1. How many microprocessors does a car have?
Typical Car Has
100-Plus Microprocessors
A mainstream car has more than 100 microprocessors. “Today's automobiles use a huge number of computer chips, chips in the engine, chips in the seat, chips in everything, but they're in tight supply right now,” said Dziczek.14 Jan 2021
2. Approximately 25.6 billion units
In 2019, global shipments of microcontroller units amounted to approximately
25.6 billion units, a reduction from the 28.1 billion units that were recorded in 2018.27 Aug 2020
3. Global microcontroller market size
The global microcontroller market size was valued at
USD 18.5 billion in 2021 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.8% from 2022 to 2030. Globally, more than 29 billion units of microcontrollers were shipped in 2021.
Growth Rate: CAGR of 9.8% from 2022 to 2030

6. It is expected that approximately 9.7 billion automotive sensors will be sold globally in 2021. - Statistic.
The above and the preceding post should make clear that the market place for AKIDA technology is so expansive that trying to use the $US70 billion Edge market figure to determine a future share price for Brainchip is a completely flawed exercise. Renesas has sold 1 billion of one of its family of MCU's.
There are 9.7 billion sensors installed in motor vehicles each year around the world each one of which AKIDA can make smart.
Mercedes Benz has been using the AKD1000 in the EQXX and one might well ask why not keep using the chip rather than buying the IP? Mercedes Benz is a premium product and every part they use comes with a premium plus price. If you have ever owned one you will know this to be a rock solid fact. Brainchip states the only reason to buy the IP is if you want to save cost when needing more than 1 million units. I don't think Mercedes Benz will be that concerned when they produced less than 3 million units a year.
What I am saying is if Renesas dropped one node of AKIDA IP into the 32 Bit MCU and the royalty was 10 cents for an artificially intelligent MCU to make your 9.7 billion sensors smart that becomes almost 1 billion dollars in royalties.
I therefore repeat what I said above we have flawed intelligence upon which to estimate a future Brainchip share price but on all the flawed evidence it will be much more than we can predict with any certainty even at a very low level of market penetration simply because the market is enormous.
