Hmm yep.

Didn't the company state a couple of years ago we'd really hit a sweet spot with Lidar? Yes.

"In addition to Tesla, Luminar supplies its lidar sensors to automakers such as Volvo and Mercedes-Benz, indicating the broadening adoption of this technology in the automotive industry."

Great article........

Pretty sure Qualcomm was supplying Volkswagen though.....

Hmm

Qualcomm aren't pushing Neuromorphic at the moment though. Wonder why?

Neuromorphic/Event-Based Vision Systems: A Key for Autonomous Future – Telematics Wire

Volkswagen (Object Detection and Classification): The OEM has developed a neuromorphic vision system for image generation and processing to support advanced driver assistance applications and automated driving functionality. The bio-inspired system includes multiple photoreceptors for generating spike data. This data indicates whether an intensity value measured by that photoreceptor exceeds a threshold. The digital NM engine includes processors running software configured to generate digital neuromorphic output data, which is velocity vector data to determine spatiotemporal patterns for 3D analysis for object detection, classification, and tracking.

BrainChip Blog Series: Exploring the Future of Neuromorphic Computing at the Edge​

According to Gartner, traditional computing technologies will hit a digital wall in 2025 and force a shift to new strategies, including those involving neuromorphic computing. With neuromorphic computing, endpoints can create a truly intelligent edge by efficiently identifying, extracting, analyzing, and inferring only the most meaningful data. Untethered from the cloud, neuromorphic edge AI silicon is already enabling people to seamlessly interact with smarter devices that independently learn new skills, intelligently anticipate requests, and instantly deliver services.

Unlocking the full potential of edge AI with BrainChip
At BrainChip, we believe edge AI presents both a challenge and opportunity for the semiconductor industry. Specific strategies to unlocking the full potential of edge AI will undoubtedly vary, which is why we are launching a new company blog series to explore how neuromorphic edge silicon can mimic the human brain to analyze only essential sensor inputs at the point of acquisition.

We’ll take an in-depth look at the primary design principles of neuromorphic edge silicon, discuss scaling and optimizing on-chip memory, review key strategies for efficiently leveraging incremental and one-shot learning, and detail how to write more efficient machine learning models. We’ll also highlight real world edge AI use cases powered by BrainChip’s Akida neural networking processor, including medical sensors, automotive edge learning at high speeds, object detection and classification, and keyword spotting.

The future’s not only bright, it’s essential
In recent years, neuromorphic computing has enabled new learning models and architectures for edge AI. Smart edge silicon that follows the principles of essential AI—doing more with less—now supports a new generation of advanced multimodal use cases with independent learning and inference capabilities, faster response times, and a lower power budget. By keeping machine learning on the device, neuromorphic edge silicon dramatically reduces latency, minimizes power consumption, and improves security.

We are excited to launch our new company blog series to explore how neuromorphic computing supports the unique learning and performance requirements of edge AI. We look forward to provoking conversation and collaboration as we deploy effective edge compute across real-world applications such as connected cars, consumer electronics, industrial and commercial IoT, and other areas.

PARIBAS Dingo is owned by Vanguard one of the 2 biggest financial companies. They deal with high net worth individuals. They have been buying hard adding all the time. I think that this is what you would call smart money positioning. IMO we will see. It's not a bad thing They are buying. I did find a link can not find now but a European fund has 30 million shares again the reporting is what I question. But Paribans is still adding.

Hi Kachoo,

while Vanguard is likely one of the non-European institutional shareholders of BNP Paribas (the other usual suspect, BlackRock, is also invested), they certainly don’t own them. The BNP Paribas Group is Europe’s largest banking group by assets, and counts even states (Belgium and Luxembourg) among its shareholders.

The recent list of Top 50 BRN holders contains four separate BNP Paribas nominee accounts, all within the Top 16.
All but one increased their holdings over the last three months. Most notably BNP Paribas Nominees Pty Ltd ACF Clearstream in third position with a total of 107,109,511 shares, an increase by more than 6 million shares.

Clearstream is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Deutsche Börse AG (which also operates the Frankfurt Stock Exchange). BNP Paribas is Clearstream’s local subcustodian in Australia and NZ:

My guess is that German and other European industry would possibly be investing through Clearstream? As well as entities such as Frankfurter Vermögen with their funds? I don’t have any background in finance, though, so I’ll leave it there. Maybe someone else can dig a little deeper? And also answer the question whether BRN retail shareholders in Europe whose brokerage account is with a BNP Paribas Group bank (such as Consorsbank in Germany), would be bunched together in the BNP Paribas IB AU NOMS RETAILCLIENT nominee account?

So just because we've announced a partnership with Valeo, you think that rules us out with Luminar?

Do you think all our partnerships have already been announced? If so why?

I'm not saying it's us, but i don't think we can say it isn't at this point.

@Smoothsailing

Luminar Technologies (LiDAR and 3D Point Cloud): The company has developed a method for correlating DVS pixels of the events with the 3D point cloud of a LiDAR sensor. In this method, DVS is used for selecting the region of interest (ROI) of the scene and sending it directly to the LiDAR beam scanning module, therefore eliminating complexities related to object detection and classification procedures involved in image processing. Consequently, the LiDAR sensor scans only the portions of the scene that are changing in real-time, reducing overall latency.

I have no idea really however I didn’t think we had a connection with Luminar ?. I am far from knowledgeable on this and believe you have a far better understanding of how we maybe involved.
Fingers crossed that we are through a third party maybe ?

@Smoothsailing

MB bought a large portion of Luminar a few years back. My thoughts are they are using Valeo until they have completed and certified Luminars LiDAR to level 3.

MB are already working on implementing Akida into their vehicles. Again my thoughts but using Akida in their MMA solution throughout the vehicle is a possibility.

With the no of chips throughout a car it would make Brainchip profitable. Unfortunately they are not small projects and therefore takes time!

With MB bringing out the new MBUX I’m hoping we should start to see a trickle of revenue soonish!

SoftBank Corp aims to help call centre workers by 'softening' angry customer calls with AI​

TOKYO, May 16 (Reuters) - Dealing with irate customers can be extremely stressful for call centre workers but Japan's SoftBank Corp thinks it has a solution: artificial intelligence-enabled software that softens the tone of customers' voices.

The country's third-largest telecoms provider aims to begin testing the technology internally and externally over the next year and commercialise it by the end of March 2026.

"We are working on the development of a solution that can convert the customer's voice into a calm conversational tone and deliver it to our workers using AI-enabled emotion recognition and voice processing technology," SoftBank said in a press release on Wednesday.

"With this solution, we aim to maintain good relationships with customers through sound communication while ensuring the psychological welfare of our workers."

Japan prides itself on its high standard of customer service but the issue of harassment of staff working in the service industry has gained more awareness in recent years. The government is looking at legislation to strengthen protection for workers.

Around half of some 33,000 respondents to a survey this year by UA Zensen, a labour union for workers mainly in the service and retail industry, said they had experienced harassment by customers during the last two years. The incidents included verbal abuse, intimidation and in some cases even demands by customers for workers to kneel and bow in apology.

More than 100 respondents said they had sought psychiatric help as a result of the harassment.
