Consider the context before you decide on how the statement impacts on your confidence in Valeo.
As per Markus' post on LinkedIn:
"The idea is not new, but trying to “put a brain on a chip” is a mammoth task. To put it into figures: the human brain has 86-100 billion neurons operating on around 20 watts. Current neural chips from leading developers such as BrainChip and Intel Corporation contain around 1 million neurons and consume roughly 1 watt of power."
Brainchip's akida is what many consider 'science fiction', yet it's 1 million neurons operating at 1 watt of power is only 0.001% of the human brain's 100 billion neurons.
There is still a long way to go in order to "put a
human brain on a chip".
The good news though, Brainchip is one of the 'leading developers'.
Call me a glass-half-full kind of guy.
Edit: I'd like to expand on the glass-half-full comment.
Another way to think of Markus' post is as follows:
The Chief Technology Officer of Mercedes, a company at the cutting edge of automotive technology development, has just told you in plain written english that our small little 'meme-stock' start-up from modest beginnings here in Perth is rubbing shoulders with Intel, one of the worlds biggest technology company's, when it comes to the development and leadership in the field of neural chips.
If that doesn't fill you with confidence, I don't know what will.
