What great advertising for Mercedes Benze Drive Pilot! These complaints (see above) about Tesla falsely advertising that its Autopilot and Full Self Driving features are capable of operating autonomously, when in fact they can’t will only help shine more light on what Mercedes-Benz Drive Pilot offers by way of comparison.

Michael Harley from Forbes describes what he thinks about Tesla's Autopilot versus Mercedes-Benz Drive Pilot.


YEEEHAAAWWW!



Extract

Drive Pilot is much more advanced than the other autonomy systems I have tested. While Tesla's Autopilot is impressive at first glance, Mercedes-Benz Drive Pilot offers several more layers of safety and capability. The interface of the Mercedes system is more transparent (e.g., the head-up display shows the driver what Drive Pilot is about to do), and it relies on a much more comprehensive suite of sensors and cameras for all-weather capability and redundancy. It takes only a few minutes to become familiar with how it works. And, by the end of the test, I completely trusted it – I pulled out my phone and took a few pictures!

As mentioned, Drive Pilot is coming to the U.S. market soon. Mercedes-Benz is planning on testing the system on our roads in early 2023, with hopes for certification shortly after that. It can’t come soon enough — it will make my daily commute a much safer and more pleasant experience.

Esq, we know Intel have heaps of options for neural compute, not just Loihi


It's interesting that Intel are adding it into desktop processors though. How it relates to BrainChip ? Well we are targeting edge, but personally I am quite fond of having a neuromorphic chip in my PC.

We do have patents that cover this set up I think (@Diogenese can prob explain better if I'm wrong)

US11157800B2 - Neural processor based accelerator system and method - Google Patents

A configurable spiking neural network based accelerator system is provided. The accelerator system may be executed on an expansion card which may be a printed circuit board.

Either way it's interesting and a story to watch

Hi Ui,

Claim 1 of this patent is very narrow (the breadth of a claim is inversely proportional to its length). When it comes to patent claims, words are the enemy - the fewer, the better.

To infringe the claim, the infringement must include all the items included in the claim in the configuration defined in the claim, and having the same interoperability as defined in the claim.

1. A spiking neural network accelerator system comprising:
a spiking neural network comprising digital hardware logic
configured to perform functions associated with artificial spiking neurons, dendrites and dynamic synapses, wherein the spiking neural network comprises:
a plurality of neuron circuits,
the plurality of neuron circuits being digital neuron circuits,
where each of the plurality of neuron circuits has a unique address; and
a plurality of synapse circuits,
the plurality of synapse circuits being digital synapse circuits,
where each of the plurality of synapse circuits has a respective register configured to hold a respective unique address of each of the plurality of neuron circuits connected to the synapse circuit,
wherein each synapse circuit generates a value representative of an interval between input spikes,
wherein each neuron circuit forms a one-to-many connection to at least a portion of the plurality of synapse circuits,
wherein neuron circuit-synapse circuit connectivity is configurable by connection data received from a host computing device, and
wherein each neuron circuit integrates and combines each individually produced value from each connected synapse circuit to produce an output value that is representative of a biological neuron membrane potential,
wherein communication of a spike event in the spiking neural network is expressed as an address of an originating neuron circuit that originated the spike event,
the spike event being placed on an Address Event Representation (AER) bus, and
wherein an efficacy of a respective connection between a respective neuron circuit and a synapse circuit is determined by autonomous learning by the digital hardware logic operating without software involvement; and
an interface to connect the spiking neural network to the host computing device,
wherein the spiking neural network is initially configured by the host computing device via the interface to make connections between the plurality of neuron circuits and the plurality of synapse circuits of the spiking neural network to perform a specific neural computation task.

There are many 3rd party AI accelerators and co-processors, so without reverse engineering the Intel arrangement, we can't really know if their arrangement conforms to the BrainChip patent claims.

It is a great article, in spite of its age. But what motivated JWPM Consulting to do such an in-depth article in the first place?

