AUTONOMOUS DRIVING
Tesla is back on radar
The US company is the only car manufacturer to have relied entirely on cameras for autonomous driving. A mistake, as Elon Musk now had to see.

New York, Munich It doesn't work without radar. The automotive world is largely in agreement: radar sensors are necessary for safe, automated and autonomous driving. Only one person didn't want to believe that: Tesla founder Elon Musk. The CEO of the electric car pioneer has so far relied entirely on cameras.

According to experts, a spectacular turnaround is now in the offing. Experts expect that Musk will soon start installing a high-resolution radar system he developed himself in his cars. This is indicated by documents that Tesla has submitted to the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which monitors all radio wave-emitting devices in America, including radar devices.

The swing is a sensitive issue for the most valuable car company in the world. Back in 2016, Musk promised buyers he would develop a viable autopilot that will "allow your car to make money for you when you're not using it." A private robotaxi, then. But to this day he has not succeeded.

Autonomous driving: Tesla follows the competition
Now Tesla is taking a path that other manufacturers have long been taking with less full-bodied announcements. "All leading manufacturers use radar - only Tesla doesn't currently," says Klaus Schmitz, semiconductor specialist at the management consultancy Arthur D. Little. But that is likely to change soon. The US group is in the process of bringing the so-called Hardware 4 generation into its vehicles.

The radar system developed by Tesla itself is a modern, so-called 4D system. In addition to distance, speed and direction of movement, such solutions also recognize the height of objects. "In addition, such sensors also offer a significantly improved resolution," says Peter Fintl, chip expert at the consulting firm Capgemini.


Guidehouse analyst Sam Abuelsamid, who has been watching Tesla for many years, analyzed the filings filed with the FCC. "The new solution is significantly more powerful than previous systems," he tells Handelsblatt. There are more radar antennas, which allows a significantly higher resolution using special software.

Among other things, this could solve Tesla's problem with so-called phantom braking due to incorrectly interpreted camera data. For example, the old system sometimes interprets photos of people on truck tarpaulins as real pedestrians. "That doesn't happen with a radar," says Abuelsamid. "Tesla is catching up with other manufacturers."

Tesla initially did not respond to a Handelsblatt inquiry about the new sensor.

The camera recordings that Tesla has been using so far are evaluated and interpreted by artificial intelligence (AI) - analogous to a human driver who can only rely on his eyes. Musk has so far refused to install additional systems: "In my opinion, that's a crutch," he had said in the past.

Tesla in court over fatal accidents
Tesla's previous autopilot most closely corresponds to a so-called Level 2 system, i.e. a solution that only supports the driver (Level 5 corresponds to fully autonomous driving). Which doesn't stop Tesla from marketing the autopilot as a "Full Self-Driving Beta" (FSD Beta).

This is a problem for supervisors: In August 2021, the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) launched an investigation into the autopilot in 765,000 Tesla vehicles after around a dozen accidents. This spring, the company faces its first jury trial in fatal accidents blamed on autopilot.

Experts consider the installation of radar sensors essential for autopilot applications. "In the industry, it is undisputed that due to the technical limitations of purely camera-based systems, it makes sense to add other senses - i.e. sensors," emphasizes consultant Fintl. Especially at higher speeds, such as on the freeway, "radars are practically indispensable due to their long range".

Tesla has taken a zigzag course in autonomous driving: When it introduced Autopilot in 2015, it used hardware from supplier Mobileye, which included cameras, radar and ultrasonic sensors. After a fatal accident in 2016, the Israeli company withdrew from the partnership on the grounds that Tesla had abused the system.



With Autopilot version 2 from October 2016, Tesla introduced its own system that included eight cameras, a long-range radar and twelve low-resolution ultrasonic sensors, which are mainly used when parking. The company removed the radar sensor in early 2021, followed by the ultrasonic devices in 2022. To this day, some parking functions no longer work.

Tesla was able to save money through various technologies
"Tesla officially justified the removal of the radar with the fact that it doesn't really help. However, it can be assumed that the lack of chips played a significant role,” says analyst Abuelsamid. The deletion saved Tesla around $40 per vehicle - a lot of money in the tightly calculating auto industry. The resolution of the radar was also only low. By getting rid of the ultrasound devices, Tesla saved another roughly $100 per vehicle, according to the analyst's calculation.

However, existing customers who have paid up to $15,000 for the FSD beta package are unlikely to benefit from the new technology. Retrofitting the radar sensor and the necessary on-board computer makes "neither technical nor financial sense" for Tesla, says Abuelsamid.

For many owners, this should be annoying given the full-bodied announcements. “The vehicles sold to date will not perform nearly as well on autopilot as those with the new hardware. But Musk has told all buyers since 2016 that they have all the necessary hardware for Level 5 autonomous driving,” the analyst said. Now Musk cannot deliver what he promised. "Tesla has maneuvered itself into a real dead end."

I think annoyed might better be changed to class action inbound if this story turns out to be correct.

I have no idea about the fundamental commercial strength of Tesla but could it actually survive the quantum of damages that would flow. Every single Tesla buyer since 2016 would be a potential member of such a class action.

“For many owners, this should be annoying given the full-bodied announcements. “The vehicles sold to date will not perform nearly as well on autopilot as those with the new hardware. But Musk has told all buyers since 2016 that they have all the necessary hardware for Level 5 autonomous driving,” the analyst said. Now Musk cannot deliver what he promised. "Tesla has maneuvered itself into a real dead end."

By the by the earlier article about Nvidia and automotive giving up on fully autonomous driving till next decade is what I said way back in 2020. Until you have Peter van der Made’s version of AGI it cannot happen.

US 2 year bond yield which tracks US interest rate has rolled over. The 20ema has crossed below the 100ema with bond yield below 200ema on daily chart.

