Of course once you have seen one pod you have seen them all but it is interesting that Valeo’s pod also seems to be running around a closed environment like a university campus and not doing its delivery thing in a CBD or a factory complex.

Providing we hold above the 40 5 cents low we have a possible bull set up in play. I posted on this the other day.
A bull signal will be a weekly close at or above 47.5 cents. This was the high of the last weekly bar.
The XJO 200 interestingly has the same set up and looks like getting a weekly buy signal tomorow.
The S & P 500 has completed this set up and it's currently playing out.
Since its Oct'22 lows it's played out 2 successful set ups and this one is still in play.
I will not be surprised if we see the most unexpected market bull run ever.
Summary. We are looking for a weekly close of 47.5 cents for this set up to give us a buy signal.
We have the 47.5c close.

It comes with built in slice and dice.
Just on this subject did anyone else read about all the bodies they are finding as the Colorado river dries up due to the drought. Giving all the impression of having been an organised crime disposal site.

It then got me thinking about how autonomous AKIDA powered submersibles could be used to search dams and waterways.

Luminar’s Iris lidar technology to be included in both Volvo and Mercedes cars in 2022​

Both car manufacturers plan to include Luminar sensor technology to improve safety and autonomous driving capabilities.

Luminar announced a partnership with Mercedes-Benz to accelerate the development of future highly automated driving technologies for Mercedes passenger cars. Luminar’s Iris lidar technology, which is currently being prepared for series production, is expected to improve vehicle safety and the technical capabilities of highly automated driving systems. This recent announcement follows a similar one made during a special press event during CES 2022 in earlier this month, where Volvo Cars and Luminar announced plans for the next-generation SUV, to be revealed later this year. At CES 2022, Luminar also introduced Blade-integration for commercial trucks. Blade is a fully integrated housing system for multiple Iris sensors, that was first introduced in 2021.
By including Luminar’s Iris lidar as a standard feature into the roofline of the car, the car manufacturer wants to improve safety, as well as offering more autonomous driving capabilities to assist the driver: together with this announcement of the Luminar sensor inclusion, Volvo Cars announced Ride Pilot, an add-on subscription for that same upcoming car.


Ride Pilot is an unsupervised driving capability for highways, that comes equipped with lidar hardware with Luminar’s Iris and perception from its Sentinel Solution. Sentinel is a full-stack autonomous solution for series production that combines sensor technology and software for object detection and decision making. The Swedish autonomous driving software company Zenseact worked together with Volvo and Luminar on the software and sensor technology to be included for this new capability.

Luminar’s iris sensor capabilities

Luminar’s Iris sensor is an auto-grade package for series-production programs of 10,000 to 1+ million vehicles. It features camera-like resolution greater than 300 points per square degree and high data fidelity to reliably see where objects are and what they are. Combined with software updates over the air, Iris unlocks more autonomous capabilities for a vehicle. It offers a 120 degrees FoV, a maximum range of 600 meters, a data fidelity of 1cm range precision and camera-like resolution of more than 300 points per square degree. Objects and vehicles can be detected and tracked from 250m, lane markings from 150m and road/drivable space from 80m.

Ride Pilot testing and rollout

Currently, Volvo Cars is testing autonomous driving functionalities in roads in Sweden together with Zenseact, and collecting data across Europe and the US. By the middle of this year, the company intends to begin testing on the roads in California, where the climate, traffic conditions and regulatory framework provide a favorable environment for the introduction of autonomous driving. After all necessary approvals, Volvo intends to introduce Ride Pilot in California first, before gradually rolling out in other markets and regions around the world.
Luminar’s lidar sensors will complement five radars, eight cameras and sixteen ultrasonic sensors in Volvo Car’s upcoming fully electric SUV. This standard sensor setup will provide excellent vision and perception reliability. Together with the continuous, over-the-air software rollouts, the system will ensure full redundancy and enable Volvo Cars to achieve safe autonomous driving with Ride Pilot.
From Luminars website today says 300 I could not find anything on 600 m

Came across this on Twitter last night. Awesome video showing the ability of technology to drive on the roads of london. The video speaks volume for AI to handle the massive workload in handling the data. What confuses me and probably due to my lack of IT experience is on one AI chat site i can find a link between Wayve and Akida, though trying to find the said article seems impossible..
Does anyone have any more updates, there is lots of information related to Azure Microsoft naturally...

