Hello, everyone, here from Las Vegas. And you might ask yourself why I’m starting the booth walk around via this little hole here kneeling on the ground. Well, the answer is a very simple one because I was watching the camera via this hole here in the in-wheel motor of this Verge motorcycle. This is a complete motor, no powertrain anymore in this bike, solid-state battery and NXP-enabled electronics. The i.MX 95 is operating the central brain of this 200-horsepower ultrafast sports motorcycle. So just for the geeks, 0 to 60 miles in 2.5 seconds. That is very close to a rocket launch. Fantastic motorcycle. And if you are an average motorcycle driver like me, I’m going to show you what NXP Electronics is doing to guys like me. We have here a smart i.MX RT-enabled helmet. We have the automated brake light in here.

So if the bike is decelerating, even if I’m not braking, but if my head is decelerating, the brake light switches on, I have noise cancellation in here. And if I fall off the bike or if I have an accident, this helmet is doing the automated e-call, so automatically calling the ambulance, even if I cannot do that anymore. So you have great safety, you have great driving experience. And we have partners like Enphase who are taking care that the electrons are getting back into the machine in 10 minutes via the solid-state battery, you are charging that device to have a driving range of 600 kilometers roughly. So you can imagine how much NXP electronics AI intelligent systems at the edge start changing the traffic experience.
