COLUMBUS, Ohio, Sept. 2, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Red Roof®, the leader in upscale economy lodging, has pivoted to address consumer needs with a range of programs that underscore the brand’s continuous research and knowledge of what travelers want. A company obsessed with listening, learning and offering lodging solutions for budget travelers, Red Roof has seamlessly pivoted to provide a range of programs that benefit students, remote workers, first responders and those hitting the road through the end of 2020.

Americans with plans for leisure travel this year continue to express that hitting the road to spend time with loved ones is paramount but they also look forward to enjoying nature and avoiding crowds. The pursuit of relaxation and finding peace of mind, while having fun, is also key in these travelers’ plans. While nearly 40% say they will prioritize excitement and energy and seeing new places, there are many who say they will prioritize budget travel and staying close to home. In fact, 33% say they will be taking a staycation* this year and 53.9% say they will be taking a regional trip under 200 miles.¹ Micro Trips have also become a priority, are more work/vacation time friendly, more budget-friendly, and more schedule-friendly, yet they provide the same cultural and mental benefits as longer vacations.²

«Red Roof is leading its competitors and the industry in occupancy by responding quickly to the new landscape and pivoting to meet the changing needs of consumers this year,» notes Marina MacDonald, Chief Marketing Officer, Red Roof. «We have been nimble and responsive in this evolving environment and have swiftly developed programs that help those hitting the road, students, remote workers and first responders by providing safe, comfortable rooms for their varied needs at affordable rates.»

As COVID-19 continues to devastate the hotel industry, Red Roof is trending ahead of the industry. Innovative programs as well as Red Roof’s enhanced cleaning protocols, RediClean, have been instrumental in driving bookings and stays. Implemented months ago, RediClean includes enhanced cleaning of those vital, high-touch points in common areas that impact guests and employees as well as rooms. There has also been a heightened demand for Red Roof’s exterior-corridor properties because of fewer touch points; 68% of Red Roof properties in the United States have exterior corridors.   

Along with providing consumers confidence with safety and enhanced protocols, a wide range of programs have been implemented during this difficult time period to continue to meet consumer needs. Programs include Red Roof’s day rates. In light of the abrupt interruption of working environments, Red Roof is offering day rates to help remote workers find quiet and comfortable spaces that will allow them to focus on business continuity while working away from their offices as they try to escape tighter living quarters due to home schooling mandates and recommendations to practice social distancing. Through its Work Under Our Roof program, Red Roof is providing safe, convenient and comfortable «workspaces.» Rooms are available at select properties* Monday through Friday from 8am-6pm with same day check-in and check-out with reduced rates starting from $39. Rooms have Fast. Free. Verified** WiFi and a communication package that includes free local and long-distance calls, fax, flat-screen TVs and a workstation, as well as complimentary, in-room coffee in most rooms.

Red Roof’s Student Support Program*** is being offered to students who need to quarantine or are searching for temporary off-campus accommodations or a safe place for visiting family. It is an option for families as the pandemic’s impact on in-person education and the consequent travel plans of parents of school-age children have significantly changed.

Red Roof has always supported first responders. First responders always receive a discount at Red Roof and now the brand is also offering Hospital Refresh which gives first responders a place to rest and recharge during the day.

DUBLIN, Sept. 2, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The «Automotive OTA Research Report, 2019-2020» report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

Against all odds, controversial Tesla and NIO were eventually out of the woods. What they live on is FOTA (Firmware-over-the-air). Upgrading software and hardware provides new experience for car owners, making them more satisfied and very loyal.

Even nowadays, few vehicle models enable FOTA, really a hard nut to crack.

Considering safety and FOTA challenges, traditional automakers mostly choose to tap into vehicle system SOTA (Software-over-the-air) and act prudently in FOTA promotion. Through the lens of a typical FOTA flow, realizing FOTA needs E/E architecture disruption, and the support of new technologies like automotive Ethernet, cyber security, intelligent gateway, great computing power, and large memory.

Conventional OEMs have made slow progress in FOTA development over the past several years. Yet they took a big step forward in 2019. It can be seen from the table below that there is a gap between main OEMs and Tesla. Success of Tesla Model 3 weighs so heavily on traditional automakers that they are highly endangered except sweating for rapid transformation.