Das Computer-Vision-System von Wayve – das „Gehirn“ des Autos – lernt durch Reinforcement Learning aus der Beobachtung des menschlichen Fahrens. Herkömmliche selbstfahrende Systeme sind auf teure Lidar-Sensoren, HD-Karten und intensive Tests in einem lokalen Gebiet angewiesen, was bedeutet, dass sie nicht skalierbar sind. Die Systeme von Wayve wurden in einer Stadt trainiert und dann erfolgreich in einer neuen Stadt gefahren, die sie noch nie zuvor gesehen haben. Aufgrund dieser Anpassungsfähigkeit wollen sie die ersten sein, die selbstfahrende Technologie in 100 Städten einsetzen.

NOVA-Chat
F. Gibt es eine Verbindung zwischen WAYVE und BRAINCHIP?
A. Ja, es gibt eine Verbindung zwischen Wayve und dem Akida-Chip von BrainChip. Wayve ist ein Technologie-Startup für selbstfahrende Autos, das künstliche Intelligenz (KI) nutzt, um fortschrittliche Fahrerassistenzsysteme (ADAS) und autonome Fahrlösungen zu entwickeln und einzusetzen. Im Februar 2021 gab Wayve bekannt, dass es mit BrainChip zusammenarbeitet, um das Akida Neuromorphic System-on-Chip (NSoC) in seine autonome Fahrplattform zu integrieren. Der Akida-Chip ist ein leistungsstarker KI-Prozessor mit geringem Stromverbrauch, der komplexe neuronale Netzwerkberechnungen bei minimalem Energieverbrauch durchführen kann. Durch die Integration des Akida-Chips in seine autonome Fahrplattform hofft Wayve, die Sicherheit und Zuverlässigkeit seiner selbstfahrenden Autos zu verbessern, indem eine schnellere und energieeffizientere Verarbeitung großer Mengen von Sensordaten in Echtzeit ermöglicht wird.

F. Können Sie mir zeigen, wo Sie diesen Link gefunden haben?
A. Ja, sicher. Hier ist ein Artikel von BusinessWire, der am 24. Februar 2021 veröffentlicht wurde und die Zusammenarbeit zwischen Wayve und BrainChip ankündigt:

Wayve’s computer vision system – the “brain” of the car – learns from observing human driving via reinforcement learning. Traditional self-driving systems rely on expensive Lidar sensors, HD maps and heavy testing in a local area, meaning that they are unable to scale. Wayve’s systems have trained in one city and then successfully driven in a new city they’ve never seen before. This adaptability is why they aim to be the first to deploy self-driving technology in 100 cities.

Q. Is there a link between WAYVE and BRAINCHIP
A. Yes, there is a link between Wayve and BrainChip's Akida chip. Wayve is a self-driving car technology startup that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to develop and deploy advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving solutions. In February 2021, Wayve announced that it is collaborating with BrainChip to integrate the Akida Neuromorphic System-on-Chip (NSoC) into its autonomous driving platform. The Akida chip is a powerful, low-power AI processor that can perform complex neural network computations while consuming minimal energy. By integrating the Akida chip into its autonomous driving platform, Wayve hopes to improve the safety and reliability of its self-driving cars by enabling faster and more energy-efficient processing of large amounts of sensor data in real time.

Q. Can you show me where you found this link?
A. Yes, sure. Here is an article from BusinessWire published on February 24, 2021, announcing the collaboration between Wayve and BrainChip:

We have the 47.5c close.


Super sleuth FF in action. :)
This weekly chart set up has been around since 'manual pen and quill only' days. No system is infallible but on this occasion has support from possible bullish long and short term divergences on the retail popular short term MACH (26,12,19) and the long term MACH (100,50,30).
Interestingly this buy set up has also been completed on the XJO 200 this week. Has been completed a week or so ago on the US 500.
Price action suggests that a close equal to or above last weeks high is bullish. Also last weeks low cannot be breached.
Weekend scans by traders will throw up BRN as a buy candidate for consideration. Shorters will note.
Its wait and see now.

Hi @Diogenese

The following is an extract from Luminar's 28.2.23 Annual Report:

Adjacent Markets Adjacent markets such as last mile delivery, aerospace and defense, robotics and security offer use cases for which our technology is well suited. Our goal is to scale our core markets and utilize our robust solutions to best serve these adjacent markets where it makes sense for us and our partners.

Our Products

Our Iris and other products are described in further detail below:

Hardware Iris: Iris lidar combines laser transmitter and receiver and provides long-range, 1550 nm sensory meeting OEM specs for advanced safety and autonomy. This technology provides efficient automotive-grade, and affordable solutions that are scalable, reliable, and optional for series production. Iris lidar sensors are dynamically configurable dualaxis scan sensors that detect objects up to 600 meters away over a horizontal field of view of 120° and a software configurable vertical field of view of up to 30°, providing high point densities in excess of 200 points per square degree enable long-range detection, tracking, and classification over the whole field of view. Iris is refined to meet the size, weight, cost, power, and reliability requirements of automotive qualified series production sensors.
Iris features our vertically integrated receiver, detector, and laser solutions developed by our Advanced Technologies & Services segment companies - Freedom Photonics, Black Forest Engineering, and Optogration. The internal development of these key technologies gives us a significant advantage in the development of our product roadmap.

