Hi
@TechGirl, I love this part!
"But the story doesn’t end there – work continues on the development of many VISION EQXX technologies for application in future series-production vehicles."
Fits in very nicely with what Mercedes-Benz have stated previously which is:
“Working with California-based artificial intelligence experts BrainChip, Mercedes-Benz engineers developed
systems based on BrainChip’s Akida hardware and software,” Mercedes noted in a statement describing the Vision EQXX. “
Which also fits in nicely with what Markus Schäfer said in an interview on the 8th January, that Mercedes plans to “make sure we have custom, standardized chips in the car", rather than using a thousand different chips.

Mercedes, for example, plans to use fewer specialized chips in upcoming models and more standardized semiconductors and to write its own software, said Markus Schäfer, a member of the German automaker’s board that oversees purchasing.
In the future, Mercedes will “make sure we have custom, standardized chips in the car,” Mr Schäfer said in an interview Wednesday. “Not a thousand different chips.”
For most of last year, established automakers like General Motors and Ford Motor operated in a different reality than Tesla, the electric car company.
