I request elaboration...
Although, it "was" SiFive partnering with us, that had Arm knocking on our door the very next day..
We have heard nothing from either since and I think they would be more enablers, should a major tech Company choose our solutions, moving forward into the A.I. Edge landscape?..

Mercedes-Benz has decided to cancel its MB.EA Large electric vehicle platform, citing slower-than-expected sales of the EQE and EQS models. This move, reported by Handelsblatt, is aimed at saving billions in development costs as the company reevaluates its luxury car strategy.
Originally slated for a 2028 release, the MB.EA platform was intended to incorporate technologies showcased in the Vision EQXX concept, including ultra-long-range capabilities. However, with the cancellation of the platform, expectations for 750 miles on a single charge have been dashed.
Instead, Mercedes plans to redirect resources into further development of its EVA2 platform, currently utilized by the EQS and EQE models.
CEO Ola Källenius assures shareholders of the company's commitment to both electric and combustion-engined vehicles in the foreseeable future.
Mercedes-Benz aims to achieve a CO2-neutral new car fleet by 2039, with electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles projected to constitute up to 50% of new car sales in the second half of the decade.
The company emphasizes flexibility in catering to customer preferences, offering vehicles with fully electric drivetrains or electrified combustion engines into the 2030s.

Which is actually good for the Planet and people who love muscle cars..
We need a variety of solutions and a kick in the pants for carbon recycling.
This won't stop the integration of A.I. into everything though and Companies like Mercedes, will continue to pursue it.
While the energy savings of neuromorphic, aren't as important now in these situations, latency still is.
The new paradigm of humanoid robots, won't be running on the Otto 4-cycle either..

Be nice if we could start our integration into something.
This is negative news for BRN no matter what spin of the disc you choose to play.

Sorry, I just don't see how it is negative news for us, unless we are mining Lithium, or making Electric Vehicles..
Correct, we are far more useful in furthering the in-cabin technology than extending battery life or revolutionising the ICE. The global appetite for EVs has stalled... just like China, we don't need EVs to succeed.

There is quite a bit of politics involved in this decision. MB want to move the build to China where they can be more profitable and this gives them the out in a way.

What all this means for Akida is not known but I would say that when your looking to save money and make bigger profits you would go with solutions that are cost effective.

This EV news is echoing with all makers its about profitability.
Ford cancelled EVs growth also. The biggest issue was the 2030 mandate of the percentage of cars to be Electric. It was too ambitious.
The issue is that China can build the cars cheaper and have better battery technology.
The news we are fed is vary vauge to and we jump to conclusions like what is exactly the difference between each platform and what will stay or go is really not known.
Hi DB,
As you say, adoption of autonomous driving is largely independent of the EV/ICE mix. However, while from a driving point of view the reduction of processing power is not as critical, there will still be ongoing pressure to reduce the consumption of fossil fuel, even if only a few percentage points, though clearly this is not as significant as with EVs from a performance point of view.
I don't see the demise of the top of the range Mercedes EV as the death knell of widespread adoption of EVs. That will only affect BRN shareholders and a few others.
Mercedes have 10 of the top 20 EV range vehicles:
https://ev-database.org/cheatsheet/range-electric-car
Also I don't know if we can take the 20 year EV/ICE carbon footprint breakeven as correct. Only recently there was a study published which placed it at about 3 years, and that with the current renewables supply mix.
Advances in battery technology will also place downward pressure on this, reducing weight and charging time while increasing range. It has been found that adding about 5% silicon to a graphite anode can increase charge density by about 40%.
I would think that the build-out of charging points will provide a degree of increased adoption in time.
https://alternative-fuels-observato..._electric_vehicle_charging_infrastructure.pdf
The rate of installation of charging points is clearly slower than the sales of battery electric cars. In 2023, BEVs represented 14.6% of EU new car sales, with plug-in hybrids accounting for 7.7%, according to ACEA data. The share of battery electric cars is expected to reach almost 30% of the European market by 2025 and to exceed 70% by 2030.8
Over the past seven years, sales of BEVs have outpaced the growth of the charging point network by more than threefold. Between 2017 and 2023, electric car sales increased over 18 times, while the number of public chargers in the EU grew merely sixfold during the same period.