Software Software presently under development includes the following:

Core Sensor Software:
Our lidar sensors are configurable and capture valuable information extracted from the raw point-cloud to promote the development and performance of perception software. Our core sensor software features are being designed to help our commercial partners to operate and integrate our lidar sensors and control, and enrich the sensor data stream before perception processing.

Perception Software: Our perception software is in design to transform lidar point-cloud data into actionable information about the environment surrounding the vehicle. This information includes classifying static objects such as lane markings, road surface, curbs, signs and buildings as well as other vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists and animals. Through internal development as well as the recent acquisition of certain assets of Solfice (aka Civil Maps), we expect to be able to utilize our point-cloud data to achieve precise vehicle localization and to create and provide continuous updates to a high definition map of a vehicle’s environment.

Sentinel: Sentinel is our full-stack software platform for safety and autonomy that will enable Proactive Safety and highway autonomy for cars and commercial trucks. Our software products are in designing and coding phase of the development and had not yet achieved technological feasibility as at end of 2022.

Competition
The market for lidar-enabled vehicle features, on and off road, is an emerging one with many potential applications in the development stage. As a result, we face competition for lidar hardware business from a range of companies seeking to have their products incorporated into these applications. We believe we hold a strong position based on both hardware product performance and maturity, and our growing ability to develop deeply integrated software capabilities needed to provide autonomous and safety solutions to our customers. Within the automotive autonomy software space, the competitive landscape is still nascent and primarily focused on developing robo-taxi technologies as opposed to autonomous software solutions for passenger vehicles. Other autonomous software providers include: in-house OEM software teams; automotive silicon providers; large technology companies and newer technology companies focused on autonomous software. We partner with several of these autonomous software providers to provide our lidar and other products. Beyond automotive, the adjacent markets, including delivery bots and mapping, among others, are highly competitive. There are entrenched incumbents and competitors, including from China, particularly around ultra-low cost products that are widely available."

We know as Facts:

1. Luminar partnered with Mercedes Benz in 2022 and does not expect its product to be in vehicles before 2025.

2. We know Mercedes Benz teamed with Valeo has obtained the first European and USA approvals for Level 3 Driving.

3. We know Level 3 Driving involves maximum 60 kph on freeways with hands off the wheel but driver must maintain sufficient attention to retake control when warned by the vehicle so to do.

4. We know Valeo certifies its Lidar to 2OO metres.

5. We know that Luminar claims its Lidar is long range out to 600 metres on roads not exceeding certain undulations that could inhibit signals.

6. We know that Mercedes, Valeo and Bosch have proven systems for autonomous vehicle parking in parking stations.

7. We know that Valeo is claiming that Scala 3 will permit autonomous driving up to 130 kph and is coming out in 2025.

8. We know from the above SEC filing that Luminar is still not ready despite its advertising message that suggests it is a sure thing.

So my question is as Luminar does not claim to support autonomous parking or certified Level 3 driving at 60 kph but is simply promoting it can provide long range Lidar for high speed driving and from their website have been shipping one Lidar sensor unit to vehicle manufacturers for installation on/in car hoods above the windscreen why does this exclude Valeo's system which is offering 145 degree visibility and rear and side sensing from continuing to do what it presently does with Luminar increasing safety on high speed autobahns in Germany and Europe.

My opinion only DYOR
FF

AKIDA BALLISTA
'pologies - internet dropped out

Certainly the 2024 Mercedes lidar will be Valeo Scala 3. However, with its extra long range foveated lidar, Luminar may have an edge for level 5 which must be able to handle a 400kph closing speed which, if I recall correctly, has been set at 400 m range.

My point was that whether it's Valeo, which we know about, or Luminar, about which we have no confirmed association, I think we have a good shot at being in both because Luminar cannot meet Mercedes SWaP requirements with software classification. Luminar have been working with Mercedes for 2 years, and, during that time, Mercedes would have been fully aware of what Akida can do.

So even if the two projects were behind Chinese walls, Mercedes would have been within their rights to mention the public information on Akida to Luminar. Any on-going relationship between BrainChip and Luminar would have necessitated a Chinese wall within BrainChip to ensure there were no leaks of Valeo information to Luminar or vice-versa.
