My guess is yes Prophesee will need to sign a contract should Qualcomm decide to use/develop the product which utilises brainchip given Prophesee is only a partner of ours not a commercial customer. (Unless the revenue is flowing through Megachips or Renesas which I hardly doubt)So on another note, do we think that now Prophesee has signed the multi year deal with Qualcomm that will force Luca to do as mentioned and make the Brainchip partnership a commercial one?
Hi @BravoHi Fact Finder, my favourite part would have to be this "when applied at scale throughout a vehicle"...because it doesn't mean when attached to a set of bathroom scales, it means when applied in LARGE quantities!![]()

Hard to read sarcasm. Maybe just me, I’m a simple manI think you missed the huge amount of sarcasm in my post..
I’m going with yes too.I'm going to say "yes".
i don't get how any significant player that is relying on our IP and is close to maket of their product has not signed an IP with plenty of time unless there is some unoffical agreement behind the scenes. It is great work digging up this information but Renases and MegaChips are no where near the Valeo or Mercedes arrangement so it's perplexing.I’m going with yes too.
@TechGirl posted an article last year which states Luminar are using Valeo’s Lidar sensors that will be included in some future Mercedes models.
Although it doesn’t guarantee they are using AKIDA we know that AKIDA is trusted by VALEO and that AKIDA can make Valeo’s senses smart.
"Just recently, Mercedes-Benz became the first automotive manufacturer in the world to receive an internationally valid system approval for highly automated driving (SAE Level 3) – a milestone in automotive development. The “Drive Pilot” highly automated driving system is to go into series production this year in the S-Class and the EQS. However, the lidar sensors for these models do not come from Luminar. Instead, Valeo supplies these components. Luminar, on the other hand, supplies its technology not only to Mercedes Benz, but also to Daimler Truck AG and Volvo. In addition, Luminar cooperates with Nvidia and Mobileye – so one can assume that their platforms for autonomous driving are equipped with Luminar lidars."

Recent vacancy at emotion3D.Was sniffing around emotion3D to get a better idea of where they're at.
Interestingly, I found this ARM Case Study and I'm wondering if our being a part of the ARM ecosystem is starting to slowly create the opportunities & introductions we hoped for
Plenty to like me thinks.

I also saw emotion3D commenced a collaboration with Ambarella end of 2020 and wonder if we may supersede or compliment this.

I found this while having a break from gardening and have no idea if AKIDA is involved but also had no idea about this possible use case.home industry insights industry news renesas’ new automotive intelligent power device enables safe and flexible power distribution in next-generation e/e architectures
Renesas’ new automotive intelligent power device enables safe and flexible power distribution in next-generation E/E architectures
JANUARY 18, 2023
Renesas Electronics (TSE: 6723), a premier supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, announced a new automotive Intelligent Power Device (IPD) that will safely and flexibly control power distribution within vehicles, addressing the requirements of next-generation E/E (electrical/electronic) architectures. The new RAJ2810024H12HPD is available in the small TO-252-7 package and reduces the mounting area by about 40% compared to the conventional TO-263 package product. In addition, the advanced current detection function of the new device allows highly accurate detection of abnormal currents such as overcurrent. Since the new IPD detects abnormal currents even at low loads, it allows engineers to design highly safe and precise power control systems that can detect even the smallest abnormalities.
“We are very pleased to launch a new generation of automotive IPDs featuring our new power MOSFET process,” said Akira Omichi, Vice President of Renesas’ Automotive Analog Application Specific Business Division. “Renesas will continue to develop IPDs that improve the safety and reliability of power supply systems and facilitate system development for our customers by offering system-level solutions with our microcontrollers.”
The new IPD was developed to address the growing requirements as E/E architectures continue to evolve. In a conventional distributed E/E architecture, power supply from the battery is distributed to each Electronic Control Unit (ECU) via long, thick wires from a power box consisting of mechanical relays and fuses. IPDs have a longer life and are maintenance free compared to mechanical relays, so they can be placed anywhere in the vehicle. As the automotive industry moves toward centralized or zone-oriented E/E architectures, IPDs are becoming an ideal choice for building efficient and flexible power supply networks since they use shorter, thinner wires. Renesas’ IPD in particular provides a more efficient, safer and smaller solution for power distribution control.
Key Features of the New IPD (RAJ2810024H12HPD)
“Power Distribution Box with E-fuse” Solution
- Single-channel high-side IPD
- Small TO-252-7 package (6.10 x 6.50 mm: excluding pins)
- Low on-resistance (Ron) of 2.3mΩ at 25°C (typ.)
- Highly accurate current detection at low loads
- Built-in charge pump
- Self-diagnostic feedback by load current sense
- Protection functions such as load short-circuit, overheat detection, sense current output, and GND open protection
- Supports 3.3V/5V logic interface
- Low standby current
- Battery reverse connection protection with self-turn-on
- Compliant with AEC-Q100 and RoHS automotive standards
Renesas offers the Power Distribution Box with E-fuse solution using an existing IPD. By replacing the conventional fuses in the power supply box with small IPDs and programming the fuse characteristics into the microcontroller, developers can optimize the wiring harness and improve reliability through current monitoring. This solution is part of Renesas’ Winning Combinations, which optimally combine mutually compatible Renesas devices that work together seamlessly to reduce user design risk and shorten time to market. Renesas offers more than 300 other Winning Combinations with a wide range of products from its portfolio. More information is available at: http://www.renesas.com/win.
Availability
The RAJ2810024H12HPD is available in sample quantities with mass production scheduled in Q1/2024. More information on the new product is available at https://www.renesas.com/products/au...otive-protected-and-intelligent-power-devices
