Really. So do we have connections with Luminar for the ADAS too?
Not downramping here guys, just don't get why there wasn't an inkling of a mention of our groundbreaking technology. And we can't use the NDA playcard here as an excuse, as MB have mentioned us previously.

The Mercedes-Benz E-Class is getting a giant touchscreen, TikTok, and a selfie camera
MBUX gets a major upgrade.www.theverge.com
There is a camera on board that tracks the drivers eye movements to ensure they aren't watching the passenger video screen. There is potential use of Akida here.
Bad news is that hey Mercedes seems to have been dropped in some capacity.Not clear if it has been scrapped altogether or only for certain commands.

The function hasn’t been dropped. It’s just been improved so that you don’t have to prime the system by saying “Hey Mercedes” every time you want to do something.

It seems Mercedes recently purchased a stake in luminar.
Luminar jumps 19% after Mercedes acquires stake in the company and plans to use its tech for self-driving cars
Shares of Luminar skyrocketed after Mercedes-Benz announced plans to use the technology supplier's lidar tech for new autonomous vehicles.

Hi Pappagallo,
Totally agree with this, It's system improvement. Hence, the 'always on' function is essential.

Holding onto what I've got
I wonder if the AI is now smart enough now to figure out the speech pattern of the driver to understand if driver is talking in a general sense to a passenger(s), or to the car itself eg, Turn the heater up 5 degs vs TURN the heater up 5 degs

Always on, now where have I heard that mentioned recently??
The AKD1500 uses the latest features of BrainChip’s extremely energy-efficient, event-based, Akida™ AI IP in combination with the GlobalFoundries’ ultra-low leakage, proprietary FDX™ process technology platform, to deliver an ideal solution for always-on, at-sensor applications or other low-power embedded applications in AIoT, industrial, consumer and automotive markets.
In always-on, at-sensor use cases, Akida can completely offload feed-forward networks without the use of a CPU, which enables extremely energy efficient intelligent sensors. For other low-power embedded applications, the CPU solely performs sensor fusion processes or runs the application with Akida managing all the AI acceleration to significantly minimize CPU workload and system load, freeing up the MCU for other general-purpose computation."

Brainchip doesn't supply sensors, they make them smarter. With that in mind I don't think we should've expect to be named in the MB presentation.
I have 3 questions.
1. Why do we expect akida to be a component in an OEM system when MB declared they worked directly with Brainchip to develop Akida to suit their needs.
2. Is it not logical that MB have their own proprietary tech of which akida is a part of and other OEM systems connect into.
3. If MB have their own proprietary tech as 2 above, why would they disclose that to the world. It's their secret sauce after all.

I unfortunately recall that last year Mercedes announced they would present on three new technologies one of which was neuromorphic and asked people to vote for the one they would like to hear about first.
I suggested that Mercedes like lawyers would not have asked this question unless they had focus grouped it and had a statistically accurate idea of which technology would win. In other words they asked this question believing they knew the answer.
I said that when neuromorphic won that Brainchip voters probably ruined Mercedes Benz’s plan and they would resolve that by simply delaying the neuromorphic presentation until it would have been given in any event which I suggested could be six months away.
Earlier this year (2023) Mercedes Benz confirmed that they would deliver the neuromorphic presentation but did not provide a date and I suggested it likely could be March if memory serves me correctly.
It is just my opinion of course but my poor logic tells me that if Mercedes’ Benz has a competition to build anticipation around a series of presentations they would be unlikely to lessen the impact of such presentations by revealing the same information at earlier events.
I also based on poor logic suggest that as Brainchip said late last year they were continuing to work with Mercedes Benz that in all likelihood full implementation aimed at implementing AKIDA technology at scale is still in design or at least still under test if design work has been finalised.
If this poor logic stands up then there is nothing at all to be read into the absence of a discussion of neuromorphic in any other presentation.
Then again it could be that Brainchip has been caste aside by Mercedes Benz and Brainchip are delaying advising the market and removing the Mercedes’ Benz logo because they know it would cause distress to shareholders.
My opinion only DYOR

Ok, seriously. The baiting and flaming on all sides needs to stop. It's also against the rules, and you are using up my time. Another round of deletions, and the next lot of baiting and flaming ends in given some time out. I don't care what side of the debate you sit, this activity just ends up turning it all to shit and once again, undermines the forum.

I think I'm starting to see that they are overwhelmed with activity and then you feel like your chasing your tail and the tasks are not done in the order they need to be to get the sales finalized. IMO
I take this as highly highly positive.
