There has been a lot of confusion recently regarding whether Seeing Machines driver monitoring system, located in the rearview mirror, will be in all VW Tayron models.

VW has confirmed to me that: “The ‘driver monitoring camera’ is standard in Europe (including the UK) for Tayron.

They even set me a photo of Seeing Machines DMS camera in the Magna rearview mirror, which illustrates this article.

The rearview mirror will be rolled out across the entire VW car range sold in Europe from now on, to meet Euro NCAP protocols and EU regulations. In addition, Audi has just launched the Q3 with Seeing Machines DMS in the rearview mirror.

Given the rise today and the increasing volume of buys, I think it’s possible that at least one shrewd fund manager has checked out my left-field Mitsubishi bid thesis and found it plausible. Expect more such rises as those contracts come rolling in and more funds take the plunge.

Separately, I was impressed by this case study link found by a private investor called ‘Klick’ on the Seeing Machines website that shows its technology being used in an industrial setting, at a reversing mill owned by Logan Aluminium. Mitsubishi can surely make great use of this technology in various industrial applications. Incidentally, Mitsubishi through its JV Primetals Technologies produces equipment for reversing mills.

Does anyone else think it a mere coincidence that this case study is coming out now? It makes sense to me that Seeing Machines and Mitsubishi warm up their respective investors for a deal.

The writer holds stock in Seeing Machines.
