Thanks @Falling Knife, you expressed exactly what I was trying to say in my poorly worded post earlier.MB are top of the class and the delivery of this presentation is testamant to that
MB OS presentation 23/Feb/2023
Just a thought about something I pulled from the presentation
@ 6:45 When talking about the MB Security profile of a customer states that the 'My profile' is being stored into the cloud, so when I step into my car it recognizes me…..……
As FF poor logic proposed, AKIDA would be presumed not to be fully implemented in this functionality for MB at this stage.
But at 13:35
MB will be offering a sneak preview of All new E Class which is a precursor of the MB.OS in the infotainment domain
'This is the first time in history MB has programed the complete software for the MB OS'
It will be launched later this year and 'Markus will be offering insight into what we will actually offer in the near future'.
'Super computer technology will be offered in every single Mercedes going forward. MB.OS 1.0 onward'
'The eyes and ears/ sensors of the car, the 'base sensor set' even in the entry vehicle, will be significantly more comprehensive than what you can buy in the S class today'. (clip showing the E Class is shown at 1:16:50)
The MB.OS 1.0 onward, IMO, is when the neuromorphic component will be fully implemented.
AKIDA will then allow the MB Security profile mentioned ealier above to be cloud free.
Security and safety is one of the most important factors underpinning all this functionality.
If not MB would follow the bad example Tesla has offered the world - its automated driving capabilites are not safe, cant be trusted and can kill.
MB are progressively implementing aspects of the Neuromorphic capability as the safety net expands following testing.
They can’t turn it all on at once as it is all so new.
In order for the systems and partnerships they have developed with other companies to work in unison, the tech they have chosen needs to be Ubiquitous. Therefore only when all the companies align with this new paradigm of computing can everything work securely and safely.
NVIDIA, GOOGLE, ZYNC are all invited to work with MB to create the infrastructure to make this all happen. They all have to be in the same neuromorphic space to build the end result. Power efficenceis will not be implemented in one system and ignored in the other as an example.
The neuromorphic aspect is not ready, or its not fully tested at this stage but connections are starting to fall into place, the infotainment ‘Hey Mercedes’ or ‘Just talk’ system is an example of progressive implementation. This is part of MB's end result that MB are happy to release and talk freely about bc it has already proven to be safe and secure.
Lower speed autonomous driving is offered now, MB are so confident in this release that they have accepted total liability for the drivers whilst using it, next comes higher speed autonomous driving. The progressive approach in every functionality is obvious.
All this coding, design and the associated UX testing plus the scale of implementation of this architecture with all these partners at all levels of the MB.OS takes time. 1.8 years just for 'just talk' or 'Hey Mercedes' functionality alone.
We might see a lower share price if there is no $ in the EOY report tied up with our licensed partners but only from Cold Dead Hands will anyone get a single one of my shares.
But I believe Magnus from MB when he summarised by saying
Royalties from this collaboration of parntners will appear in the financials in due course.
- As the architect we can report that our MB.OS built project is making Excellent progress
- Our living space is already well ahead of schedule and gives us the freedom and scope offer the best personalised luxury experience.
- Our partnerships ensure we offer the best content and navigation to assit us to retain our lead in relation to autated driving.
I believe Akida is included in MB.OS 1.0 onward and therefore working directly with MB and not through an OEM.
Brainchip doesn't supply sensors, they make them smarter. With that in mind I don't think we should've expect to be named in the MB presentation.
I have 3 questions.
1. Why do we expect akida to be a component in an OEM system when MB declared they worked directly with Brainchip to develop Akida to suit their needs.
2. Is it not logical that MB have their own proprietary tech of which akida is a part of and other OEM systems connect into.
3. If MB have their own proprietary tech as 2 above, why would they disclose that to the world. It's their secret sauce after all.