VW is the most aggressive among OEMs, while its counterparts are also working hard. The race to roll out intelligent gateway chip in early 2020 is a reflection of OEM’s eager hoping to enable FOTA as early as possible just as Tesla has done.

Installation of SOTA easier to realize is soaring in both volume and rate. In 2019, 3.838 million passenger cars, or 19% of the total, were provided with SOTA, jumping by 60.6% compared with 2.39 million units, or 11.8% of the total in 2018, according to the author.

Among typical OEMs, GM leads in OTA capability. Its new-generation electronic architecture enables FOTA updates on its ICE models, which means OTA is available to recalibrate or upgrade engine and transmission control modules, vehicle communication system, entertainment system, driving control and body control ECU at a later stage.

In 2020, Buick’s latest interconnection system, eConnect3.0 enables OTA updates of 9 major models such as OnStar module, IVI system, intelligent driving control module, body control module, and iBooster brake booster.

In 2020, the latest Cadillac CT5 model will pack GM’s new electronic architecture. CT5 allows OTA updates of more than 30 vehicle control modules including software modules (e.g., IVI and smart connectivity) and firmware electronic modules (e.g., powertrain, chassis and electrical control).

GM plans to apply its next-generation E/E architecture to most of its car lineups before 2023.

Chinese companies that excel in application layer innovation already make plenty of OTA micro-innovations. Examples include SAIC providing personalized OTA — DOTA, and BYD and XPENG Motors both offering high temperature disinfection capability enabled by OTA updates.

In April 2020, BYD announced its new models like Tang added with high temperature disinfection capability enabled by OTA updates. This capability is not simple upgrade and introduction but involves a complete set of OTA-based working logic of multiple ECUs (e.g., multimedia, air-conditioner controller and PTC heater) in a safe way.

BOSTON, Sept. 2, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Motional, a global leader in driverless technology, today announces an expansion to nuScenes, the industry-leading dataset that teaches autonomous vehicles how to safely engage with ever-changing road environments.  nuScenes now includes nuScenes-lidarseg and nuImages. 

nuScenes: a background
nuScenes, created in March 2019, was the first publicly available dataset of its kind, and pioneered an industry-wide culture of safety-focused data-sharing and collaboration.  It launched as a collection of 1,000 urban «street-scenes» in Boston and Singapore. The scenes, composed of millions of photos and data-points collected from the vehicles’ full sensor suites, were then meticulously hand-annotated, and used to inform and advance machine learning models to build the safest possible self-driving vehicles.   

The nuScenes expansion
Today, the nuScenes dataset becomes even more robust:

• nuScenes-lidarseg, is the application of lidar segmentation to the original 1,000 Singapore and Boston driving scenes, making it the largest publicly available dataset of its kind.   Lidar segmentation provides a significantly more detailed picture of a vehicle’s surroundings than the original nuScenes’ bounding boxes, and adds an astonishing 1.4B annotated lidar points.  It’s a significant step forward for the industry; it allows researchers to study and quantify novel challenges such as lidar point cloud segmentation and foreground extraction. 

• nuImages is a brand new dataset. It comprises nearly 100,000 annotated images, carefully selected to generate a wide range of unpredictable, challenging driving conditions.  nuImages was created in response to user demand, and will help self-driving vehicles safely navigate unusual scenarios – like jaywalkers, large intersections, and challenging weather conditions.

The nuScenes expansion is a demonstration of Motional’s commitment to making driverless vehicles a safe and reliable reality.

A culture of information sharing
Since release, over 8,000 researchers have used nuScenes, with over 250 scientific papers published using the data. Furthermore, nuScenes gave rise to a thriving culture of information-sharing in the autonomous vehicle industry. In the year-and-a-half since launch, more than ten new datasets have been made publicly available across the industry, helping to build safer, more educated autonomous vehicles.

«Safety transcends competition,» said Karl Iagnemma, President and CEO, Motional. «The belief that passenger safety must take priority over any competitive advantage is at the heart of nuScenes. We’ve been delighted to see so many peers follow suit and release their own datasets, all for the betterment of the industry.» 

Motional has a long history at the forefront of safety. In 2019, the company was part of the team that released the Safety First for Automated Driving white paper, an organized framework for the development, testing and validation of safe automated passenger vehicles.

