BRN Discussion Ongoing

[Diogenese]

Yeah I've never been a big fan of running ADAS on GPU's.

"I think that the foveated lidar will probably allow autonomous driving in excess of 100 kph because it will enable the receiver to detect distant objects with greater certainty than vanilla lidar"- Correct. MB might be pivoting to do a trade-off. Take the power hit for the extra lidar range for now to get approval to go over 100 km/h

It sounds like Volvo have missed a trick if they are using software NN to interpret reflected lidar pulses in EVs. it's not so important with ICEs because refilling is not a problem, but EV batteries take a long time to recharge.

MB can take the variable pulse rate lidar pulse transmitter from Luminar and use Akida in the receiver because Akida can process the reflected signals more efficiently than a software NN.

In the EV business kilometers count. It is a major selling point, so an extra 30 km per charge is important.

Combining Akida with the Luminar variable pulse rate laser may be MB's secret sauce.

Friday Afternoon Fun,

Well ....... If I was a Eccentric Billionaire, how funny would it be to place say a $40,000,000.00AU , At Market Buy order ( No Limit ) into the system, spread over say 5 international broking firms simultaneously.

Followed up by say a further $10,000,000.00AU , executed in same way through the German market.

Just for Shits & Giggles.

* Not Financial Advice, as everyone gets their giggles in different ways.

All Merry Hell would ensue.

Esq.

A reply from Tony that I just received. Not that I needed any reassurances, but seriously can we stop the rumours.


Brainchip remains engaged with Mercedes.

Nice to see them engaged will be better to see them married on paper contract though!! LOL Vlad.

Haha, would you like to do the honour of being their celebrant.

 

[Dozzaman1977]

Nobody is talking about changing direction with in 1.5 months. This was done over 12 mths ago which is about the same period where nothing new has been said or reported by MB, Valero, Auto Journo's etc about Akida.

Valeo's Scala 3 performance is far superior than the luminar product.
If Akida is NOT in Scala 3 ill be more than happy to buy you a slab of beer Proga.

The best thing is there is 1 billion euros of orders already for SCALA 3, thats 1.63 billion AUD
So just say Brainchips joint development agreement with Valeo signed on (8TH JUNE 2020) is for 2.5% (just a guess) of Scala 3 revenue........ thats $40.7 million. Hopefully its a larger perecntage.

Akida generation 1.0 was a success, not a failure like many WANCA'S state.

Grayscale AI. Software company so I wonder whose neuromorphic processing hardware they are using for those kind of improvement figures.

The Stack.​

Our sensor fusion system combines data from various types of sensors such as smart video cameras, radars, and event-based sensors.​

We use neuromorphic-processing hardware to accelerate and solve real-time fine-grain location & logistic problems using Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM).​

With up to 1000x less energy usage than a traditional processor.​

Up to 100x faster, too.​

We believe that time is the missing ingredient in unlocking the next wave of AI models. Using novel models such as Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs), we can take into account the temporal aspect of incoming streams of data.​

This paper is from 3 months ago and it states there is only 1 feasibly available neuromorphic processor.

Oh well ... Nothing to dance around to! ..... But at least it was a GREEN day and on a Friday!!!!

Have a great weekend Chippers

Engaged how? What does that actually mean?

What rumours? It was only me speculating which I highlighted from the start so even the dumbest person wouldn't misunderstand. Some people need to get a grip . Too my people are jumping at shadows.

The unemotional technical conversation I had with Dio with input from others, proved it was feasible for MB to be using IRIS as their Lidar in their 2024 vehicles not that they actually are. It also showed there was scope for Akida to be used in IRIS not that it is.

You know you wont (yet) get an answer to that... so why ask lol

Maybe they are sharing chocolate brownie recipes? In any case, a persistent engagement between the two companies is positive IMO.

[Humble Genius]

Shout out to Chapman for his tireless efforts promoting Brainchip. Without him I'd miss half of the posts connecting BRN to a myriad of current and potential partners. I use the term partners very loosely. Cheers mate.

The best!

