Brainchipped
Pretty sure Renesas claimed that the chip they taped out in December - the one with Akida Inside is ISO 26262 compliant. I remember also AM being asked during the Q&A of one of his presentations about ISO compliance and he said (paraphrasing) BrainChip wouldn’t have to worry about that.. that that would be taken care of in the higher scheme of things - perhaps by a company in the position to have already be seeking compliance on a whole range of items, a company such as Renesas.Was having a look at that ISO to see how hard it is....usually are
This is from the Synopsys website and the ISO is not an actual legal requirement...yet... but a best practice in reality.
Is ISO 26262 Required?
ISO 26262 is not required by law, but many car makers and suppliers follow it to show their commitment to safety and to improve their products safety. Sometimes customers and regulators might require them to prove they follow the standard. But even if it's not required, it's still considered a good practice and following it can improve the safety of car electronic systems and show customers, regulators and end users the company's commitment to safety.
Gives a pretty detailed run down on what it is etc.

What is ISO 26262 Functional Safety Standard? | Synopsys
ISO 26262 ensures automotive safety by mandating a functional development process to minimize risks from E/E system malfunctions in commercial vehicles.www.synopsys.com
When searching for the ISO I also saw Jan 23 article in Embedded about T2M getting the ISO for certain IP blocks...not us unfortunately haha

But it did make think of T2M as recalled reading something once that BRN engaged them in the early days for Akida.
I presume they still have a relationship / engagement to market and sell Akida as on the Chip Estimate website they had T2M still flagged but maybe outdated?...though is for the IP so would have to be from when we started moving to IP I presume.
Wonder what reach T2M has?

Neuromorphic Event-based Vision: Technology and Applications
Neuromorphic event-based vision is an emerging paradigm of acquisition and processing of visual information that takes inspiration from the functioning of the human vision system, attempting to recreate Nature's visual information acquisition and processing on VLSI silicon. In contrast to...cds.cern.ch
Never watched any of it, so glad it’s of interest.Good find Rocket. This is an excellent overview, starting historically and progressing to now and beyond.
Some might want to move forward in the video, straight to the Event Based focus.
Vision is one of the hottest themes that is going to rocket out of the Spiking Neural Network gates!

FRAME-BASED: A conventional camera takes an arbitrary number of pictures per second, usually around 30 fps, in which all pixels record in synchrony regardless of what is going on in the scene.
EVENT-BASED: In Prophesee Metavision patented sensor (discover our Evaluation Kits), there is a new kind of pixel. Each of them is powered by its own independent intelligent processing. This allows them to only records when they sense a change or movement. The information created does not arrive frame by frame. Rather, movement is captured as a continuous stream of information.
Prophesee sees between the frames, where all traditional frame-based systems are blind.

Qualcomm Shares a Sneak Peek of Its Snapdragon Digital Chassis Concept Car
When a Qualcomm employee turned on the car, a voice welcomed him by name — straight-up "Knight Rider" vibes.www-nbcsandiego-com.cdn.ampproject.org
When Yeh turned on the car, a voice welcomed him by name — straight-up "Knight Rider" vibes.
“As you can see, the vehicle just recognized me, said my name through a facial-recognition app, put on my favorite color scheme — in this case, blue — it’s got my seat position, and it’s playing my music,” Yeh said, pointing to each of these features inside the car.

Cars are becoming much more safe because they're more aware of their surroundings
Nakul Duggal, senior VP and GM of automotive, Qualcomm Technologies
Duggal added that the industry as a whole is headed more toward driver-assistance technology and not so much toward self-driving vehicles.
“A feature that automakers are starting to introduce is monitoring of the driver: Is the driver distracted? Is the driver drowsy? Is he impaired in any way? Can the driver take over and bring the vehicle to a halt carefully?”
Duggal said that the concept car showcases how an automaker could have a more personal relationship with the driver and allow certain transportation and delivery companies to have better management of their vehicles. He added that Qualcomm is proud to represent San Diego as the company enters the auto industry via an existing international network of partners and customers. Not as automakers, to be clear, but as drivers of technology merging more and more into future vehicles.
“What we are doing here is affecting the global automotive ecosystem," Duggal said. "We are now participating, really, across the world."
