This Rising Company Is On A Mission To Solve Distracted Driving — Does It Have The Key To Helping End The Loss Of Billions Of Dollars And Numerous Irreplaceable Lives Every Year?

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga From texting to scrolling while driving, smartphones are a distraction that have made our roadways much more dangerous. A WHO report estimated that distracted driving is to blame for 1.35 million traffic fatalities worldwide each year. For companies that employ drivers, accidents caused by distracted driving costs them an estimated $60 billion annually. That doesn’t take into account the untold pain and suffering for friends and family who lose a loved one to a traffic accident. It's a problem that's expected to get worse as the use of cell phones continues to proliferate around the globe and by 2028, 5.1 billion people or almost two-thirds of the world's population will be a smartphone user. They aren’t shy when it comes to using their phones on the roadways either. In a recent survey by the National Distracted Driving Coalition 77% said that they use their phones while driving. That’s a lot of accidents waiting to happen and that is why SaverOne 2014 Ltd. (NASDAQ: SVRE), the Israeli tech startup, is on a mission to eradicate the scourge of distracted driving caused by smartphones. Through its recent global launch, the company is experiencing growing attention and traction. Taking Driver Safety To The Next Level The company develops a cutting-edge technological solution that prevents drivers from using distracting apps while driving. SaverOne’s technology automatically pinpoints and blocks only the mobile device located in the driver’s area. SaverOne’s technology is already installed in over 4,500 cars, trucks and buses and is integrated into the fleets of more than 100 companies, expanding from SaverOne’s homebase in Israel and now increasingly in the United States, Europe, the Middle East and elsewhere. SaverOne offers multiple compelling features that set its technology apart. It selectively blocks distracting apps such as messaging, while still allowing the driver access to hands-free navigation and other driving-related applications. What’s more, there is no action required on the part of the driver – the interface is intuitive, automatic, and doesn’t require consent. Another selling factor is that it doesn’t interfere with the other mobile phones of non-driving passengers in the same vehicle. Keeping Pedestrians Safe Too Beyond its driver-focused distraction prevention system, SaverOne, based on its unique technology, is developing a sensor for cars that are becoming increasingly autonomous, that detects Vulnerable Road Users (VRUs) near the car and at potential risk of collision. Like drivers, VRUs which could be cyclists or even pedestrians crossing the street are also susceptible to smartphone distractions, adding another layer of risk. Among VRUs, which are the cause of 70% of the deaths in urban accidents, 40% are indeed pedestrians. With their attention on their phones, they often simply don’t look where they are going. Add bad weather or line-of-sight obstructions such as a parked car to the mix, and it can spell disaster. SaverOne’s technology aims to fix that by enhancing the performance of current Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) sensors – which include cameras, lidar and radar – through its ability to deal with NLoS (non-line of sight) hazards, adverse weather conditions and low visibility. SaverOne's solution detects VRUs in the vicinity of the vehicle to avoid and prevent a collision. Combined with its in-cabin system, SaverOne hopes to play a big role in reducing the number of accidents and thus the costs associated with them. Regulation Coming Down The Pike Making drivers safer on the road is a big opportunity for SaverOne, but so are its original equipment manufacturer (OEM) plans, aiming to sell its system to all categories of vehicle manufacturers. In fact, SaverOne is already closely working with major truck OEM Iveco in Europe and hopes launch a product with them next year. In the coming years, that may potentially become a bigger part of SaverOne’s business as new regulations in Europe set in. Starting in July 2024, the EU Regulatory Committee on Driver Distraction will require OEMs to integrate solutions into vehicle systems that prevent driver distractions. By July 2026, all new vehicles sold in the EU will have to have a solution integrated into their systems. Similar regulation may make its way to the U.S. and other countries presenting a big addressable market for SaverOne. Cell phones have enhanced our lives, but they also have their downside, demanding our attention and distracting us on the roads. Distracted driver accidents cost the world hundreds of billions of dollars annually and cause untold heartache. By preventing distractions and avoiding obstacles, over the coming years, SaverOne’s advanced safety systems have the potential to play a key role in the solution.

News Release

Binance Launches Native CHZ, Will BorroeFinance Rise To Compete With BNB?

