I'M BACK. long story and i have so much catching up to do. But all is well now and I'm back If someone can summarise in a nutshell what i missed
Just in case you missed it.

Why, when I look at Marks profile pic do I get a Zoolander vibe...Hi Jesse,

Laguna Hills, Calif. – June 14, 2022 – BrainChip Holdings Ltd (ASX: BRN, OTCQX: BRCHF, ADR: BCHPY), the world’s first commercial producer of neuromorphic AI IP, and Prophesee, the inventor of the world’s most advanced neuromorphic vision systems, today announced a technology partnership that delivers next-generation platforms for OEMs looking to integrate event-based vision systems with high levels of AI performance coupled with ultra-low power technologies.
...
“We’ve successfully ported the data from Prophesee’s neuromorphic-based camera sensor to process inference on Akida with impressive performance,” said Anil Mankar, Co-Founder and CDO of BrainChip. “This combination of intelligent vision sensors with Akida’s ability to process data with unparalleled efficiency, precision and economy of energy at the point of acquisition truly advances state-of-the-art AI enablement and offers manufacturers a ready-to-implement solution.”
“By combining our Metavision solution with Akida-based IP, we are better able to deliver a complete high-performance and ultra-low power solution to OEMs looking to leverage edge-based visual technologies as part of their product offerings, said Luca Verre, CEO and co-founder of Prophesee.”
Back in 2021, Qualcomm thought their new Snapdragon would include Nuvia/ARM refinements:

Qualcomm prophesizes 2023 as the rebirth of PC Snapdragon chips
Nuvia CPUs and desktop gaming graphics? Qualcomm thinks its future is bright.
By Mark Hachman
Senior Editor, PCWorld NOV 16, 2021 10:30 AM PST
Qualcomm processors for PCs enhanced by the company’s Nuvia design team will sample in 2022 for devices shipping in 2023, Qualcomm executives said Tuesday. The company also boldly pledged to offer Adreno graphics that could compete with desktop PCs.
At the company’s 2021 investor day in New York, Dr. James Thompson, chief technology officer at Qualcomm, offered an overview of the company’s technology roadmap in several areas. A key focus, naturally, will be how and when Qualcomm’s Snapdragon processors will integrate the Nuvia design team, an Arm CPU developer that Qualcomm acquired in January.
Processor development takes time, however, and that integration won’t happen immediately. “They’re pretty far along at this point,” Thompson said, presumably talking about the first Snapdragon processors featuring Nuvia technology. “We’ll be sampling a product nine months from now, or something like that.”
...
Thompson also claimed that the company’s graphics technology was on pace to improve, too. In terms of the Adreno integrated graphics core onboard the Snapdragon chips, Qualcomm performs somewhat better against the competition than its CPUs at present—somewhere between an 8th-gen and a 10th-gen Intel Core processor, when measured by the 3DMark “Night Raid” benchmark.
Thompson, though, said that Qualcomm could do better. “I just want to make it clear that our graphics will scale up to desktop-style gaming capabilities,” he told investors. He didn’t elaborate further.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adreno
Adreno (an anagram of AMD's graphic card brand Radeon), was originally developed by ATI Technologies and sold to Qualcomm in 2009 for $65M,[1][2] and was used in their mobile chipset products. Early Adreno models included the Adreno 100 and 110, which had 2D graphics acceleration and limited multimedia capabilities. At the time, 3D graphics on mobile platforms were commonly handled using software-based rendering engines, which limited their performance. With growing demand for more advanced multimedia and 3D graphics capabilities, Qualcomm licensed the Imageon IP from AMD, in order to add hardware-accelerated 3D capabilities to their mobile products.[3] Further collaboration with AMD resulted in the development of the Adreno 200, originally named the AMD Z430, based on the R400[4] architecture used in the Xenos GPU of the Xbox 360 video game console[5] and released in 2008, which was integrated into the first Snapdragon SoC. In January 2009, AMD sold their entire Imageon handheld device graphics division to Qualcomm.[6]
So Qualcomm use an in-house graphics core, which was initially designed by Imhotep.
Given Qualcomm's legal bust-up with ARM, I would think they would be scrambling to cover their embarrassment, and it's possible that Prophesee may be the link to Akida.

I’m off work with an injured back at the moment so I have a bit of time up my sleeve.
I‘m watching the rest of the Qualcomm video. It gets interesting at the 50.12 mark when he starts talking about ”Always on” reading just 1’s and zeros and neural network. He talks about support for third party neural network experiences.

Yes correct 100%. Long way for full brain an a chip which will take few years of course and BrainChip already started paving this way already and been already successful. This been confirmed by many industry leaders and also we are 3 years min. Ahead them!!. But that doesn’t mean Valeo and MB are not using already our Akida technology which contains fraction of brain in many industries like Automotive, IoT, medical, robotics, industrial.Hi JB
It's great that Mercedes fills you with confidence!
For what it's worth, I used Markus Schafer's comments regarding there being 'a long way to go' for context as it creates the context for Heinrich Gotzig's response "Thanks a lot for this very interesting article. I can confirm that it is a long way to go but very promising."
These comments don't diminish Valeo's progress in commercialising a product containing akida. They simply confirm that current neuromorphic technologies still have a long way to being a 'brain on a chip' that is comparable to the human brain which contains 100 billion neurons operating at 20 watts of power.
Cheers!

I’m hoping that’s my early retirement right there!
The use case example he gave walked and quacked like a duck.
@Diogenese
Edit: of course it is just speculation. Until there is word from the company to confirm it then it’s just wild theories from an anonymous Brainchip investor who has a bias. Given there was an opportunity to promote the new technology during this presentation and Brainchip wasn’t mentioned then either they’re using their own technology or want to keep the magic secret to themselves!
So long as the money shows up in the quarterly I’m now fazed how it gets there!
But I just quit my job… what the….Of course a simple Google search revealed Qualcomm has it’s own Neural Software:

I think what they have been using previously is software based CNN's. I'm in the camp that says this looks like AKIDA. If its not then there may be patent infringements here!!! Always on, reacts only to change events, super low power consumption, AI processor shown in the block diagram, and the camera module is from our partner Prophesee.........this definitely walks like a duck.........Of course a simple Google search revealed Qualcomm has it’s own Neural Software:
