Note though, that there are many private companies, and start-ups doing the same thing, (advanced AI) however I personally do not believe that this type of company will mark POET's initial entry into AI.

 Also, Waymo (Google) has teamed up with Fiat Chrysler in the EU, as has Tesla teamed up with Daimler.  When the auto "majors" in the EU are making serious development connections with Google, and Tesla, then the smartest AI chip developers on the planet are not about to overlook the cutting/bleeding edge technology that POET has available, and apparently someone over there is not.
