DALLAS, Jan. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Spontaneity will be the word of the year for 2021 travelers as a new global study reveals 89% of U.S. travelers intend to be more impulsive than ever, following 2020’s cancelled trips, boredom and all round ‘year of nothing’. The new report from Hotels.com®, ‘The 2021 Upgrade’, has uncovered how this new lust for spontaneity will have a ripple effect on the hotel and travel industries, as travelers say ‘yes’ to more.

DALLAS, Jan. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Spontaneity will be the word of the year for 2021 travelers as a new global study reveals 89% of U.S. travelers intend to be more impulsive than ever, following 2020’s cancelled trips, boredom and all round ‘year of nothing’. The new report from Hotels.com®, ‘The 2021 Upgrade’, has uncovered how this new lust for spontaneity will have a ripple effect on the hotel and travel industries, as travelers say ‘yes’ to more.

Take me away…and quick! The global study showed that 32% are dubbing 2020 the ‘lost year’ for travel prompting more than a third (35%) to be more likely to drop everything to vacay if they can in 2021. Hotels.com’s booking data supports this, with almost half of bookings in June 2020 (when lockdown rules eased for the first time for many) being made three or fewer days from the time of search.

It’s all about being spontaneous AF these days with over a quarter revealing they would say yes to more last-minute trips (28%). All rules are out the window with one in five (26%) saying they would take off on a long-haul trip for just a few days or make no plans for the trip in favor of being spontaneous when they arrive (25%). A further 17% are ready to live their best luxury #HotelLife and will be booking a five-star hotel for their 2021 getaways.

Experts at Hotels.com also predict this extravagant attitude will have a dramatic impact on hotel booking behavior, with 2021 being the year to really ‘treat yo self’. Compared to pre-pandemic times over a quarter (26%) would now book a better hotel room, and nearly a quarter would spontaneously say yes to a room upgrade if offered when booking (24%).

«2020 was the year of staying home, postponing trips and posting old vacation pictures on social media. This year, travelers are ready to ‘seize the stay’ when travel returns and they feel comfortable to take the trips they missed out on» shared Josh Belkin, Vice President, Global brand Hotels.com. «We saw that when travel restrictions eased for many in July and August 2020, over half of bookings were made three days or less ahead of their stay, compared to 40% in 2019. People are ready to channel their inner spontaneous self, dropping everything at the last minute to get away and enjoy the best that hotel life has to offer.»

Dear hotel, we miss you

Travelers are ready to get in that robe and raid the mini bar again with a quarter of people saying the thing they miss most about traveling is being able to stay in an awesome hotel. They have been craving that sweet #HotelLife, missing relaxing in a plush robe (13%), the peace and quiet (30%) breakfast buffets (23%), hotel restaurants and bars (29%), rooms with a view (26%), ordering room service (18%), visiting the hotel pool (20%), treating themselves to the hotel spa (17%) and of course the incredible hotel bed (18%).

This craving means travelers will take a different approach to hotel bookings in 2021 – it will be all about upgrading the experience. When asked what new experiences they would say ‘yes’ to, around one in five (20%) would splurge on a spa treatment, uber-luxe hotel restaurant (20%), or a fancy cocktail in the hotel’s bar (24%).

Travelers will also be finding ways to ‘seize the stay’ as much as they can, with nearly one in five stating they would spontaneously book a fancy hotel for a staycation for the weekend (24%) or take advantage of a mid-week deal in their local trendy hotel (23%).

The rise in spontaneous travel

To plan or not to plan? Travelers want to be carefree and relaxed by making spontaneous decisions (32%), not having to plan and just doing what they wanted (28%) and saying ‘yes’ to new experiences (24%). Time to turn on the ‘out of office’ and switch off for that vacation.

The research also revealed the lengths that many will go to for a vacation and a hotel stay in 2021, with travelers admitting do all the cleaning in their house (29%), give up sweets (24%), not leave their house (23%), social media apps (17%) and even sex (16%) for a month. 2020, you have pushed us to our limits!

