SynSense + BMW

Neuromorphic chip developer SynSense steps into the field of smart cockpits by initiating a technological exploration with BMW

The world’s leading neuromorphic intelligence and solutions provider, SynSense, announced that it will advance the integration of neuromorphic chips and smart cockpits and explore related fields with BMW. This marks the entry point for the application of SynSense’s brain-like technology into...

Could it be Akida?

Imo opinion it is either a cloud cockpit, a research chip or hey Akida and potentially by a third party.

As FF says "BMW just keep popping up" and brainchip know who their competitor's are.

I wonder if Vlad is aware of Brainchip.

Edge Compute.

Evening fellow Brners, found something interesting, sorry if posted already. Uiux posted something about a month ago on the brainchip story thread something interesting about the editing and reviewers names of an article written by Brainchip. - A Review of Current Neuromorphic Approaches for Vision, Auditory, and Olfactory Sensors.
What i also found interesting is the impact of this is spread to interesting locations around the world!! I will try to Google map to get a closer look at the actual locations.

That's it!

Just wondering what the word is under your avatar?? Interesting.

Gotcha I'm looking forward to my purchase.

"oh my god"

Ermahgerd is a humorous version of the phrase oh my god, written as though pronounced with a heavy influence of extra Rs. It's meant to imitate the sound of someone speaking through a retainer.

I think L.g are involved too

Not sure if this has been posted yet but here it goes. Some more research on forecasted growth for the Neuromorphic AI market and a list of major competitors in this space.

Yeah you got it right Ermahgerd aka. Oh My God.. it sounded similar to Emerged. So kinda made sense!

I cant help but keep coming back to the Brainchip - Valeo (lidar) connection.

These are old articles but no matter how many times I read them and how critical a position take I always come away convinced that it is only a matter of time. tick, tick tick.... Boom

Both Valeo and Brainchip are presenting at AutoSens Detroit next month. The lineup is impressive with Nvidia, Waymo, etc, and all automotive ADAS focused companies. Not sure if this has already been reported.

I was searching to try to find any connection between Indie Semiconductor and Brainchip. Nothing so far, but both will be at this event, but of course everyone is there. Anil is going to speak in the Toyota Theater!

A little more detail on Detroit AutoSens event. What an impressive list of speakers, especially the Machine Learning, Low Power, Spiking Neural Network badass named Brainchip! https://auto-sens.com/events/detroit/agenda/

Yesterday my wife burst into the room where I was saying “can you believe it they want $9.00 for a coffee” she said the name of the place but I will not damn them here.

This was a new high for me but perhaps this is what is becoming common place???

FF.

And that may be why older people always seem to miss "the good ole days". It's always difficult to fathom current prices and impossible not to remember....how much this or that use to cost. Us teenage smokers use to grab just one cigarette from the pack to take to lunch at the dorm cafeteria for lunch in college because other (cheap) students would bum them from you if you did bring a pack. And that was when a pack cost a whole 25 cents.

Speaking of beer, my dad, long deceased, used to accompany his dad to the tavern where a bucket or pail of beer cost 25 cents. But before they walked home with their pail they would enjoy a spead of meats, cheeses, and other items was set out for the beer buying patrons patrons at no charge.

Ah,...the good ole days. We've all got those stories.

There has been plenty of research & links back to qualcomm and the recent interview with their CEO showed they definitely are not intending to get left behind, certainly alot of what Qualcomm want Akida can provide.

If there is a partnership, I would expect a long lasting NDA wrapped around it.

I wonder if Karl may have anything to add.

Karl Freund,
I love to learn and share the amazing hardware and services being built to enable Artificial Intelligence, the next big thing in technology.

There was an older competitors slide viewed in BRN presentations - you know the slide showing the boxes ticked with Akida having all ticked. Recent versions of that slide show Intel and IBM as the only Neuromorphic competitors, but an older slide (probably before 2018) used to show Qualcomm as a Neuromorphic competitor - then they stopped showing it.. From memory I think Qualcomm sited BRN patents the most of any company in the early days, but then as I said they appeared to stop being a competitor.

The following from the ID Tech website is interesting. It shows one of a number of STEM (Sci, Tech, Eng, Math) classes held for teens. These are classes meant to supplement motivated smart students regular schooling. This particular class is sponsored by Nvidia.

I wish Brainchip were here in the ID Tech offerings. Get the word out and give future generations, budding engineers, and creative tech innovators the foremost (imo) neuromorphic processing tech available today to mess around with.

I wonder if Nvidia might squawk if Brainchip tried to be part of ID Tech? What I highlighted (in bold below) sounds very familiar.

I would personally not write off Collins Aerospace as AKIDA offered more features than Studio and the security side of aerospace may well keep things out of the light.

The same story goes for Safran. AKIDA offers much more than Studio did. Safran is large in Australia which I did not know until reading about them after the sub deal went south and it was the Australian Government not private Australian companies involved in that contract rescission.

The same goes for the French Police and Homeland Security. The French arm of Brainchip was the foundation stone of that engagement and the dispute over the subs was Government to Government. Once again AKIDA added an extra dimension to what they were doing and I personally as a result of my background could always see this going stealth.

If you want to see this in play just go into any Court where a major drug importation case is being tried and at some point you will see entered into evidence a certificate exempting discovery of details of the technology used to listen to the private conversations of the accused on the basis that to release such information would prejudice present and future operations.

So to be clear I would not write them off but I would not hit speed dial to your mortgage broker either.

My opinion only DYOR

emailed Safran and they confirmed they built what was mentioned in the original announcement
