Hope so!It looks like maybe some are selling to get back in at 7.5 but it's not depressing the share price so that's encouraging too

[senttothegallows] 22/11/2024 14:22

If Guident gets valued in a similar manner to the companies mentioned in today's update TEK's current price will prove an absolute bargain imho

[2dinvestor] 22/11/2024 13:57

Might get interesting, once those placing shares clear?

[maytrees] 22/11/2024 09:09

Good morning
I am back in lol!

Uk investors are asleep to the autonomous vehicle market it's happening right now business have recently raised money at 10's of billions valuations and we are sat with Guident who could monitor all those vehicles. Staggering imho

“ We are looking forward to Guident realising its first mover advantage in the rapidly developing AV industry and the potential contribution it can make to saving lives."

“ The Total Addressable Market (TAM) for automotive active safety systems (which includes Driver Monitoring) is projected to exceed $25 billion by 2030[1].”
Guidance is in my opinion the jewel in TEK’s portfolio with first mover advantage in what is going to be a massive new industry. The IPO has the potential “to blow the bloody doors off” TEK’s current value.

[senttothegallows] 22/11/2024 08:22

Or Elon buys Guident

[chester9] 22/11/2024 08:06

It's a good concept but surely with Elon best buddies with Donald then fully automated acceptance is only a few years away.

[senttothegallows] 22/11/2024 07:57

Guident will be one of the hottest IPO'S in 2025 imho

[weaverbeever] 22/11/2024 07:56

Bell just announced 4 mil loan

[senttothegallows] 22/11/2024 07:46

Investors are asleep here Guident is an incredible opportunity in one of the hottest sectors in my opinion

[2dinvestor] 22/11/2024 07:36

Not sure the share price will move because of this Reach rns update TBH. It's still worth a read, though. Most people are focused on the land, but marine AVs, that could get very interesting, and that's just one bullet in the update.

Tekcapital plc



Portfolio Company Update: Guident Ltd



Tekcapital Plc (AIM: TEK) the UK intellectual property investment group focused on creating valuable products that can improve people's lives, is pleased to provide updates on portfolio company Guident Ltd ("Guident").

Guident has made significant progress in the last few months as follows:



· Jacksonville Transportation Authority issued a contract extension for several Guident AV projects.

· Upcoming planned RMCC Deployments at Michigan State University and University at Buffalo are under negotiation.

· Proposal submitted for an Autonomous Vehicle, including RMCC for the City of Peachtree Corners, Georgia, USA.

· Three proposals were submitted for Guident's Autonomous Surveillance and Inspection Robot monitoring service

· Various Teleoperation proposals are being made in the USA, Asia, and Europe.

· Implemented Redundant Multi-Network connectivity between Private and public Mobile Networks based on 4G/5G, Satellite GEO, and LEO orbits.

· Enhanced User Interface (UI/UX) for Multi-Vehicle and Multi-AV Fleets

· Integrating advanced Safety with AI-Based Incident Risk Level (IRL) Algorithms

· Demonstrated cross-ocean low-latency remote operation of an AV in the US controlled by an RMCC in Europe.



The adoption of autonomous vehicles (AVs) across the United States is accelerating, and Guident welcomes the accompanying regulatory developments that put the safety of passengers and the public at the forefront of autonomous vehicle fleet rollouts.



Market Traction and Strategic Outlook

· The Total Addressable Market (TAM) for automotive active safety systems (which includes Driver Monitoring) is projected to exceed $25 billion by 2030[1].

· Autonomous vehicles are expected to transition from embryonic to the beginning of mainstream adoption across global markets. Waymo LLC is now providing 150,000 paid AV trips a week[2] and Tesla, Inc. is planning to launch its robotaxi service in 2026 [3].

· Safety remains pivotal to the adoption of AVs for all stakeholders, including government bodies, manufacturers, consumers, technology developers, and AV fleet operators.

· Guident believe that in the future all autonomous vehicles are likely to be mandated to utilise remote monitoring and control. Many states including California, Florida, Michigan, Arizona, Nevada, and Louisiana already require remote monitoring and control of AVs, with additional states and federal legislation likely to follow suit.

· Guident believes that they are well positioned to play a significant role in the AV ecosystem and the safe scale-up of AVs with their first fully operational, ultra-low latency remote monitor and control teleoperations center with back-up low earth orbit satellite monitoring.



