AUSTIN, Texas, April 22, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Home sales and median home prices across Texas experienced a moderate increase in the first quarter of 2020, according to the 2020-Q1 Texas Quarterly Housing Report released today by Texas Realtors.

AUSTIN, Texas, April 22, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Home sales and median home prices across Texas experienced a moderate increase in the first quarter of 2020, according to the 2020-Q1 Texas Quarterly Housing Report released today by Texas Realtors. Although this time period includes the beginning stages of the COVID-19 outbreak, the statistical representation of its impact on the Texas housing market will be made more apparent in the second and third quarters of the year.

«The housing statistics for the first three months of the year show the continuation of more than a decade of growth in the Texas housing market,» said Cindi Bulla, chairman of Texas Realtors. «However, the rapid growth of the global pandemic we are facing is poised to affect this momentum. Before this unprecedented event and the economic downturn and shelter-in-place orders, our biggest market concern was the lack of affordable housing to meet the tremendous demand.»

During the first quarter of 2020, 75,052 homes were sold in Texas, jumping 7% compared to the first quarter of 2019. Statewide, the median price increased 5.1% to $241,500. Price class distribution showed that the largest percentage of homes sold across the state (33.8%) were in the $200,000$299,000 price range.

Jim Gaines, Ph.D., chief economist with the Real Estate Center at Texas A&M University, commented, «Sales activity in the first quarter experienced strong momentum. However, as a result of COVID-19, many sellers have begun pulling their listings to wait out the quarantine. This will only add to our housing shortage and strained inventory availability. Sales are anticipated to drastically drop in Q2, as we’ll be comparing our market to the previous record-breaking year. In the long-term, there will be continued demand within the Texas housing market as long as the job market is able to rebound quickly.»

Active listings dropped 8.9% to 91,363 listings in the first quarter of 2020. Texas homes spent an average of 67 days on the market during the same time frame, one day more than the first quarter of 2019. Housing inventory in Texas decreased 0.5 months from 2019-Q1 to 3.0 months of inventory.

Chairman Bulla concluded, «While these statistics will serve as an important historical reference and benchmark for future recovery, they don’t represent the full market impact of COVID-19. The data for the second and third quarter of 2020 will be the market story, giving us a better look at the post-crisis implications on the Texas housing market. The good news is we went into the disruption with positive velocity and will be ready to come out the other side with a swift recovery. In the meantime, opportunities are everywhere, and we Texans always outperform expectations.»

Corporate car sharing is expected to grow at the highest Y-O-Y growth in the global car sharing market during the forecast period

Corporate car sharing is a kind of mobility solution provided by employers to their employees for everyday commutation and specific business requirements. The demand for corporate car sharing is expected to grow as people riding to offices are likely to travel on the same route. Thus, it is much easier to find co-passengers with ease and less waiting time.

Corporate car sharing enables commercial businesses to reduce or eliminate private vehicle fleets by providing their employees access to shared cars. It offers many benefits to businesses such as flexibility to employees, lower fleet management costs, and less traffic on roads. In comparison to P2P sharing, corporate sharing is more organized and manageable to tackle during situations like COVID-19. Companies can take all the necessary precautions to avoid transmissions.

Bicycles are estimated to be the largest Ride Sharing Market, by micro-mobility vehicle type

Bicycles have the largest market globally in terms of their usage in the micro-mobility Ride Sharing Market. They are eco-friendly, cheap, less time consuming, comfortable for short rides, and easily available. All these make bicycles a preferred choice.  It is necessary to follow social distancing to control the spread of COVID-19, which can be established through station-based mobility.

Asia Pacific to have the largest market size during the forecast period

Asia Pacific is estimated to dominate the Ride Sharing Market and projected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. The growth in the Asia Pacific market is attributed to the wide customer base due to a growing population and rising urbanization in emerging economies such as China and India. Factors such as increasing urbanization and rising traffic congestion are likely to drive the demand for ride sharing services. For countries such as India and China, the consumer preference is changing, and with the rising population, the need for ride sharing is increasing to cater to the increase in customer base. Moreover, China has started to recover from the pandemic faster than any other country.