Same day travel driven by need to be spontaneous

Travel-hungry hotel-lovers are ready to commit to spontaneity, with 29% claiming they’d be ready to drop it all and leave the same day if given the opportunity.

With spontaneity comes packing pressure. Most would go nowhere without their digital lifelines, with over half (55%) prioritising their phone, laptop and charger – beating out a change of clothes (46%), a swimsuit (29%) and sleepwear (30%).

Aptiv Leverages Unique Brain and Nervous System Portfolio to Optimize Vehicle Architecture with New Zone Controllers

DUBLIN, Jan. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Aptiv PLC (NYSE: APTV), a global technology company enabling the future of mobility, today announced zone controllers that distribute high-speed data and power between sensors and peripherals, while separating input / output (I/O) from compute in the vehicle.

<a href="https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/651892/Aptiv_Logo.html" target="_blank"…

DUBLIN, Jan. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Aptiv PLC (NYSE: APTV), a global technology company enabling the future of mobility, today announced zone controllers that distribute high-speed data and power between sensors and peripherals, while separating input / output (I/O) from compute in the vehicle.

As part of Smart Vehicle Architecture, Aptiv’s approach to enabling the software-defined vehicle, the zone controllers allow OEMs to break apart the vehicle’s physical complexity into more manageable zones and further drive up-integration of distributed ECUs, reducing the weight and lowering total system costs in the vehicle.

«Thanks to our unique position with both the brain and the nervous system of the vehicle, Aptiv is perfectly positioned to help our customers optimize the performance and cost of their vehicles,» said Kevin Clark, president and CEO. «Aptiv’s powerful zone controllers sit at the intersection of these capabilities, helping them reduce complexity, weight and cost, while putting customers one step closer to the software-defined, electric vehicles of the future.»

As a high-speed data and power hub, Aptiv zone controllers simplify complexity by separating I/O from compute, while supporting standardized interfaces and enabling «plug and play» devices. For example, instead of connecting directly to a dedicated ECU, devices connect to an Aptiv zone controller, which then connects to a domain controller over a single common interface. This reduces complexity and improves scalability by allowing domain controllers to focus on higher-level software while maintaining a separate development cycle from the I/O. It also simplifies wiring harnesses to allow more automated assembly and reduces costs.

Aptiv’s deep expertise in advanced vehicle software and hardware architecture, including the insights from over a decade of automated driving experience, informed the development of Aptiv’s zone controllers. This has resulted in several key benefits for next-generation vehicles:

  • Reduced Complexity: Breaking apart the physical complexity of the vehicle simplifies manufacturing while enabling automation to ensure quality and lower cost, while up-integration of distributed ECUs provides compute functionality inside the zones that can be used for feature consolidation.
  • Intelligent Power Management: The zone controllers manage power distribution throughout a vehicle centrally. In the past, wires needed to allow enough tolerance for peak load without having a melting fuse blow. With the benefits of smart fusing, wires can be specified to the physical limit of the load over a specified period of time. This also allows Aptiv’s zone controllers to be flexibly located, which simplifies packaging and reduces cost.
  • Predictive Maintenance: Aptiv’s software can detect when wires attached to the zone controller are close to failing and pass that information back to predictive maintenance systems, helping drivers and fleet operators address potential problems before they affect vehicle operation.

It’s more critical than ever to cut down on emissions as homes are expected to become the single largest consumer of electricity, surpassing industry as the largest contributor of carbon dioxide emissions by 2050. This is exacerbated by the fact that home energy usage is up an average of 20% since the pandemic began. With this is mind, Schneider Electric is empowering homeowners and builders to make homes not only be smart, but connected and sustainable as well, all through the Wiser Energy system.

As a national leader in connected and smart home technology, Schneider Electric is already in four out of 10 homes in the U.S., keeping them safe from potential electrical hazards. Now, Schneider Electric is also giving homeowners a new, deeper level of insight that allows them to take control of their homes, their carbon footprint and their energy bills. 

Schneider Electric Empowers Home Builders Across the U.S.