Clifford M. Gross, Ph.D., Executive Chairman of Tekcapital plc, commented:



"We are very excited about the recent progress of Guident and the performance of its leadership. We believe the timing for Guident's potential IPO next year is quite opportune considering the transformative capital market events in the AV industry during the past sixty days. We are looking forward to Guident realising its first mover advantage in the rapidly developing AV industry and the potential contribution it can make to saving lives."



Market Overview

· AV landscape: Key regions (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific) are driving AV adoption due to technological advancements, supportive legislation, urbanization trends, improved safety measures, and enhanced mobile connectivity solutions. From passenger vehicles to fleets of AV shuttles, deployment is increasing at a rapid pace.

· Growth drivers: Urban mobility needs, increasing investment in AV infrastructure and technology, and regulatory mandates for enhanced safety measures.

· Challenges: Safety concerns remain at the forefront of regulatory and consumer perception. Incidents during AV testing have underscored the need for reliable human oversight and responsive control mechanisms[4]. Widespread understanding of need for "human in the loop" monitoring and remotely controlling a vehicle when edge cases occur.

· Guident's Role: Positioned to capitalise on a critical gap in the ecosystem by addressing remote monitoring and emergency intervention requirements.



The Need for Safety in AV Deployment



· Regulatory Mandates: a number of states in the USA already require remote monitoring and control AVs as a condition for allowing AVs on their roads. A major recent milestone with California passing such a requirement in September 2024[5].

· Liability Risk: Manufacturers and AV fleet operators face legal and reputational risks due to accidents. Remote monitoring and control centers mitigate these risks by providing immediate human intervention capabilities, helping lower premium costs for insurance.

· Public Trust: Safety enhancements foster public confidence in AVs, accelerating adoption.

One company in the States I believe it was said was worried with driverless cars of the accidents between them and pedestrians', and were thinking of pulling out. Its really up to the insurance companies and down to regulations.
With TEK normally if the asset value against share price keeps rising, so do in time the share price - may much belated - do follow the asset value in time and do rise.
Is there more mileage in the asset value rising more ?

At present there are NO US Federal Regulations for Autonomous Vehicles

When Google AI is asked

Are there any federal regulations for the operation of autonomous driverless vehicles ?

You get:



AI Overview


No, there are no comprehensive federal regulations for the operation of autonomous driverless vehicles in the United States. Instead, states have the freedom to create their own regulations. This has led to a patchwork of regulations across the country.
Some states, like Arizona and Texas, have enacted laws that promote the use of autonomous commercial vehicles. Other states, like California, have proposed laws that would require human drivers in autonomous vehicles for at least the next five years.
The federal government has realized that it needs to re-evaluate the motor vehicle standards that were drafted with human drivers in mind. The government has also considered passing legislation, such as the SELF DRIVE Act in 2017 and the AV START Act in 2018.

Some of the challenges that regulators face include:
Data ownership and liability

It's unclear who would be legally responsible in a collision involving self-driving cars.

Patchwork of regulations

Different states have different regulations, which could lead to different outcomes depending on where an accident occurs.


So buywell adds:



===== Federal Regulations for Autonomous Vehicle Operations =====

Background:

A lack of Federal Regulations mandating what operators of driverless Autonomous Vehicles or Autonomous Vehicles with a driver must do in order to achieve an optimum operational safety;
has unfortunately resulted in :

The US public does not trust autonomous vehicles (AVs):
Due to --
Fear
According to a 2023 AAA survey, 66% of US drivers are afraid of fully self-driving vehicles, and only 9% trust them. This fear has not decreased since last year.
In order to regain the trust of the American people SAFETY must ALWAYS come FIRST where
driverless or with driver Autonomous Vehicles operate on public or private roads and property

Hence the following basic regulations for the operation of Autonomous Vehicles will be mandated forthwith:


1. All Autonomous Vehicles shall be continuously monitored from a designated operational control and monitoring centre.

2. Passengers inside any Autonomous Vehicle shall be able to speak to the operational control centre at any time during their journey

3. Every Autonomous Vehicle shall have a unique ID for every journey. The ID shall detail the State , the operator and control centre, the AV unique vehicle identifier , journey details from and to with a time stamp when passengers enter the vehicle and the journey starts PLUS a time stamp when the journey ends after the passengers exit the vehicle.

4. The data from 3. above shall be transmitted in real time to a safe hub where it can be kept and stored for future use if needed.

