Akida would have massive advantages in pacemakers because of our cyber security application.
Pacemakers like most medical devices are designed around function - they're built by good people who do good things, so they don't take the intent and capabilities of bad people into account.
As such, pacemakers are vulnerable to cyber attacks and you can actually kill someone remotely. So akida would have multiple benefits. The health benefit and the security benefit.

You can't. That's pinned to the top for those who join for the first time and might possibly be looking to start reading into the Brainchip story

The WSJ interview mentioned how Akida could use a sensor attached to the chip to identify something the five senses would indicate might be wrong with a patient.

Perhaps another version was streaming before. There is however an area of the boot that blurred out (picture included)I can’t make anything of it but I did find this article:

Interesting end to the closing auction.
Instead of the dreaded 1 share sale crashing down the sp by a pip
we had the unusual situation of one share remaining to hold up the price.
First time I have seen this. Maybe the bots stuffed up or we have a fairy
godmother bot on the side of the goodies.

Duelling bots - is that like twerking?

Interesting article about Musk and his stubbornness to go the way of Lidar.
Musk has the view that humans don't have Lidar and can still drive why does he need Lidar???
Musk Looks Increasingly Isolated as Automakers Embrace Lidar
Usage of the technology is spreading, with 17 automakers planning to produce lidar-equipped car models.ByColin McKerracher

From Bloomberg.com
Elon Musk is skeptical of putting lidar sensors on vehicles, but a growing number of his competitors are quietly adding the technology to their lineup.
For those new to the topic, lidar, short for light detection and ranging, is a sensor technology that sends out laser pulses, then measures the time it takes for them to bounce off an object and return. That data is used to calculate how far away things are and create a three-dimensional map of the objects in an area.
Lidar’s ability to map surroundings as well as measure object velocity makes it a good complementary sensor in partially or fully autonomous vehicles. Lidars are unique in that they offer long and wide visual ranges. Falling costs and a boom in supply are driving greater adoption — there are now over 150 lidar producers globally and there have been a spate of recent public listings, by Velodyne, Luminar and Innoviz, among others.
Lidar is commonly used today by the companies that are trying to build mobility services using fully self-driving vehicles, such as Waymo and Cruise. For example, Waymo vehicles operating in California and Arizona typically have five lidar sensors to help build a wide field of view.
Musk likes to point out that humans don’t come equipped with lidar and can still drive. He uses this analogy to defend his company’s attempt to develop self-driving software algorithms capable of autonomous driving based on vision.
However, this hasn’t stopped parts of the industry from taking up the technology (even Tesla may be trialing it). Lidar usage is now spreading beyond specialized vehicles and into more run-of-the mill safety features like lane-keeping assistance and automatic emergency braking. In industry parlance these are advanced driver assistance systems, or ADAS, and are quite separate from autonomous vehicles. The additional sensor input can help improve reaction times and accuracy for these features, but of course there are hardware costs to adding it.
As of January, according to the latest tally from BloombergNEF, 17 automakers globally have announced a total of 21 lidar-equipped passenger car models, either in production or coming soon. This number will increase as systems like GM’s lidar-based Ultra Cruise are added to specific models.
Announced lidar-equipped passenger vehicles by price
Source: BloombergNEF, company statementsSome car companies are adding lidar on their vehicles even if their current software isn’t making full use of the capability. The idea is that future iterations of driving software will be able to tap into the sensors without physical upgrades to the vehicle being required.
More partnerships also are cropping up. Mercedes announced in January that it was working with Luminar and plans to integrate the technology into its upcoming production vehicles. Luminar announced a similar deal with Volvo in mid-2021, and BMW partnered with Innoviz for its upcoming iX model. Similarly, GM has tapped California-based Cepton as a lidar supplier.
As with many technology adoption stories, China is leading the race. A remarkable 70% of the current and upcoming lidar-equipped models in BNEF’s tally were from Chinese automakers. There’s an electric vehicle angle here, too. Many of the auto companies integrating lidar into their production models are also China’s homegrown EV brands, from groups like Nio, Xpeng and Li Auto. EVs are now where buyers get access to the latest technology of any type, not just the drivetrain. That’s helping create a tailwind of adoption as the Chinese EV market moves beyond the policy-dependent phase that characterized recent years.
As the price of lidar declines further and consumers come to expect more advanced safety features as standard, we will likely see more automakers add the technology to their vehicles. This will mean high-end vehicles at first, but eventually should include automakers’ most popular models.
Agree, a big name would help. We often discuss the effect of a household name announcement on the share price and revenue generation but I wonder what effect it would also have on other potential customers.
The Mercedes' press release certainly helped with validation of our product in the market. I would love to have been a fly on the wall at many other companies and heard what their reaction might have been, both those that already know us and those that don't.
The announcement of a household name like Mercedes but one actually signing an IP agreement would really help not only the share price, but perhaps more importantly the marketing effort. Get a couple of big names and things will start to snowball as other companies start fearing being left behind.