The Ride Sharing Market is dominated by global players and comprises several regional players. Some of the key players in the ride sharing industry are Uber (US), Lyft (US), DiDi (China), Grab (Singapore), Gett (Israel), Ola (India), BlaBlaCar (France), Lime (US), and Herts (US).

ASAM’s OpenSCENARIO 2.0 Concepts Demonstrated Using Foretellix M-SDL

M-SDL used in OpenSCENARIO 2.0 concept document for all examples of a domain-specific Scenario Description Language, critical to ADAS & AV verification and validation

TEL AVIV, Israel, April 22, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Foretellix, an Israeli based start-up with a mission to enable measurable safety of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) & autonomous vehicles (AVs), today announced that its Open M-SDL language concepts are included in the recently published ASAM OpenSCENARIO 2.0 Concept Document published by the Association for Standardization of Automation and Measuring Systems (ASAM, www.asam.net). ASAM membership consists of around 300 member organizations worldwide. These member organizations include automotive OEMs, suppliers, tool vendors, engineering service providers and research institutes.

Foretellix Logo

Foretellix had previously opened M-SDL (Measurable Scenario Description Language) and contributed its concepts to the ASAM OpenSCENARIO concept working group. M-SDL is the first open language that addresses multiple shortcomings of today’s formats, languages, methods and metrics used to verify and validate ADAS and AVs, and address the industry mandate for ‘measurable safety’. Over 500 engineers from 250 different entities have already downloaded the M-SDL specification.

The ASAM OpenSCENARIO 2.0 standard is meant to support the definition of tests and scenarios for the full development process of autonomous vehicles, and the full complexity of real-world scenarios, including complex inner-city traffic. Required use cases span from pure software-based simulation, through SIL, HIL, VIL hybrid testing models, up to test tracks and street driving. It will also ensure a migration path from ASAM OpenSCENARIO 1.x, with execution compatibility. The ASAM OpenSCENARIO 2.0 concept document has been published and is available on ASAM’s website here.

The concept document uses M-SDL for all examples of a declarative domain specific Scenario Description Language. The document includes the description «The foundational concept of OpenSCENARIO 2.0 is to establish a domain specific language of a declarative nature. A declarative language describes what should happen on scenario execution (including the required parameterization/variation), rather than how to do it. A declarative language can also have a dual interpretation, i.e. provide a single scenario description which can be used to describe both how to make it and how to monitor that it indeed happened….In cases where examples are supplied, they are supplied using the foundation of the M-SDL language».

«Foretellix is proud that M-SDL is used in this document as an example for a domain specific scenario description language,» said Gil Amid, Co-founder of Foretellix and project leader for the ASAM OpenSCENARIO 2.0 concept project. «Foretellix is committed to open standards and is looking forward to expand its contributions to the ASAM OpenSCENARIO 2.0 standards development phase now being started within ASAM.»

«ASAM is pleased to deliver a powerful concept for ASAM OpenSCENARIO 2.0 that meets the industry’s critical requirements for scenario based testing, verification and validation and the full simulation domain», said Klaus Estenfeld, Managing Director for ASAM. «We are also thankful for all the contributions from Foretellix and all other project members in crystallizing these concepts with tangible examples. We expect the ASAM OpenSCENARIO 2.0 standard to build on these concepts with additional contributions from many companies and DSL developers around the world.»

Foretellix will be hosting a webinar on April 30th, 2020, that describes the M-SDL language and it’s contribution to ASAM OpenSCENARIO 2.0 concepts. Registration for the webinar is available at the following link.

About Foretellix

Foretellix’s mission is to enable ‘measurable safety’ of advanced driver assistance systems & autonomous vehicles, enabled by a transition from ‘quantity of miles’ to ‘quality of coverage’.

