble which I think is supported by logic and known facts.
The Thought:
Brainchip AKIDA technology has already cracked automotive.
The facts.
Socionext is presenting AKIDA technology for automotive use.
Renesas is presenting AKIDA technology for automotive use - 3rd largest supplier of MCU’s to automotive in the World.
VVDN is presenting AKIDA technology for automotive use.
ARM presents AKIDA technology for just about everything including automotive.
Nviso presents AKIDA technology for automotive use.
Brainchip AKIDA technology is trusted by Mercedes Benz.
Brainchip AKIDA technology is trusted by Valeo and the original EAP was to explore use cases in ADAS and AV.
FORD continues to be an ASX announced customer for automotive.
EDGE IMPULSE supports AKIDA FOMO which has an in cabin automotive use case for driver fatigue and attention monitoring.
Brainchip has consistently stated in presentations for years now that they are working with automotive OEM’s and vehicle manufacturers.
NASA & DARPA approved firms are working with AKIDA technology for radar guidance, cognitive communications and autonomous vehicle navigation all of which are extreme technology use cases that could scale well into automotive on Earth.
Prophesee event based sensors are enhanced by AKIDA technology and use cases for these sensors are most certainly shown by Prophesee as being in automotive ADAS.
The issue for every Electric Vehicle now and in the future will always be battery life and range. Range is increased the more of the battery life that can be reserved for the driving wheels. AKIDA out competes GPUs on power, and price by factors before you get to its unique one shot learning and real time performance so it presents an overly compelling argument for adoption in ADAS and sensors in automotive described by Edge Impulse as Science Fiction.
If you do not think the above is sufficient to justify the ‘Thought’ then please present the opposing facts for consideration.

AKIDA BALLISTA
The Opposing Facts are whatever was in Valeos and Sonys presentations today, there were zero indications they are using or intend to use Akida and thus the market speaks. Let us hope that the upcoming partner’s’ presentations wow the market enough to throw egg on today’s price action.