We did see this article a while back - if I'm not mistaken, one of our regular posters (Marketman) from HC wrote it.

Diogenese ..... Many thanks for sharing your knowledge......

Just a quick question for you, given your depth of knowledge about such matters ....

I was just wondering, is there anyone specific within the BRN Co organisation, that actually records or is specifically employed to check out these types of patents (follow up's) for potential infringement purposes ........ or is that just something our patent attorneys follow up on or do they then engage as part of their services, other suitably qualified experts to follow up on same and report back to them and the Co.

Hi Xray,

Yes. We have an IP/Patents manager in Perth, Milind Joshi,
https://www.linkedin.com/in/milindjoshi17/?originalSubdomain=au
who liaises with out US Patent Attorneys about patenting BrainChip inventions. It is normal practice to maintain a patent watch on competitors and on relevant fields of technology.

Hi Bravo, I wouldn't be surprised that Elon now acknowledges, that he must change his one-eyed approach to ADAS.
Could also be the reason, that he has pulled out of his twitter arrangement, and may put his money into something that will keep Tesla dominant in the EV market. Dare I say Akida

INFINEON, BRAINCHIP, NVIDIA – THE QUANTITY OF CHIP WILL REMAIN IN 2022

TABLE OF CONTENTS :
- INFINEON – STRONG QUARTERLY FIGURES WITH INCREASED FORECAST
- BRAINCHIP – PARTNERSHIP WITH ARM SORGT
- FOR FANTASY NVIDIA - WAITING FOR THE QUARTERLY NUMBERS

BRAINCHIP – PARTNERSHIP WITH ARM ENSURES IMAGINATION
The world is changing from the analogue world to a digital world. Sensors are playing an increasingly important role here. An iPhone has seven sensors, for example for face recognition. A car now has around 70 sensors. Conventional semiconductor chips are currently still being used for this. In the future, the chips will become more intelligent and will use artificial intelligence (AI) to evaluate the data. This is called Edge AI. BrainChip has taken on a pioneering role here. The company offers AI-on-chip processing and learning through a neuromorphic processor called Akida, which mimics the human brain.

Mercedes-Benz uses the capabilities of the chip in its Mercedes Vision EQXX. By using the chip in the device, the massive power consumption and the associated emissions from data centers are reduced, which is good for the climate. In addition to the energy efficiency, the latency is significantly lower, the chip learns directly and data security is significantly increased. The latter succeeds because the chip does not require an internet connection. In contrast to competing products, a CPU is also not required. Most recently, ARM entered BrainChip's partnership program. This partnership could be a big hit, because ARM processors can be found in almost all cell phones, tablets and other IoT devices. It can be assumed that ARM will put the Akida chip through its paces. Should ARM be convinced and acquire licenses from BrainChip, it would be a quantum leap for the Australian company.

Investors need patience here. However, according to a study by McKinsey, the growth prospects for this area are very good. The market is expected to grow 17% annually by 2025. In addition to the automotive sector, the company itself sees good growth opportunities in industry and in the smart home sector. After the shares of all chip producers weakened, the BrainChip share price also fell. In mid-January, a peak of AUD 2.34 per share certificate was paid before the consolidation set in, which pushed the share down to AUD 0.765 by mid-June. From the low, the stock was able to gain more than 78%. The value is currently at 1.13 AUD. Closing prices above AUD 1.365 once again bring significant upside potential.

Infineon, BrainChip, Nvidia – Chipmangel bleibt auch 2022 bestehen

Der Chipmangel ist nicht nur in der Automobilbranche allgegenwärtig. Zuletzt konnte die AOK ihren Versicherten keine elektronischen Gesundheitskarten mehr ausstellen, weil die Chips fehlten. Die Halbleiterbranche soll laut McKinsey bis 2030 jährlich um 6-8% wachsen. Der Besuch von Nancy Pelosi...