Blockchain Digest

Top digital asset marketplace Binance has proclaimed its intention to support and integrate the Chiliz (CHZ) 2.0 network. Meanwhile, BorroeFinance ($ROE) continues to print green candles, leading investors to question whether $ROE could rise to compete with one of the top crypto coins, BNB. Can the new DeFi project contend with the established crypto? Let’s find out! >>BUY $ROE TOKENS NOW<< Binance Lists The Native Token of Chiliz On October 20, Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, announced that it would support the Chiliz 2.0 mainnet. This move marks a remarkable development for Chiliz (CHZ) and the blockchain and digital asset ecosystem as a whole. Accordingly, it will open up new possibilities for fan tokens, developers, and cryptocurrency enthusiasts. Alexandre Dreyfus, a well-known figure in the blockchain and cryptocurrency sphere, also notified the crypto community about the successful launch of the new Chiliz chain in partnership with Binance. Besides providing support, Binance intends to list its own CHZ token on the Chiliz 2.0 blockchain and help users move all listed fan tokens to the new chain as smoothly as possible. Binance’s decision to support the Chiliz chain integration is a major turning point, as it brings together one of the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchanges with a project that is revolutionizing fan engagement and tokenization. This partnership opens up new opportunities for developers and projects to create innovative products that leverage the power of fan tokens in tandem with established exchanges. The trading experience of users would become smoother as they migrate to the new Chiliz layer. Meanwhile, CHZ surged alongside other assets on the crypto market in the past week. Between October 16 and October 22, CHZ rose 11.61% from $0.056 to $0.062. Given the recent development in the Chiliz ecosystem and the ongoing rally in the crypto market, analysts expect CHZ to climb 6% higher from the current price of $0.066 to $0.070. BorroeFinance Prepares For A 167% Jump While Binance has made a move that could set the price of BNB on a trip to the top, investors are keen on knowing if $ROE can easily rival it. BorroeFinance is a new DeFi project represented by its native token, $ROE. Many chartists and crypto veterans believe in the potential of $ROE to set a precedent that tallies with other established assets, describing it as one of the best cryptocurrency investments to capitalize on. What makes BorroeFinance a project worth investing in is its real-time problem-solving capabilities. BorroeFinance serves as a marketplace for content creators and users of Web3 to connect with buyers interested in their creations. Here, they can tokenize their future invoices as NFTs and sell them at discounted prices. Also, BorroeFinance, through its advanced capabilities, offers solutions to the problems of traditional finance. As a top DeFi project focused on Web3, BorroeFinance ($ROE) integrates the core attributes of Web3. These characteristics include transparency, inclusivity, and decentralization. Another reason $ROE is dubbed the best crypto to buy is its presale projection. The token is currently trading at $0.015 in the second stage of its presale. With its target price for the presale cycle at $0.040, $ROE is set for a 167% liftoff to attain this level. >>BUY $ROE TOKENS NOW<< Bears Resist The Binance Coin (BNB) Although the latest move made by the crypto behemoth Binance is expected to affect its native token, BNB faces pushback at a pivotal level. Since retesting $228 on October 23, BNB hasn’t been able to surpass this level. The inability of BNB to exceed this level is due to heavy resistance at the $228 threshold. Notably, BNB began its ascent on October 16, rising from $209.8 to the current price of $226.9. During this timeframe, BNB recorded an 8.16% growth in price. This rally comes amid the ongoing recovery in the general market. Predicting the future of the Binance coin (BNB), experts have shared their perspectives on the potential price level for the asset. Analysts say that BNB could hit $243 if it escapes the bears at $228. That would require a 12.6% increase in the price of BNB from the current level for a further surge to be possible.

Nearly A Third Of Advisors Are Seeking Alternative Investments For Their Clients — But A Self-Directed IRA Is Needed To Invest

