I've always felt that the big players are working against us. They don't want any more players to compete with for market share no matter how small our amount would be to the entire market. That's why I was relieved when we finally cracked into the Defence Force and Space Agencies who need the best and are less likely to only go with the big players - a side entrance to the market. I think this must have really annoyed them and they're still trying to subdue us.
Let's hope we can continue to make strides with other companies with similar needs until we can't be ignored and become a necessity.
My thoughts for the day ....... and hurry up with that $9M contract by the end of the year Sean!

I think you are right to a certain degree, M.B. are apparently using Lohei2 (Intel) in the radar system on yet another concept car,
Nvidia are also being used by M.B.. But Akida could be used in other areas of the car design we don't know about? I think a typical modern car contain thousands of chips, depending on type.
When Mercedes is doing a presentation everybody knows who they are talking about regarding above 2 brands but BrainChip? Who? Most wouldn't know about us. We had that crazy SP spike when we were mentioned at the previous concept car launch, and it wasn't good for BRN SP but for a very short time, downhill ever since.
I can't really see how a company like Nvidia/Intel could work direct against us, but they have the advantage of being well-known companies, and some vendors might prefer a well established brand when they choose hardware.
With the BrainChip Technology Roadmap, the company is much more mature IMO and Sean said, that's what the big companies want to see when they look for usable technology and have to make a choice on hardware to test for future products, they don't want to work with "hobbyist" companies, but prefer established brands.
Yes, it's fantastic BRN are getting into space and defense, because they typical want the products that use less power and the best because it makes their products "smarter" in a smaller footprint.
I think and hope that we are getting really close to penetrate the market on a bigger scale, time is both for and against BRN, Sean must secure something soon and he knows it.
It can also not be ruled out that Nvidia or another big player will buy us out one day, if you can't beat them, buy them and use the technology to their own advantage.
