Hi
@Diogenese is this what you were referring to as Mercedes and Valeo might be using Akida 2.0?
Yes.
Both have disclosed that they are using software to process sensor signals. I'm certain both have had access to Akida 2/TeNNs simulation software since the patent application was filed over 2 years ago.
Understandably, they would be reluctant to commit to silicon while the tech is so new and in a state of ongoing development. Software provides a way for new developments to be added without needing a soldering iron. My hope is that, longer term when the development plateaus, we may see Akida SoC IP integrated into the Nvidia drive processor silicon, and, if that door opens ...
On top of that, Sean recently disclosed that we had a new product line, algorithms, in addition to IP.
On the lighter side, some months ago there was MB's Magnus Ostberg's "Stay tuned" Linkedin response to my question about whether they were using NN software on the water-cooled processor of the CLA concept vehicle, ... and now Valeo are advising everyone to "Stay tuned" in relation to the SDV.
Of course, as the more sober commentators here will tell you, I could be wrong ...