I'm think you're missing the point, with the EV wind back, Kachoo..
It's not about profitability (linking to the costs of investment) or competing against Chinese manufacturers.
It comes down primarily (I think) to consumers not wanting them.
So yeah, I guess you can't make a profit, if no one buys your product..
European ports turned into car parks as EV makers hunt buyers
Sales of electric cars in Europe are relatively low, but it is just one reason why the vehicles are piling up in Europe's major ports.
People, don't even want the cheap Chinese EVs..
It more comes down to the age old saying of..
"The customer is always right".

Ever since the end of the Space Shuttle program in August of 2011, the United States has been relying on Russia for transport to the International Space Station. NASA has been driving towards domestic capability ever since. Fast forward to 2024, we are now at the doorstep of having two options, which will be owned and operated by commercial companies.
Transportation, infrastructure, and sustainment of Low Earth Orbit space stations are pivoting to the private sector, where governments will start to take more of a back seat approach versus owning the whole process. This is visibly on display with regard to the transportation aspect of this ecosystem. With the dawn of two US-based transport capsules to support carrying cargo and astronauts up to the International Space Station, this is a significant example of the ongoing pivot.
The successful launch and docking of the Boeing Starliner atop a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket are significant accomplishments for Boeing and for the space industry, as a whole. The new era of Low Earth Orbit sustained infrastructure is in full force with this accomplishment. With both commercial options transitioning into a normal flow of activity, it appears that NASA will have the ability to focus on other programs and support the handoff of the next-generation space station work to private industry. This certainly will take some time but will be exciting to watch how things unfold.

Renesas high reliability space products, formerly owned by Intersil, have been supporting the space industry for six decades. From defense to commercial and space exploration, we have been a part of and witnessed it all. As the space industry pivots to significantly more utilization of Low Earth Orbit, we are working to position ourselves with the right products for the right mission profiles. Whether it is for short flight durations and lower radiation requirements, or long flight durations and high radiation requirements, our space grade products are meeting this ever-expanding spectrum of needs.
Our multi-production flow development strategy offers products in three different flows: Radiation Tolerant Plastic, Radiation Hardened Plastic, and Radiation Hardened Hermetic, which allows system designers to easily scale their designs based on program needs and get to market faster. Our broad portfolio of power management products covers a wide expanse from integrated FET regulators, PWM controllers, FET drivers (MOSFET and GaN FETs), GaN FETs, to linear regulators and power peripherals. This allows for compact, robust, and efficient power conversion from the solar panels down to the point of loads. Power management is like the heart of electrical systems, energizing the other parts of the system to do what they were designed to do.
Another core competency for the Renesas high reliability product portfolio has been the precision analog and mixed-signal product offerings. To support the evolving space landscape, a diverse array of products support precision sensor signal processing, everything from sensors all the way to the FPGAs/MPUs/MCUs with advancements in performance. Example products in this area are cold sparable multiplexors, precision operational amplifiers (op amps), precision voltage references, and high-resolution/precision analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). This portfolio of products is particularly well suited for telemetry, tracking, and control (TT&C) applications, but finds a home in most onboard payloads. Like the five senses of the human body working with our nervous system and brain to keep us out of trouble, these systems are responsible for maintaining the health and performance of the spacecraft. Like the five senses of the human body working with our nervous system and brain to keep us out of trouble, for example.
These space-grade solutions in the power management and sensor signal processing area, have considerable flight heritage and are available in both radiation hardened and radiation tolerant product flows, supporting different quality, reliability, performance, and cost points.
The Starliner is yet another great example of the paradigm shift that is ongoing in the space economy ecosystem. All facets of this ecosystem should, and are taking notice, evaluating technological advancements/needs and business models. This ultimately will enable an acceleration of maximizing space in endless dimensions.

There is nothing to see here . In fact there has been nothing to see for over 2 years . Nothing to read either . All wishful thinking and endless prattling. I cannot remember even hearing any crickets .Those models that they have produced prototypes of , were not to be introduced to the market for another 3 years . More important tasks at hand than urinating against the wind. Esq111 may offer his list of connections that we have , so as to remind us of the plethora of companies that we have connections with that , like that car company, may or may not move forward with their business plans to go into production. I remember an old and trusted poster here stating that he believed that Brainchip was at the tipping point and saw no reason for him to continue posting here anymore. I want a new Apple iPhone with us in it . Apple needs us for them to catch up with the AI revolution.Mercedes-Benz bins new EV platform after slow sales - report