Even has his own University

I wanna see the pre-nup!

Further to the above post I see emotion3D will be premiering / exhibiting their product Cabin Eye software stack at the Mobility gig in Munich in Sept. MB will also be there.

emotion3D GmbH at IAA MOBILITY 2023

emotion3D GmbH: all informations to the appearance

But too soon for Akida I suspect.

Had a look at their jobs and one indicated they went with Ambarella over Jetson possibly (snip below). As indicated in the presso posted above, they were testing both it seemed.

Question for @Diogenese if possible or time. Given Ambarella CNN by looks, is it possible for Akida to be piggybacked / ported to the emotion3D product to run CNN2SNN off the back of the Ambarella process?

Edit: Looks like Texas Inst also tucked in there.

TIA.

Hi Fmf,

Well emotion3D think it is possible. There is a possibility that they will be using an Akida-equipped Raspberry pi at the demo. The initial purpose was announced as being to demonstrate in-cabin analysis.

https://brainchip.com/brainchip-par...to-improve-driver-safety-and-user-experience/
Laguna Hills, Calif. – February 26, 2023 – BrainChip Holdings Ltd (ASX: BRN, OTCQX: BRCHF, ADR: BCHPY), the world’s first commercial producer of ultra-low power, fully digital, event-based, neuromorphic AI IP, today announced that it has entered into a partnership with emotion3D to demonstrate in-cabin analysis that makes driving safer and enables next level user experience.
...
“We are committed to setting the standard in driving safety and user experience through the development of camera-based, in-cabin understanding,” says Florian Seitner, CEO at emotion3D. “In combining our in-cabin analysis software with BrainChip’s on-chip compute, we are able to elevate that standard in a faster, safer and smarter way. This partnership will provide a cascading number of benefits that will continue to disrupt the mobility industry.”

Thanks Dozzaman. I'd be reading the 2nd paragraph a few times not the 1st paragraph you circled.

Either party can terminate the agreement. In the previous 4c's, can you point out the payments covering BRN's joint development expenses from the 8 Jun 2020 agreement.

This time last year I was copping it for being confident Akida was going to be in Scala 3 and vehicles using MB's new MMA platform lol. I don't think I went as far as offering somebody a carton but considering how confident I was, I better go check.

Now I'm just not sure. The clone of silence they're using actually works.

Personally, HVAC looks our best chance to kick things off.

@chapman89 would you like to settle this for us please, tyia

@chapman89 would you like to settle this for us please, tyia

I wasn’t going to post this, but it is on the public domain (LinkedIn)

So Valeo posted an interview with their Innovation Chief the other day, I’ll post the link. The interview was about a range of things and one of them being SCALA 3.

DVN-L Interview: Benazouz Bradaï, Valeo AD Innovation Chief - DVN

Dr. Benazouz Bradaï is Research & Innovation Director and Master Expert in Autonomous Driving at Valeo. In that role, he’s made major scientific and industrial contributions. He is also a…

www.drivingvisionnews.com

Anyway I commented on it and said and I quote-

“
Great interview.

I suspect Valeo has achieved this through breakthroughs in Al and #neuromorphic”

And I received a public comment back from somebody who has worked at Valeo for over 27 years and he responded with-

“
yes we did a lot with #neuromorphic
#SNN

I’ll attach the photo below.

Now you have to ask yourself, is there any other company out there with a commercially available neuromorphic IP?? We all know it’s Brainchip, come on everybody, I know we want to see the announcement that it’s offical, but this is disruptive technology, world first, and as the former CEO said and the current CEO, that these companies see akida as the key differentiator. Now who knows if it will ever become public knowledge? Maybe one day, but from the original offical release of Valeo SCALA 3 that a lot of us watched, and the question was asked, is this using Brainchips akida, and they both looked at each other and didn’t know what to say, and said we can’t say who it is, we may mention it in a few months…..
They’ve never disclosed the IP they are using.

Here’s the photo below, it was only 2-3 days ago this happened!
I hope this brightens up everybody’s weekend
