Don't forget about SiFive and their partners!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
Although below is one area (automotive), with recent news of android supporting risc-v support... I am just amazed... now I just sit back and wait for the financials... https://www.xda-developers.com/google-officially-supports-risc-v/
Also just a reminder on below, which I've shared previously when I reached out to SiFive to let them know they forgot to list us in the partners section and didn't list us under automotive. Below was the response I got. I also confirmed with them whether I am allowed to share below which they confirmed (during last year).
"Reached out to some of the leadership here and got this reply:
"We focused on OS, SW & EDA Tools partners at the launch. There’s no specific work being done with Brainchip for automotive, but the combination of SiFive Automotive processors + Brainchip neuromorphic NN would make perfect sense there.""
