Having just read through the Sean post over at the crapper I’ve come to the conclusion that if anyone wants to block 90% of the posters that constantly find a way off attacking the company, then nows your chance.
I agree with you. First of all, you are correct in stating that the car manufacturing is a dwindling industry. Especially now, considering the costs involved in producing vehicles."We’ll likely need quite a bit of patience, though, as the journalists who were recently shown around MB’s Future Technologies Lab, were told by MB’s neuromorphic researchers that the technology were “still in its infancy” and required “extensive testing and certification” before going into production cars, saying they were expecting the hardware to be available in the 2030s…"
Although I'm not really excited, about what I consider to be a dwindling industry (Great publicity, but) I don't think their "expecting the hardware to be available in the 2030s…" statement is a blanket one, relating to all use cases of Neuromorphic Technology, in their cars.
I think it's more likely, that that particular statement, refers to ADAS type applications.
It just doesn't make sense to me, to assume that it relates to things like voice control and infotainment type applications also, because they don't require "certification" for a start..

Welcome to the Keyword Spotting Revolution: Where Intelligent Voice Interaction meets Real-World
Applications
Smart devices, wearables and even consumer appliances are becoming increasingly dependant on voice interaction, yet technology solutions are challenged with efficiently controlling the energy required to support these very specific interactions within the devices.
How to Determine when Device
interaction is Needed
![]()
Identify Keywords to match
![]()
Are they recognized?
![]()
Device interacts and listens.
If the keywords are not recognized, the device does not attempt to process any data, which elongates battery life and provides an additional layer of user privacy.
This is Keyword Spotting (KWS)
Devices detect specific wake words and phrases and interact only when there is a match.
![]()
This technology powers the functionality behind familiar voice-activated systems, making them responsive and user-friendly. However, as devices evolve and user expectations grow, Keyword Spotting is now occurring locally on devices, without cloud connectivity.
- Reduces User Latency
- Ensures Privacy
- Improves Power Efficiency
- Significantly Reduces
You no longer need to be a large cloud provider to offer a “hello” and wake up service for devices.
Why Keyword Spotting?
Keyword Spotting is a technology that listens for specific words or phrases in an audio stream, triggering a response from a device. Once known only for waking up a device service that routes the rest of the voice from your home or smartphone device to a server in the cloud, Keyword Spotting can be deployed locally to interpret a wide set of in context commands, such as “lock the door” or “set the microwave for 1 minute.”
The key is the device’s ability to locally monitor audio input in a low-power state until it detects the specified keyword, allowing the system to save battery or compute power until needed, which is particularly important for devices such as wearables and other IoT devices. Having a small library of key words enables local control of a device without any other interface.
Key Benefits
![]()
Lower Cost of Ownership
Local edge processing allows devices to operate without relying on cloud connectivity, reducing operational costs.
![]()
Reduced Latency
Responses are nearly instantaneous, providing a natural voice interface, without the need for round trips to the cloud and back.
![]()
Enhanced Privacy
Audio data stays on the device, there’s no risk of personal information being eavesdropped on by remote servers.
There are a host of examples of how this can benefit users in scenarios like a vehicle,where commands like “turn on the lights” or “check for maintenance” offer a betterexperience than searching for switches or menus. It enables instant, connection-freeresponses, which is crucial for safety.
I'll go sell off today and a pump late tomorrow before the weekend. FOMOIs today going to be a pump day from the traders and then a sell off day tomorrow?

Westpac app is having problems.Why is BRN going into trading status "pre open" sporadically this morning?
This is on the Westpac app.....
