Great find generously shared.
To assist I will add the following extract which makes clear that Accenture have most likely been testing either Loihi 2 or AKIDA technology as referenced at page 6:
“Some people approximate derivatives of spikes in order to use backpropagation (like SynSense) and some use another technique called spike timing dependent plasticity (STDP), which is closer to how biological brains function. STDP, however, is less mature as a technology (BrainChip uses this method for one–shot learning at the edge)”
Cars That Think Like You - EETimes By Sally Ward-Foxton 07.22.2022 Car makers are checking out neuromorphic technology to implement AI–powered features such as keyword spotting, driver attention, and passenger behavior monitoring. Imitating biological brain processes is alluring because it...

We know that SynSense has been working with BMW and Prophesee but as this extract from an article promoted by SynSense on its website makes clear it does not use STDP.
It also confirms what we know that Brainchip uses STDP but what it does not mention is that Brainchip owns the IP for the STDP based JAST Learning Rules which they converted from a license to full ownership in the first half of 2023 under the leadership of the CEO Sean Hehir. Some think this was a stroke of commercial brilliance.
What some might not know is that when Peter van der Made bought the original license CERCO had been discussing terms with Intel and Peter van der Made slipped in underneath and walked away with the prize.
So while Mike Davies and Intel use a form of STDP they are at a significant disadvantage absent the right to use the JAST Learning Rules.
If the vehicle manufacturer is Honda we know Valeo is involved so Brainchip has feet on the ground so to speak.
If Mercedes Benz is the vehicle manufacturer it cannot be anyone else unless this testing by Accenture was about year or so before the CES 2022 EQXX reveal when Intel was still working with Mercedes Benz before they switched to Brainchip.
The Accenture Brainchip podcast is going to be very interesting.
