Hello! Welcome to Uniti Update!
This week, we're at CES - the world's largest consumer electronics conference and we're in Las Vegas
And so, we are back with another Uniti Update and another year, we've had a great holiday
We hope that you did too, and we're really excited for 2018 and the year to come
So, 2017 was a great year - we had our first annual event U17, as well as launched our first product - the Uniti One
And thank you everybody once again for attending that event, as well as everybody who watched livestream
So, Uniti has already started 2018 in a really interesting way
So I think we should dive straight into it - so as some of you may know, there is an annual trade show in Las
Vegas called CES - the International Consumer Electronics Show. And with its
170,000 visitors, there is a lot of interesting things going on at the show
And traditionally, it has only been consumer electronics such as phones and computers and gaming consoles
Simply things you would expect at your local electronics store
However, now it's become much broader, expanding into areas such as
automation, including things like home robots, dog robots
ping-pong robots. And drones. And even bigger drones! And all kinds of other vehicles and electronics and new
technology.
And of course, a lot of automotive companies
This makes it particularly interesting for us since we are already selling a product in a consumer electronics environment
And it's important for Uniti to be a part of and lead this new approach to cars and define the space they're in
This is a great platform to learn about new
Products and services that could match and be part of our vehicle, as well as gather information for upcoming production
So at CES, we had a lot of
Strategical meetings with production companies to define the needs for the coming year
We are on our way to Trump Tower and who are we meeting there Kristoffer?
We're meeting AGC
And what does AGC do?
Manufacture glass
Automotive glass?
Yes
And in order to find the resources and partnerships needed,
We've also met with our key partners, for example in the battery industry and technology for autonomous driving
We've also been talking to a lot of new and existing partners for future collaborations
For example,
We met with Foresight - they make a quadrascopic camera suitable for autonomous vehicles
And in short, for those that don't know what a quadrascopic camera is -
it has these two regular cameras that
identifies objects in the visible light spectrum, and also these two IR cameras that detects objects in the infrared spectrum
Meaning that it can basically see in the dark
So, the reason these cameras come in pairs is so that you can compare the two pictures that they produce
and then measure the distance by the offset angle to any object in front of the car
And then, this system uses clever algorithms to determine if the object on the road is a danger to the car
and if it is, the system can tell the driver to stop or even stop the car by itself
And if this system were to be a part of Uniti's sensor suite, we would have it inside of the windows,
integrated into the car - meaning you will barely see it
And besides that, we met with our friends at IndieGoGo
that have one of the largest crowdfunding sites in the world
And recently, they launched an equity crowdfunding, and a cryptocurrency token sale initiative, and they were both a great success
And of course, we also met with Nvidia since they are huge in the autonomous driving sector
And they are actually developing the brain that is currently in our Uniti One prototype
So, we are at the Nvidia press conference here in Las Vegas at the MGM Hotel
the third largest hotel in the world
And we will see how it goes!
We dedicate our entire company
in devolving one of the most complex
and powerful forms of computing
to one of the most difficult challenges of all - self-driving cars
And so today, we are announcing that the world's first
autonomous machine processor
We call the DRIVE Xavier
So that's some great news from Las Vegas and the press conference
And meanwhile here in Sweden, with the new year,
We've also had some great new team members add on to the team, and I thought we should go around and let them introduce themselves
Hey guys, my name is Robin. I just joined Uniti as the CMO
I'm really excited to join the team here because I've been also following the journey for a very long time
So my aim is now to scale up the marketing team so we can create a global brand
So I'm Niki, I'm the new graphic designer at Uniti
what I've been working on here is to take our strategies and make them into a
visual language that we can share with our audiences across the globe.
For example, I just finished up our new business cards, and they look very good
I'm also managing a brochure that we're taking to a very big exhibition
It's so exciting and I usually have a friend with me
But he couldn't make it today. His name is Justin and he's a teeny tiny Chihuahua. I'll make sure that you see him soon
Hey, I'm Tom - newest member of the marketing team here at Uniti.
Prior to Uniti, I spent the past 20 years in marketing and advertising
Helping grow global brands, but I've also always had a passion for companies that are dedicated to positive change and social good
So I'm thrilled to come onboard here and help tell the Uniti story in a very innovative and impactful way
Hi, I'm Antonio. I'm the COO of the company. I joined Uniti after 20 years in the car industry
I'm here because I'm confident with my experience,
I can help Uniti realise its vision and putting in the streets as many vehicles as possible, as fast as we can
So as you can see, we came off to a great start of 2018.
We're growing our team
We're ramping up for
Production and getting the production partners we need in place
And we will keep you posted on all the interesting stuff happening here as usual
We're already working on the next episode
Here, you can see some footage of the Uniti One that's currently being sent to India
And then it's gonna go to Delhi for the Auto Expo.
It's getting all packed up!
And as always,
Like, comment and subscribe.
We'll see you next time. Thank you for watching!