5. In order to achieve 1. above , multiple connections shall be required , these shall be chosen in order of first -- lowest latency then strength to meet operational requirements.
A minimum of 3 connections shall be provided including
a) Low latency satellite
b) Public Networks
c) Private Networks

a) Shall be a latency of less than 25mSec
b) Shall be a latency of less than 35mSec
c) Shall be a latency of less than 35mSec

An automatic switching hierarchy between a) b) and c) shall be provided in order to achieve continuous monitoring and speech availability at all times to passengers in the Autonomous Vehicle.

The time taken to switch connectivity shall be less than 10mSec

The latency and signal strength of a) b) and c) shall be continuously measured and recorded and the data logged and filed in a secure manner and facility.



6. In the event of a Autonomous Vehicle malfunction , or a collision with another vehicle or person or object , or the Autonomous Vehicle stopping or wandering from lane to lane in an erratic manner ;

The operation control centre shall inform the passengers that it is taking temporary control of the Autonomous Vehicle and then drive the Vehicle to a nearby place a safety, the passengers will then be updated with the situation and what actions they must then take.

7. Any accident, vehicle malfunction or incident requiring operational control centre intervention shall be forwarded immediately to the newly formed NHTSA Autonomous Vehicle Reporting Centre with all data logs/files see 3, pertaining to the journey undertaken and an explanation of the incident and actions taken , injuries to passengers, damage to vehicles or other persons or objects together with all video footage and recordings from the cameras and sensors on the vehicle involved, together with all audio conversations that took place on the journey.

8. Further to 3. above , a historical record of every Autonomous Vehicle shall be kept by the operation control centre of that vehicle. This record shall show the following:

a) All modifications made to the vehicle after entering operational service --- this shall also include a record of all parts changed however ancillary in nature together with all software changes to the vehicle

b) A historical data log of each and every journey made by the Autonomous Vehicle which includes all journey data recordings and audio recordings , with a total distance covered on each trip together with a total distance covered by the Autonomous Vehicle since entering service

c) An incident data log shall be made and kept for each Autonomous Vehicle --- Once an Autonomous Vehicle has had two incidents logged that vehicle shall be taken out of service and be fully retested for any abnormalities. For every subsequent incident this retest procedure shall be repeated.

d) If an Autonomous Vehicle is involved in four incidents it shall be taken out of service.


9. The Operation Control Centre shall be responsible for contacting emergency services and
any other organizations required to attend an incident involving an Autonomous Vehicle which results in the need of such services. This could be for accidents or collisions or for issues with passengers welfare, such as strokes or heart attacks or problems with the vehicle itself or other vehicles or persons or any other circumstances which require the attendance of emergency service or other 3rd parties .
In order to put passengers at ease when travelling in an Autonomous Vehicle , this safety responsibility of the Operation Control Centre shall be explained to passengers both before bookings are made and again before the Autonomous Vehicle commences its journey after the passengers have boarded.

How much of the GNIP update was within TEKs view, before that raise last week, I wonder?Looks positive to me.

[paleje] 19/11/2024 08:25

Lots of businesses see better potential prospects under Trump. We'll see.

ST issued another supportive note on Tek yesterday, his spot nav being 23.3p with a buy recommendation, I know he's a serial issuer of these, the logic stacks up but his timing is poor and he rarely challenges management abilities or motives. Nonetheless a fair punt at this level perhaps.



........That said, the capital raise should help unlock the value in Tekcapital’s $22.4mn (8.4p a share) holding in Guident’s equity and loan notes, a sum that is worth as much as the company’s own market capitalisation of £17.4mn (8.25p). A successful IPO at anything close to that carrying valuation would act as a strong catalyst to narrow Tekcapital’s deep 68 per cent share price discount to my spot net asset value (NAV) per share estimate of 23.3p. I last advised buying the shares, at 9.25p, and maintain that advice ahead of Guident’s IPO. Buy.

[dennisbergkamp] 15/11/2024 15:15

I’ll prob buy more to ave down and then dump the lot by mid ‘25. On principal

Although who has those these days! Well I know I do

[trustedinvestor] 15/11/2024 12:02

Agreed - no point bailing out as guident IPO is due soon and microsalt shares lock in period expiring early spring.

[mrphil] 15/11/2024 11:27

Why oh why did I add to these in 2022 & 2023, now down 65% on them after today's fall.
