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.

Criminal Gangs Find Opportunity In The Revival Of Air Travel Post-Pandemic

MarketJar

The exhilarating return of air travel post-pandemic brought not just passengers back to airports, but also a less-anticipated group: criminals. With the aviation industry keen to get back on its feet, the rush to rehire has inadvertently laid out a welcome mat for criminal gangs. Fresh alarms are being raised by the US Public Interest Research Group and other international agencies regarding the nefarious attempts by criminal gangs to recruit airport workers. Peter Nilsson, the leader of European law-enforcement group Airpol, underscores the magnitude of the problem, pointing to the rapid post-pandemic rehiring in airports as a vulnerable point. His concerns are echoed globally, from the U.S. Transportation Security Administration to the U.K.’s National Crime Agency. Even a United Nations panel ranks this menace among the top security issues faced by civil aviation. Insider threats are not a novel concern. Yet, the current situation feels markedly different. The aviation sector’s haste to restore its pre-pandemic vibrancy, coupled with the recruitment of thousands with minimal experience and security knowledge, has expanded the problem's scale. For criminal organizations, these inexperienced new hires present perfect targets, with their susceptibility increased due to factors like low wages and growing dissatisfaction in a still-recovering post-pandemic world. From baggage handlers rerouting contraband-filled suitcases to customs officials getting bribed to turn a blind eye, the industry's vulnerabilities have been laid bare. This year alone has witnessed a spike in serious security incidents, surpassing the total for the entirety of 2022. The root of the challenge seems to lie in the unprecedented pressures on resources. Rapid recruitment has outpaced the provision of essential security training. Furthermore, ex-employees, despite being on furlough, still possess access codes to sensitive areas, thereby amplifying the risk manifold. But it's not just external groups orchestrating these crimes. Instances from Miami to Manila highlight that some staff, even those entrusted with ensuring safety like the TSA security officers, have succumbed to temptation, turning pockets into treasure troves. To address these challenges, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is rolling out a new mandate that requires physical screening of staff at airports, similar to the checks undergone by passengers, to bring the US closer to meeting international standards. The TSA is also enlisting the help of Liberty Defense Holdings (TSXV:SCAN) (OTCQB:LDDFF), a leading technology provider of AI-based next generation detection solutions for protecting secure locations against prohibited weapons and other threats. Next Generation Security Detection Liberty Defense (TSXV:SCAN) (OTCQB:LDDFF) is at the forefront of advanced threat detection technology, designed to identify concealed threats in various sectors. The demand for security solutions that ensure public safety has never been more significant. Liberty Defense offers advanced security solutions for detecting concealed weapons in high-traffic areas and places requiring heightened security, such as airports, stadiums, schools, and more. Their HEXWAVE product, under an exclusive license from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), along with technology transfer agreements for active 3D radar imaging, delivers discreet, modular, and scalable security to detect metallic and non-metallic weapons without divesting jackets, phones, keys, or wallets. On November 1st, Liberty Defense (TSXV:SCAN) (OTCQB:LDDFF) announced that it has secured a $1.25M contract from the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), with potential options bringing the total value to $3.86 million. This newly acquired contract's primary focus is to equip the TSA with Open Architecture (OA) software. Additionally, the deal involves comprehensive end-to-end engineering development and the evolution of the High Definition Advanced Imaging Technology (HD-AIT) Wideband Upgrade Kit. The anticipated outcome of this initiative is to introduce advanced detection capabilities that will transform passenger screening into a smoother, arms-down experience. The aim of the TSA’s On-Person Screening program is to heighten the detection of an extensive range of threats. The goal is to reduce false alarms and minimize physical contact during the screening process. According to the TSA, the Open Architecture approach adopted for this initiative is designed for both software and hardware. Using globally recognized standards, OA ensures cross-platform interoperability irrespective of the technology's origin, be it designer, manufacturer, or supplier. In a parallel move to fortify airport security, Liberty Defense is also joining forces with the TSA to introduce its HEXWAVE walk-through screening portal, an initiative that aligns with the TSA's objective to mitigate insider threats. HEXWAVE, which is currently in production, caters to commercial markets and could serve the growing need for employee screening at airports. This technology is set to work in tandem with the HD-AIT system to bolster passenger screening protocols under the ongoing Liberty -TSA partnership. A brief look into Liberty 's history shows its commitment to aviation security. In March 2021, the company acquired licenses for the millimeter wave-based HD-AIT body scanner and shoe screener technologies. Developed by experts at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) and funded by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate (DHS S&T), these technologies are tailored for the TSA's mission. Liberty has now taken the reins, further developing this technology with its dedicated team of engineers.

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.
