Firstly thanks again TechGirl I was registered but slept in.
Secondly while we know about Mercedes I was pleasantly surprised with how freely the CEO Sean Hehir spoke to the relationship between Mercedes and Brainchip. This expanding openness for my money speaks to a growing confidence that Mercedes is a solid adopter and the CEO and Brainchip are feeling increasingly confident about where it is going. In the beginning it was very much egg shells all round about what can we say, we need to be careful, we do not want to upset Mercedes etc; I could not be happier about this relationships future for the company.
Thirdly when asked about mobile phones he said they are not focused on this area he did not say they were not working in this area. The former CEO Mr. Dinardo made numerous references to mobile phones but the one thing that sticks out relevant to Sean Hehir's comments is this comment 'mobile phones are an interesting use case. You have to hit them at the right time in their development cycle. A development cycle for a new phone is about 4 years.'
Now to be clear I have not gone back to find Mr, Dinardo's exact words this is just my memory of his words which I have no doubt is accurate as to the message he delivered but is not intended to be taken as word perfect.
So if we consider that the final commercial AKD1000 with improved performance came out only last year and the development cycle is four years and you need to hit it at the right time and you are chasing the best opportunity for getting income through the door even if you were engaged with a mobile phone maker today you would not be focused on them because they would not presently provide the best pathway to revenue.
My opinion only DYOR

Hi FF,
Most welcome, Haha you slept in, I made sure I got up, I set 5 alarms just in case I hit snooze to many times.
Yes I thought he spoke more freely when talking about Mercedes which was nice to listen to, I believe every time Sean speaks he gets better & better at getting his message across. Sean has a great voice & he speaks at the perfect pace.
Yeah I wasn't too worried when I heard the smart phone comment, as if in the very near future phone companies aren't going to be knocking our doors down, foaming at the mouth to get their hands on the best, cheapest most awesome planet saving, power saving chips
This is Samsung, Nvidia, Apple, Google, Intel, LG, HP, Tesla trying to get their hands on our tech once the penny drops
