Even nicer if AKIDA is in there. Not a single mention of neuromorphic tech in the article, but it is all a bit vague. At 30% more efficient than Volvo perhaps Merc are keeping the secret sauce very secret. We'll know soon.Mercedes-Benz Concept CLA Class is huge tech in a small, bright package - Autoblog

Mercedes Benz are our client, and have been for awhile now, they will do what they wish with our technology, whether that means
doing everything alone or working in with the best in the business, that is, the brilliant team/s that Peter and Anil have assembled over
the journey, specializing in all and everything to do with SNN's.
To assume that Mercedes research teams haven't worked in with us would be extremely foolish in my opinion..I expect our technology
will end up in the Mercedes range of vehicles over the coming releases, time shall tell if I'm right or wrong.

The naysayers have it "backwards," Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang told reporters on a recent visit to his company's headquarters in California.
The mass deployment of AI and faster computing will in the end diminish the need to go to the world's data clouds, he argued.
AI's superpowers will turn your laptop, car or the device in your pocket into an energy-efficient supercomputer without the need to "retrieve" data from the cloud.
"In the future, there'll be a little tiny model that sits on your phone and 90 percent of the pixels will be generated, 10 percent will be retrieved, instead of 100 percent retrieved -- and so you're going to save (energy)," he said
Good point!

"...The Concept CLA Class also represents the first time we’ve seen the upcoming “MB.OS” in action. It’s Mercedes’ own operating system and will be rolled out on all-new models in the next few years. Mercedes says MB.OS “is the basis for an unparalleled user experience” allowing artificial intelligence to help provide a new level of personalisation. The triple-screen set up on the dash is a new layout, different to the three screens of the ‘Hyperscreen’ and ‘Superscreen’. Sitting beside the screens is a new climate control function which incorporates the temperature readout within the vent."

"...Inside, there are two key features we need to talk about.
First, there’s a new infotainment system that runs on an operating system that Mercedes patented.

Second, and most important of all, Mercedes came up with a new safety feature called Child Presence Detection, or CPD for short.
It mitigates risk of children being left in the vehicle by mistake when it’s too hot outside."
I work with children and nothing else is as litigious or worrisome for a company (from a pr point of view), as harm to a child. For this feature I would assume that network availability would not be required for operation. Maybe only for notifications to first responders.Introducing the brand-new Mercedes Concept CLA Class

If we are in this feature, then I would say our tech is validated at a very high degree. I.e care for a child's well-being.

Interesting location for the water cooled chip. Next to the accelerator. Can attract a lot of dirt, dust and French fries down there. Not to mention a few beer cans.

Yes I mentioned this in a post last year? Come out and say, we are using Akida Tech in all our 2024 models and there will be enough holders to buy a lot of cars. Easy way for them to sell cars in Australia
Bravo
If ARM was an arm, BRN would be its biceps💪!
Remember this article published in March 2022, which discussed the new MB.OS. This was off the back of all the excitement generated by the Vision EQXX of which we KNOW we were involved in the "Hey Mercedes" voice control system.
I've highlighted my fav bits and bobs in red.

LOS ANGELES – Mercedes-Benz will roll out a new infotainment architecture called MB.OS that will replace the MBUX system in all of its vehicles, likely starting with the next-generation MMA compact car platform.
With its new MB.OS architecture, Mercedes-Benz is pairing with ultra-HD video developer Unity to bring gaming realism into the automotive world. It also is upgrading the “Hey Mercedes” personal assistant’s intelligence and interactivity into a 3D “Star Avatar” that will be more akin to a “digital butler,” said Magnus Östberg, Mercedes-Benz chief software officer.
Using the recently launched “Hyperscreen” digital display that spans from pillar to pillar (pictured above, but with the existing MBUX variation found in the Mercedes EQS), the MB.OS system will allow for 3D navigation that can zoom from satellite view down to 10 meters. It also will account for what time of day it is to ensure an accurate real-time display.
“It’s your environment right in front of you. It’s as much reality as possible in a navigation system,” Östberg said. Navus will be the technology partner for the navigation engine.
Östberg, speaking at a media briefing here, said Mercedes has been using machine learning to examine the accuracy, problems, and frustrations with the existing MBUX infotainment system and its “Hey Mercedes” voice controls.
The next-generation interactivity will be able to curate a playlist, and provide eco-driving coaching and hints while the vehicle is in motion, said Benjamin Kuhn, senior manager UX/UI design for Mercedes-Benz R&D North America. The flow of conversation with “Hey Mercedes” will be “more fluid” and be able to understand close-enough driver commands, rather than require specific wording to activate a function. The system will learn and improve its interactivity with each specific owner. And global iterations in software permutations and upgrades will be beamed via over-the-air updates.
On the audio front, Mercedes will equip its vehicles with a Dolby Atmos spatial sound system, which provides a full 3D experience. “It will be like sitting in the middle of your favorite band or orchestra,” Östberg said. The system will allow for a full selection of streaming-audio and -video content.
MBUX as found in the 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLB-Class
Why has Mercedes chosen to use an entry-luxury vehicle for a new software launch, rather than a flagship vehicle? It wouldn’t be the first time, as Mercedes launched MBUX in the A-Class platform, including the GLB pictured above. According to UX/UI senior manager Kuhn, those entry-luxury buyers tend to be younger, and thus better at acclimating to a new system – and finding bugs.
Mercedes announced last year that it is hiring an additional 1,000 software engineers to bring MB.OS to life, as well as develop cloud computing and other R&D functions. Why so many new employees?
“We want to own the user interface and APIs, the architecture and integration, because then we own the luxury experience,” Östberg said. “We are owning this responsibility and not outsourcing. If we relinquish data, we relinquish data security.”
This is in contrast to various automakers, including General Motors and Volvo, which are turning to Google and its Android Automotive infotainment suite.
Of course, Mercedes needs software partners to develop apps. But in owning the UI, Mercedes will also own customer’s data. Östberg, who came to Mercedes from automotive supplier Aptiv last August, said Mercedes will observe strict data privacy. If a car changes ownership, Mercedes erases the car’s memory of the previous owner. The data and settings go with the person’s Mercedes Me account, which means certain attributes can be pre-programmed into the next Mercedes a loyal owner acquires.

If i am not mistaken that is the approach of Akida. You see in the demos that there is a percentage likely of the result and a decision is made based off that highest likely outcome. This approach then learns and improves on chip.
'As one example, speech recognition requires tolerance for natural tonal variation, mispronunciations, sloppy grammar, stuttering, repetition and other speech flaws. Traditional computing, developed over 60 years and part of our everyday lives is based on precise matching. 1 + 1 always equals 2.
Finding close but not exact matches requires massive mathematical statistical calculations and billions of high-speed computations, requiring computing power that just can’t fit in small packages or powered by small batteries.
But somehow, animal and human brains do it effortlessly.
Neuromorphic hardware mimics brain methods to vastly increase AI computational capacity in a much smaller package using much less power.
Brainchip's Akida™ performs AI in a single chip and requires only fractions of 1 watt to operate. It is highly energy efficient.

very hopeful as this is the system that will go through all their vehicles for at least 5-7 years
