Safety and technology innovator joins leading automotive trade association
Real-time digital alerts and lifesaving mobility solutions to protect roadside workers and first responders
WASHINGTON, DC – Alliance for Automotive Innovation today announced safety and technology innovator HAAS Alert has joined the organization’s expanding roster of auto manufacturers, suppliers, advanced battery manufacturers, autonomous vehicle producers and semiconductor makers.
Chicago-based HAAS Alert connects tens of thousands of emergency and roadway fleets and assets to millions of personal vehicles via HAAS Alert’s Safety Cloud®.
John Bozzella, president and CEO of Alliance for Automotive Innovation said: “Alliance for Automotive Innovation is proud to welcome safety innovator HAAS Alert to the association. HAAS Alert’s technology will lead to a more connected and collision-free driving environment – a mission everyone can get behind.”
Jeremy Agulnek, Senior Vice President of Connected Vehicle said: “Joining the Alliance for Automotive Innovation is a powerful step toward making connected safety solutions standard in all vehicles. We’re proud to work alongside industry leaders to build smarter and safer roads.”
How it works: HAAS Alert’s Safety Cloud® digital alerts are delivered to compatible vehicles and mobile navigation apps using cellular networks to improve roadway safety by instantly alerting drivers to approaching and nearby emergency and public works vehicles, giving them time to make safer, smarter driving decisions. ADAS and automated driving systems are also leveraging Safety Cloud as a ground-truth input into their perception software stack.
The digital alerting platform delivers real-time safety notifications from emergency vehicles, connected infrastructure, work zones, tow trucks, and other active road hazards to millions of drivers every day. Compatible consumer vehicles can also deliver and receive disabled vehicle car-to-car alerts, which notify drivers when a disabled vehicle is up ahead.
“We joined to help bridge the gap between public safety and the automotive industry – so everyone from policymakers to drivers can better understand and protect those working on the roadside,” Agulnek continued.
