• September 26, 2023 - Raspberry Pi Monitors Traffic with AI for Urban Planning and More - "Traffic monitoring is a handy tool for a few industries, from urban planning to news stations or anyone interested in the various metrics used to monitor traffic flow. Today, we’ve got a Raspberry Pi project from a maker known over at Hackster as Naveen, who created a traffic monitoring system with some help from a Raspberry Pi CM4. The Pi in this project is working with BrainChip’s Akida Dev Kit. It has everything Naveem needed to capture images from a video traffic feed for the AI system to evaluate. Data can be stored later or made available in real time. Naveem suggests this could be useful for businesses and government agencies that need to monitor traffic patterns. The Akida Dev Kit has a custom PCB with a neuromorphic processor. If you haven’t heard of neuromorphic computing, it’s a design method for hardware and software that uses structures resembling what you’d find inside a brain. This additional PCB is responsible for taking some of the performance load off of the Pi." Link to Article

On ya maxxie. Quicks getting spanked so bowl the tweakers.

Maxxie both wickets! 50 / 50 this one. Perth is awesome time zone for a lot of sport, frigginlove it.

50/50 Same as the gf saturday.

Far out i miss the days when 90% of things i talked about was sport.... now with society it seems to be diminishing

Glenn maxwell

Hes the only one taking wickets in the current odi

Sorry it's completely irrelevant

Hahaha no worries mate carry on.

Ahh cool I thought he finally lost his mind

Yup. Nuppo... what..
Yep ive lost it
Wheres wilzy....

 

[Xhosa12345]

SERIOUSLY tho (which is risky at 1015pm) Mkt cap is less than some of my very risky miners with similar mkt cap (wc8) but surely revenue soon.


Errr Wicket

Mkt cap is all that matters
Im so reluctant to make a prediction
Feel for every c on here

 

[jtardif999]

It all comes down to what individual does.
But you left out an important part :

"Based on what management says".

I seem to try and blame what the actual issue is, while some here try and blame downrampers and manipulators.
No different.

And yes, if the SP was in the right place I'd not be saying it, which is my point.
Management continuously dissed the SP over the last few months.
They continued to sell their holdings, took profit but told us everything is "imminent" and there'll be "explosion".

We can keep diverting the light for a short amount of time, but this downtrend was inevitable with that attitude from the board.

Where’s the proof in ‘they continue to sell their holdings’ ? If you are going to make statements like this you need to back it up.

Mkt cap is all that matters

Who knows mate the market is very bipolar at times. Pretty sure most of us never thought we would be sitting here at this price with all the progress we've made technology wise.
Might be the greatest opportunity we'll ever see in our lifetime to be able to swoop up some shares at these prices and lower in the next few days.
Or the dumbest

EQS out now (at least for press reviews):

This is a link to an automotive journalist's test drive of 2024 Mercedes EQS Drive Pilot in California.

There are a couple of potential uses of Akida:
1. A "sophisticated lidar array" must surely be SCALA 3?
2. The driver monitoring system could also include Akida, and that's without mentioning "Hey Mercedes!"

Mercedes-Benz Drive Pilot Level 3 First “Drive” Review: Horse Has The Reins (msn.com)

MSN

...

Drive Pilot, which will be available on certain 2024 EQS and S-Class sedans in California and Nevada, builds from Mercedes’ existing Driver Assistance package containing Distronic adaptive cruise control with active steering and lane centering. That Level 2 system features a variety of sensors, like front-facing radar to judge following distances, cameras to detect lane markings, and short-distance sonar for parking maneuvers.

However, cars equipped with Drive Pilot also receive a sophisticated lidar array in the grille, rear-facing cameras and microphones that identify approaching emergency vehicles, and moisture sensors in the wheel wells that monitor road conditions. Furthermore, a high-definition GPS antenna on the roof provides that aforementioned accuracy, compensating even for continental drift – years from now, the system will keep the car centered on the road, even after latitude and longitude have shifted by a few feet.

...

If the system’s cabin-monitoring infrared cameras detect you’ve fallen asleep, it will sound a chime and send a notification to take over the driving situation.

...

Conditional automation is still a far cry from the self-driving vehicles we were promised decades ago, but no automaker but Mercedes has achieved Level 3 driver assistance in the US just yet. The Drive Pilot system will only be offered on certain versions of the EQS and S-Class sold in California and Nevada, but Mercedes says that Level 3–capable cars won’t carry an additional upcharge on their sticker prices over equivalent L2 cars.

...

What will cost extra is the subscription to use Drive Pilot, an eyebrow-raising $2,500 a year through the Mercedes Me app store. That’s not a huge increase over the S-Class and EQS’ $115,650 and $105,550 respective starting prices, but it is a recurring cost, not a one-time deal.

Contrary to that AI is the hottest topic right now and price of Nvidia is an example of that.
Every company working in AI is bouncing back even in this inflationary environment.
But if the company will not communicate for more than 2 years that is what you will get. A matter of fact is brainchip could not come out with any revenue for more than 2 years. The only time a revenue was visible on sale was 4 million dollar to megachips but the same money is still recoverable ( or they already become bad debts) anyone's guess.
Yes dot joiners can keep on joining left, right but their is nothing coming out from company.

Software AI is a different kettle of fish to what BrainChip are commercialising. Nvidia have gone all in with optimised software and their GPUs to make the most Gen AI, but the reality is they are squeezing every last drop of performance out of 20th Century technology reliant on a cloud server model for delivery. They are hedging their bets and it is not sustainable. BrainChips success requires a network/internet hardware refit, which is happening - but not quite there yet. Don’t get caught up with the Chatbot hype it’s a bit of a distraction going on atm, the real transformation is taking much longer - though I personally think next year should see some significant strides.

Pretty sure Mercedes use Luminar LiDAR not valeo

Pretty sure Mercedes use Luminar LiDAR not valeo

Afaik Luminar will be in production cars up from 2025. 2023/2024 productions are still equipped with Valeo, probably Scala 2.

Mercedes-Benz Expands Lidar Production Deal With Luminar

Just over a year after initially announcing a partnership with lidar manufacturer Luminar, Mercedes-Benz plans a major expansion of that relationship which includes multiple production programs.

Good post. There is that much crap posted especially on hot crapper that the simplicity of BRNs material advantages to the existing 'classical method' of AI to the Edge such as NVIDIA becomes lost.
BRNs AKIDA avoidis the costly and time wasting trip to the cloud by players such as NVIDIA.
AKIDA is basicaly a one stop shop type of chip which makes it secure as nothing leaves the chip. Current trip to the cloud offerings cannot offer security/privacy.
AKIDA' s Neuromorphic approach also makes it event based which saves heaps of power. Simply put means just as we know instantaneously a tree is a tree when we see one so does AKIDA. This is made easier by AKIDAs human brain like power to learn on chip.
Other offerings chew up heaps of power to find out its a tree.
Also with expected exponential growth in AI at the Edge the Cloud will not be able to support that growth.
So step in BRN.
It's becoming a simple choice.