NEWARK, Calif., Sept. 2, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Lucid Motors, which seeks to set new standards for sustainable transportation with its advanced luxury EVs, today announced details of the proprietary, in-house developed electric drivetrain that will power the forthcoming pure-electric luxury Lucid Air and allow it to become the instant class leader in a number of key performance and efficiency metrics.

With up to 1,080 horsepower available in a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive architecture, the Lucid Air is able to achieve quarter-mile times as low as 9.9 seconds on a consistent, repeatable basis. To date, it is the only electric sedan able to achieve a quarter-mile time under 10 seconds, all with an uncompromised package offering room for five passengers and class-leading interior and storage space. The power of the Lucid Air is complemented by an available extended-range capability that achieves an estimated EPA range of up to 517 miles on a single charge.

«Our watchword has been ‘focus’ since day one at Lucid – a focus on sound engineering principles, a focus on creating efficiencies, and a focus on maximizing power to create a world-class EV,» said Peter Rawlinson, CEO and CTO, Lucid Motors. «When the Lucid Air comes to market next spring, the world will see that we have developed the best electric vehicle technology possible by a wide margin and effectively created a new benchmark for EVs. The result is nothing short of a technological tour de force in every facet upon which a luxury performance car is measured.»

Lucid has been able to closely match its own computer-modeled predictions in real world testing by carefully engineering its proprietary technology with a focus on optimizing every aspect of the Air’s performance and efficiency. Starting with the in-house development of the Air’s drivetrain, Lucid created a line of powerful, compact, and ultra-efficient permanent magnet electric motors. Combining these motors with an inverter and an integrated transmission and differential creates a state of the art, 900V+ electric drive unit that weighs just 163lb (74kg) and is small enough to fit inside a standard airline carry-on roller bag. Each drive unit packs over 650hp, with a power density that is well beyond anything else offered on the EV market at 41hp per liter. This compactness allows for one, two, or even three units to be used to power a Lucid Air. In total, Lucid’s drive units are 45 percent lighter and up to 59 percent more powerful than the closest competitor. For their power, the motors are two and a half times more volumetrically compact than the closest competitor. Also notable is the fact that the motors can spin up to 20,000 rpm, a significant performance advantage over the competition.

The enablers of these outstanding electric motor characteristics include a set of inventions that are part of Lucid intellectual property. Most notably, an elegant and revolutionary new motor winding technology has been introduced to maximize power output and reduce electrical losses. The motor also features an innovative cooling system that more effectively removes heat from the stator winding, minimizing losses and boosting efficiency.

The ultra-compactness of these electric drive units lays the foundation for Lucid’s Space Concept vehicle design approach. This is achieved in part by the transmission and differential, which have been fully integrated for the first time in an electric motor – together, they comprise a single rotational system that is both lightweight and extremely efficient. Meanwhile, Lucid leverages a high voltage, silicon-carbide MOSFET system in its inverters to maximize efficiency, especially in real-world driving conditions.

An ultra-high, 900V+ architecture combined with Lucid’s Wunderbox onboard charging unit serve as the heart of the Air’s electrical platform. The Wunderbox is a unique, multi-function unit, developed entirely in-house to ensure compatibility with, and the maximizing of, charging systems of differing voltages, specifically boost-voltage charging. It also allows the Lucid Air to charge at rates of up to 300 miles in 20 minutes and up to 20 miles in one minute when connected to a DC Fast Charging network (such as those offered by Lucid’s charging partner, Electrify America, on its nationwide network). The Wunderbox also enables a wide array of future-ready, bi-directional power delivery features from the vehicle to the grid (V2G) for situations such as managing home power outages. It can also enable vehicle to vehicle charging (V2V).

Lucid drew upon 10 years of experience and over 20 million miles of real-world testing in creating its compact 113kWh extended-range battery packs with integral race-proven technology and unsurpassed energy density. Atieva, Lucid’s technology division, designed, developed, manufactures and has supplied the battery packs for the entire field of entries in the Formula E racing series since 2018 with an agreement continuing through 2022. The result is a battery system for Lucid Air that delivers unparalleled safety and race-proven performance in a form sculpted around the occupant cabin.

The production version of the Lucid Air will debut in an online reveal on September 9, 2020. In addition to the vehicle’s final interior and exterior designs, new details about production specifications, available configurations, and pricing information will also be shared.