Foretellix was founded by a team of pioneers in measurable verification and validation, with a highly automated and proven coverage driven methodology broadly adopted in the semiconductor industry. They have adapted and tailored their approach for the safety verification and validation of automated driving systems.

Foretellix’s Foretify Technology includes an open, high level Measurable Scenario Description Language (M-SDL), intelligent and scalable automation, analytics and metrics. This includes the functional coverage metrics required to make a compelling ‘safety case’ to consumers, developers, insurance companies and regulators.

Este ministerio ha venido siendo respaldado a través de los años por Yeshua el Mesías a través del poder y la unción de su Espíritu, sanando enfermos, particularmente los terminales, es decir, los que según la ciencia médica certifica como sin remedio; asimismo, libertando a los cautivos, echando fuera espíritus de demonios y manifestándose sobre los que creen con mansedumbre y hambre de conocimiento de su única verdad: La Sana Doctrina. Actualmente reside en Las Vegas, Nevada; felizmente casado con una hermosa y joven mujer que Dios le dio por esposa y compañera, con seis hermosos hijos y una bendición más que Dios trae a su hogar y que llegará pronto.

El autor de esta maravillosa obra literaria, Aarón Santos, nos comenta un poco acerca de la misma: «Este libro contiene declaraciones de las profecías del Apocalipsis para ayudar a entender el temor de Dios y la redención mediante el arrepentimiento oportuno, como está escrito en el libro de Hechos, capítulo 17, versículos 30 y 31: ‘Pero Dios habiendo pasado por alto los tiempos de esta ignorancia, ahora manda a todos los hombres en todo lugar, que se arrepientan; por cuanto ha establecido un día en el cual juzgará al mundo con justicia, por aquel varón a quien designó, dando fe a todos con haberle levantado de los muertos'».

NEWARK, N.J., 22 de abril de 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Felicidad: ¿Evolución o escape?, es una obra escrita por la mano de la autora Betty Erazo, escritora nacida en Ecuador. Vive en los Estados Unidos desde hace 28 años. Su trayectoria en la escritura ha ido paulatinamente en aumento, graduada de Cosmetología la cual ejerció por algunos años, pero el interés por la lectura la fue llevando también a escribir sus vivencias personales desde que era adolescente. Betty es amante y curiosa ante la creación de Dios, disfruta de conocer nuevas culturas y las maravillas de la naturaleza, lo que le sirve para inspirarse y plasmarlo por escrito. En la actualidad, comparte sus experiencias de Dios con los niños que se preparan para recibir el sacramento de Primera Comunión en la parroquia cercana a donde reside actualmente, Newark, Nueva Jersey.

La autora de esta maravillosa obra literaria, Betty Erazo, nos comenta un poco acerca de la misma: «Felicidad: ¿Evolución o escape?, es una novela que narra la historia de una niña llamada Felicidad. La historia oscila entre la búsqueda de felicidad, de huidas y de luchas constantes por sobrevivir y ser ella misma. Se trata de una narración entretenida en donde el personaje principal se relaciona con los demás actores de la novela de una forma cercana y difícil: hay eventos trágicos, alegres, dudosos, cambios repentinos, etc. En el fondo, la novela deja un cuestionamiento que parece ser el meollo del trabajo: ¿Felicidad evoluciona o huye de sí misma? Cada lector debe responder a tal objeción a partir del análisis de los escenarios y los hechos que vivió Felicidad. Por ende, la novela exige una lectura atenta y sosegada».

Publicada por la editorial Page Publishing, la obra de la autora Betty Erazo, Felicidad: ¿Evolución o escape?, muestra un relato que se centra en la vida de Felicidad, una niña que enfrenta experiencias de vida, no siempre felices, algunas veces trágicas, y todas las luchas por sobrevivir que afronta, dejando un cuestionamiento final al lector.
