This is a Google translate of an article in German that Perhaps posted on the Mercedes thread. I have brought it over here because of how it refers to Nvidia and Brainchip almost as if they are partnered in some way. Was Rob Telson being a teller of fortune when he said in his recent interview that Brainchip did not see Nvidia as a competitor but more of a partner in the future.
How is this Guzzi for getting the word out to the country side. LOL
My opinion only DYOR (and produce a better translation please)

Mercedes Vision EQXX as a technology carrier with brain chip and Nvidia

Bamboo fiber and vegan leather in the interior of the Mercedes Vision EQXX
The role of the technology leader is also evident in the interior. All carpets are made from 100 percent bamboo fibers. Pulverized cactus fibers in combination with a bio-based polyurethane matrix form the vegan leather alternative Deserttex. The artificial leather Mylo, which is also used, is made from mushrooms, more precisely from mycelium. The material mix is completed by the well-known synthetic leather Dinamica, which in the concept vehicle consists of 38 percent recycled PET bottles.

The infotainment system, which runs on an 8K screen with mini-LED technology and a screen diagonal of 47.5 inches, is also completely new. Passengers can talk to the avatar, who acts as a tour guide. Inspired by the other
concept car Mercedes Vision AVTRThe Vision EQXX also uses artificial intelligence to control air conditioning etc. Information should only be sent when the received signals reach certain threshold values. The Hey Mercedes voice control should consume significantly less power than previous MBUX systems. To this end, the Baden-Württemberg company is working together with the Californian company Brainchip and Nvidia. Brainchip provides the Akida hardware and software, which is 1.2 million neurons per SoC, distributed across an
80 NPU chipset that is being built in 28 nm at contract manufacturer TSMC. Nvidia, in turn, delivers the
Geforce RTX 3080 with the
Orin SoC based on the Ampere architecture
& Co. continues to be the driving force behind future MBUX generations and is developing the MBUX operating system and autonomous driving functions together with Mercedes.
From 2025 there will only be new Mercedes models as electric cars
Although Mercedes recently announced on July 22, 2021 that it would
only bring fully electric platforms for cars and vans onto the market from 2025, Mercedes intends to continue building and selling the cars with combustion engines that have been on the market by then as long as they do there is a demand. The Group is preparing for the fact that there will be regional differences.
From 2024, all compact models of the A/CLA/GLA and B/GLB series that are newly launched on the market will be based on the Mercedes Modular Architecture platform. The MMA platform can be used for both e-cars and automobiles with a transversely mounted 4-cylinder engine. Mercedes will develop the combustion engines for the MMA vehicles with the Chinese car manufacturer Geely, with whom the Swabians are already working on the
Smart #1 electric car, in order to save costs in both cases. The e-car versions of MMA should - at least in part - rely on inexpensive LFP batteries, which can withstand more charging cycles than conventional lithium-ion batteries, but are more sensitive to winter temperatures. From 2025, all Mercedes luxury-class vehicles will be based on the MB.EA electric car platform without an LFP battery, so that from this point onwards, for example, a new edition of the E-Class will only be fully electric. The counterpart with a combustion engine will continue to be built after 2025 based on the MRA rear-wheel drive architecture and will probably receive several facelifts. In the summer of 2021, I was able to put the current
W213 series to an everyday test as a diesel plug-in hybrid

is the country that allocates the highest amount of GDP to mental health . It messes with my mind why they spend that much as we are all different and everyone experiences stress and malfunctions in varying degrees . Maybe 
I could qualify for a benefit and solve my problem by buying more BRN with it