That signals the end of US Fed rate hikes. US 2 year bond yield now at 3.775% & US interest rate at 5.00% implies 1.25% of rate cuts are on the way.

My CPI calculations the other day indicated rate cuts to commence in July 26-27 at FOMC meeting. Futures indicate first cut in June.

The Fed Funds Futures indicate 1% rate cuts by January 2024.

• The markets are anticipating the March interest rate hike being the last.
• Some asset classes hit hard in 2022, such as bonds, gold/silver futures, Bitcoin, and tech stocks, are rebounding.
• As the fed eventually moves on to lowering rates, these assets could rally, making an attractive buying opportunity at current prices.

This is the reason BRN SP bounced yesterday along with other beaten down ASX tech/growth stocks.

Rule of thumb for stock valuations is +9% rise for every 1% decline in the interest rate. 1% rate cuts = +9 % valuation. Beaten down high beta stocks will rise more than this as market sentiment improves & 'risk on' increases.

Term deposits will be affected & Judo Bank currently offering 4.6% for 12 months will decline to 3.6% when RBA cuts interest rate by 1% to be same as US interest rate. Will be better to invest in dividend stocks paying 4-5% franked dividends & 'risk on' growth/tech stocks.

The shorters would be aware of this which is why I think SP got bullied down recently. They are running out of steam because it has become oversold on daily & weekly charts. Interest rate cuts will also work against them as DCF valuations will increase.

Big money has commenced rotating into tech/growth stocks. Technology, Consumer Discretionary & Communications sectors tend to perform better during the upcoming period. Bonds also do well due to interest rates declining. We are currently in Stage 1 of the business cycle & about to enter Stage 2 shortly when US Fed pivots along with the RBA. Should be similar to post Covid market bounce without the steroids.

May be a bit bumpy next few weeks prior to market rising. Invest smart & take care.

Thank you for your lovely thoughts there Mr Pope and even though I'll turn 66 years old later this year if I survive that long, there still lives within me a sniggering 12 year old. Is it just me or do some of us just never grow up?

From attached article:

Finally, I would like to remind you that despite the fact that investors are still negative and keep talking about 2008-style collapses, the NASDAQ Composite is up 12.7% since the beginning of the year. Too bad no one is talking about it.

As always, people continue to read the news in the newspapers (which have to sell copies, and fear is the best-selling emotion) and look at the markets through the rear-view mirror, suffering from recency bias (last year was negative, so next year will be negative, it's all negative).

Remember, these are just distractions.

Qualcomm's flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip sees key details leak​

BYOLIVER HASLAM
PUBLISHED 4 HOURS AGO

Qualcomm's next flagship chip is starting to leak in a big way.

Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 flagship chip was only announced in November 2022 but it looks increasingly likely that we will see its replacement sooner rather than later. The first real Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 leaks are here, and they're super interesting.

The next big thing from Qualcomm is shaping up to be some stiff competition for the likes of Apple's A-series iPhone chips, not to mention Google's Tensor silicon. A leak appears to have outed that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will have a whole new configuration while also dropping support for 32-bit entirely.

That information comes via Twitter and leaker Kuba Wojciechowski who shared that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will come with a 2+3+2+1 next-gen ARM configuration.

They go on to report that the chip, dubbed SM8650, is currently using one of two codenames inside Qualcomm; Lenai or Pineapple. They say that the launch is expected to take place in late 2023, but we've heard before that it is unlikely Qualcomm will go a full year before replacing the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.

According to the leaker, the chip will have the following configuration, including new Titanium cores that are thought to be of the ARM A7XX variety.

• 2x Arm codename Hayes (A5xx) "Silver" cores
• 3x Arm codename Hunter (A7xx) "Gold" cores
• 2x Arm codename Hunter (A7xx) "Titanium" cores
• 1x Arm codename Hunter ELP (Xn) "Gold+" core

Wojciechowski did say that they don't have any information about how those new Titanium cores will differ from the current Gold cluster, but they do add that the "separation seems to be pretty clear in the software." With that, they said that they believe that it's possible the Titanium cores are simply configured with more cache or are clocked higher than their Gold counterparts.

The same leaker also notes that the new chip drops 32-bit support entirely, although it's unlikely anyone will notice at this point — Android has been moving away from 32-bit for some time now.

What that all means for users of the phones that will be powered by these chips, we don't yet know. But performance was strong with the chip that this one will replace, so hopes are already high that we could get something pretty great here.

The value of this article is the confirmation that @Diogenese has been telling the absolute truth about analogue compute. It ain’t going to be a competitor at the Edge any day soon:

“That is because of the attachment to consistency, predictability, he said. "If you want your analog hardware to do the same thing each time... You've got a real problem with all these stray electric things and stuff."

So all these startups that we find claiming they will be on the market soon all they have to do is iron out some minor issues with fabrication have a long hard road to travel funded by ever diminishing venture capital till they realise they turned the wrong way down a one way street.

Perhaps counterargument wasn't the right choice of words.
Yes, if those unrealised losses were to become realised this would more likely favour Steves thoughts.
Janet Yellen needs to come out and say ALL depositors money is guaranteed and this would ease fears and a possible run on the banks.
This leaves bond investors with huge losses as is the case with Credit Suisse.
Interest rates started to increases when the war in Ukraine started. No sign of that ending any time soon and may even escalate.
Prior to that inflation was already starting to rise due to Covid restrictions causing supply shortages.
Inflation is not being caused by a roaring economy it is being caused by a lack of supply.
The US Fed cannot control Government spending and I believe they have no choice but continue to raise rates.
I'll leave it there for fear of upsetting Dreadbot and boring others to tears
Kind regards