Benzinga

By Rachael Green, Benzinga According to a recent survey by the Financial Planning Association, 28% of advisors were actively investing in alternatives for their clients while 19% said they were considering adding them within the next one or two years. The growing interest in alternatives comes as more and more investors look for more creative ways to protect their retirement accounts from high interest rates and increasing volatility in the stock market. Alternative investments like precious metals or real estate can help provide needed diversification to your retirement portfolio in markets like this one. But most IRAs from a bank or brokerage will only hold the assets that they sell so, for most investors, that means they’re limited to stocks, bonds, ETFs, and mutual funds. So if you want to add alternatives to your IRA, you’ll need to set up a self-directed IRA (SDIRA). Here’s how. Find An SDIRA Custodian The first step to opening an SDIRA is to choose a custodian that will hold the account for you. One of the biggest factors that determine which custodian you go with is what kind of assets they are able to hold. If you want to invest in cryptocurrency, for example, you need to make sure the custodian you go with can hold crypto. Beyond making sure the custodian can hold your preferred investments, you also want to look at what tools and services they offer to help you manage them. One of the unique advantages of The Entrust Group, for example, is the myDirection visa card. For investors in real estate, the IRS requires all expenses related to their investment properties to be covered with funds from your SDIRA. With most custodians, that means submitting a check request anytime you need to pay property taxes or utility bills, make repairs or pay for a renovation. It’s slow and usually carries a fee for each check. With the myDirection card, you can skip all that and just swipe a card. Instead of waiting and paying fees on checks, you can pay for expenses as they come up, paying just a one-time $25 setup fee and a quarterly administration fee of $9. Entrust’s online client portal also makes it easy to see the status of all of your investments at a glance, complete and submit paperwork online, and even browse new investment opportunities in the Entrust Connect marketplace. Named the best online portal in the space by Investopedia, it offers one of the most convenient and user-friendly platforms for managing alternative investments of all kinds. Decide Whether To Set Up A Traditional Or Roth SDIRA Just like a regular IRA, an SDIRA can be traditional or Roth.. And the best choice for you really comes down to your investment goals and strategy. Traditional IRAs are funded with pre-tax dollars, meaning your annual contributions can lower your taxable income right now, but you’ll pay taxes on it later when you start making withdrawals. A Roth IRA, on the other hand, is funded with post-tax dollars, meaning your taxable income right now stays the same. But since the money you deposit has already been taxed, it won’t be subject to tax again when you start making withdrawals, provided certain conditions are met. While there are multiple factors that go into this decision, it basically comes down to whether you expect to be in a higher tax bracket now or after retirement. Set Up Your Account Once you’ve chosen your custodian and figured out which type of account you want to open, the next step is to go ahead and open it. When doing that, you’ll typically pay a one-time account establishment fee, which can range from $50 to $360 or higher. After that, you’ll also pay an annual administrative fee, which can range from about $150 to $2,000 or higher. At Entrust, the annual fee is a flat $199 per year for accounts under $50,000 with just one asset or $299 per year for accounts with two or more assets. When your account is larger than $50,000 (excluding cash), you’ll also pay a small percentage on the asset value over $50,000. Fund Your New Account Once your SDIRA is set up, the only thing left to do is add your funds. You have three main options for this. The simplest is to just make direct contributions to the account via check or direct deposit. However, you can only contribute up to the maximum amount allowed by the IRS each year. That limit includes all contributions made to any IRAs you have. So if you’ve already maxed out your contributions for the year, your best option for funding your new SDIRA is with a transfer or rollover of your existing IRA or a previous employer’s 401(k). With a transfer, you are moving an existing traditional or Roth IRA over to your new SDIRA custodian. It’s important to remember that with a transfer, the account type must remain the same - so from one IRA to another IRA. Since the funds inside it aren’t paid out to you in the process, the account remains tax-protected, and you don’t have to worry about contribution limits. With a rollover, you can move funds from an employer-sponsored plan like a 401(k) to a new retirement plan or IRA. It can be direct: from one institution to another. Or it can be indirect: where the account holder briefly takes possession of the funds to facilitate the rollover. Whichever route you take, you can initiate the process online through Entrust’s Client Portal. For those ready to take their first steps towards a more diverse portfolio, the Basics Guide from Entrust offers a full breakdown of the essentials needed to get started with self-directed investing.

Sadot’s Strategic Pivot Looks Like It’s Paying Off As Analysts Forecast 360% Year-Over-Year Jump In Annual Revenue For 2023

Benzinga

By Rachael Green, Benzinga This month, Zacks Small-Cap Research published a report on Sadot Group Inc (NASDAQ: SDOT), maintaining that it believes the emerging agri-food supply chain solutions company is worth $4 per share. The news comes ahead of Sadot’s third-quarter earnings release – expected on November 9 – and cites new acquisitions, restructuring initiatives and other recent achievements in its valuation. Zacks analysts forecast $746.5 million in revenue for 2023, which would represent more than 3.5x growth over Sadot’s $161.7 million in annual revenue reported in 2022. High Hopes For Sadot After The Company Reported Its First Profitable Quarter In Q2 In Q2 this year, Sadot reported its first profitable quarter with consolidated revenues increasing from $2.9 million to over $160 million year-over-year. The milestone achievement was driven by the company’s recent move into the agri-food supply chain sector earlier this year. By the end of August, Sadot’s revenue for 2023 totaled $488 million, and Zacks analysts expected the company to exceed $746 million by the end of the year. That’s due, in part, to Sadot’s recent acquisition of over 4,900 acres of farmland in Zambia, including over 1,300 acres of corn, 775 acres of soybean, 270 acres of wheat, 180 acres of Hass avocado and 50 acres of Tommy Atkins mangoes. By September, the farm had generated over $500,000 in revenue from the wheat harvest alone. Sadot planted an additional 1,300 acres of corn and 775 acres of soybeans in October, with plans to plant the remaining farmland to generate additional revenue from the acquisition. The company is also in talks to develop a pilot program in collaboration with local farmers in the area, providing the seeds, fertilizer and other resources needed to make their own farmland more productive. The investment will not only support the local economy and improve the livelihoods of the approximately 1,200 farmers participating in the program but also create a potential future revenue stream for Sadot by providing warehousing and distribution services for the products they grow. Sadot is also continuing the restructuring of its restaurant segment as it pivots further into the agricultural and logistics side of the food commodities market. But it’s not completely cutting the segment. Instead, the company says it’s closing underperforming locations, re-franchising company-owned restaurants and adding new franchise royalty revenue by expanding its successful Pokemoto concept. The restructuring initiative is expected to reduce Sadot’s restaurant operating expenses and increase its franchise revenues. There are currently 35 Pokemoto units open (24 franchises and 11 company-owned) with a pipeline of more than 45 new locations already sold but not yet opened. At the end of September, Sadot announced a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (SEPA) with Yorkville Advisors Global. The SEPA grants Sadot, at the company's discretion, the option to sell up to $25 million of common stock to Yorkville, starting with a $4 million advance in exchange for convertible promissory notes that can be converted into shares of common stock or paid back in cash within one year.
