Just to recap, op sleeps in their car at work to save 1 day/month worth of pay and 2 days/ month of commute time.

They may or may not have a house/ apartment they pay for, and may or may not have a family.

Op works for a vaporware IOT mattress company that is basically making a product that is a sleep number bed but on the cloud.

The commute time is 40 hours a month that he’s not spending in his car….oh wait a minute, no he’s still spending 40 hours in his car but he’s sleeping instead of driving.

I saw Vim Fuego on Shark Tank last night, hocking his new product, the Trunk Bunk. It's a thin roll of fabric you can use to sleep in your car! And it's stain-resistant to a very particular type of liquid (not pee). For the modern techbro on the go stay.

Unfortunately, he let out a big, nasty belch in the middle of his pitch and it wafted over to the sharks. Mark Cuban said he could taste it and that it smelled like broccoli and soy sauce (Fuego got Asian take-out?)

Anyhoo, Cuban was like WTF that's nasty and immediately went out. Kevin O'Leary made some lowball royalty offer but Fuego started yelling about how he was a pioneer of efficiency or some poo poo and walked away empty-handed.

The camera followed and saw Vim Fuego take a big poo poo on the curb outside (i.e., his bathroom)

For those in the UK, I'll translate. He went on Dragon's Den and his product was the Boot Bed with a special protection for when yourself give the ol' Queen of England. He farted out a beans, scallions, and rhubarb cloud. All the landed gentry gasped and Vim Fuego pitched a willity gillity and then churned out a scouser on the tarmac.

poo poo, you're right. So this is not going to appeal to the live in the car crowd

You think that would be the target audience because they have to sleep in the most uncomfortable positions. Maybe op could be head of research or something like that

What if op is monitoring his wife's sleep while he's in the car

Or maybe they could synchronize the settings on the two mattresses. Do the mattresses have co-op? Can you both have the same settings and adapt to each one's individual figures???

There is literally no reason you couldn't run the model (or an "almost as good" model) locally. You can get MCUs that can run CNNs more than large enough for your application for ~$15-20 USD a unit, you'd be able to easily keep the power draw under 10w which would be minimal compared to the pumps etc.

This is of course assuming that using AI is actually beneficial. As an alternative you could also use AI to derive a more traditional algorithm that would fit on a ~$0.20 MCU that will run on nanowatts of power. That way you can still use AI in your marketing without actually having to deal with the expense of running AI either in the cloud or on an edge device.

For data collection you could still have your mattress refuse to inflate unless its app connected during initial setup, and then again if it hasn't fed back data for X days.

I am available to consult lol.

I'd like to know how far the smart mattress has been trained on non human objects on the bed.

Does it know how to raise ridges around a body pillow so it doesn't slide around?

Can it detect human shaped objects and add simulated shuffling movements to it?

What about those pillows shaped like a human arm?

Is there a VR mode that detects when you have your VR headset on and the largest open area in your living situation is the bed and like sets the edges to your movement area? Like say in the back of a car?