Across the United States, Schneider Electric is working with home builders, offering them solutions that focus on the four key areas that enable them to build top-of-the-line homes: providing best in class safety and protection, creating an enhanced lifestyle with connectivity, incorporating AI and machine learning, and embracing modern aesthetics and modular designs.

«We recognize the impact residential energy use is having on the environment and the need for new technology to help consumers increase their energy efficiency and reduce their energy costs,» said Richard Korthauer, Vice President, Home & Distribution, Schneider Electric. «We are working with industry-leading builders to incorporate new solutions into their designs to create sustainable homes of the future that allow residents to view, manage and track their home’s power using a single device. By seamlessly integrating this technology into their home, homeowners have greater peace of mind and energy savings, without sacrificing comfort.»

These solutions include:

  • Square D Energy Center – A more resilient, efficient, and aesthetic all-in-one home energy system solution designed for smart homes offering homeowners personalized digital control over their residential energy.
  • Wiser Home Energy Monitor – A connected solution integrated into the home’s electrical panel providing real-time information to optimize home energy usage and track savings.   
  • Square D Wiring Devices – High-performing, multi-tasking, connected light switches, dimmers, outlets and combination devices that can control room lighting, provide energy monitoring, and send alerts by phone or voice activation via Alexa or Google Assistant.

Providence Homes & Schneider Electric Create Resilient, Sustainable Homes

Sustainable, durable and healthy homes begin with construction. Schneider Electric and Providence Homes, the leading builder of energy efficient homes in Northeast Florida, are working together to create energy efficient residential ecosystems and empower home buyers to better control their energy costs.

Providence Homes is dedicated to going beyond energy efficiency and building long-lasting, sustainable homes. In working with Schneider Electric, the builder has been able to create homes that are not only sustainable, resilient, hyper-efficient and people-centric, but most of all transparent and optimized for long-term energy efficiency.

«We take great pride in building 100% ENERGY STAR® Certified homes that can keep up with the energetic families that live inside them, while offering a cleaner, healthier environment for all. When showing our homes, we are excited to share how our homes outperform traditional code-built homes in all aspects of design and performance,» said Charles Roberts, Vice President of Operations. «By incorporating the Wiser Home Energy Monitor, our homebuyers can easily see the cost-savings in action and the value speaks for itself.» 

Providence Homes is integrating Schneider Electric’s Wiser Energy Monitor into more than 250 homes, giving those homeowners 24/7 real-time access to energy usage, track savings and set energy goals to optimize their home energy. 

«Providence Homes has embraced our smart home solutions to differentiate themselves from a technological and insight standpoint, while reinforcing their commitment to home energy efficiency,» said Bradford Wills, Director: Strategic Customers & Programs, Home & Distribution, Schneider Electric. «We see our relationship with Providence Homes as a blueprint for builders across the country in how to embrace digital transformation and create homes that meet the demands of consumers today and in the future.»

Schneider Electric’s Home & Distribution team will be speaking at the 2021 CES Conference, discussing the evolution of the sustainable home, how builders are tackling the biggest challenges facing homeowners, and how the homes of the future are being built today.

Pandemic Year Brought Incredible Surge in ‘Million-Dollar Cities’

SEATTLE, Jan. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Although the typical value of a home in the United States is about $263,000, the number of «million-dollar cities» spiked sharply last year,  according to a new Zillow analysis.  There are 45…

SEATTLE, Jan. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Although the typical value of a home in the United States is about $263,000, the number of «million-dollar cities» spiked sharply last year,  according to a new Zillow analysis.  There are 45 more U.S. cities1 with a typical home value of at least $1 million than there were a year ago — the largest increase in at least a decade.

There are now 312 million-dollar cities, up 104 from five years ago. Nearly half of those 104 crossed that threshold in 2020, a reflection of the flaming hot market last year that saw home values appreciating near 7.5% annually in November as demographic trends and pandemic effects brought surging demand through most of 2020.  This follows a year in which home prices appreciated at the lowest rate since 2013 and a net of two cities fell below the $1 million threshold.

Million-dollar cities are fairly congregated geographically, with 70 percent concentrated within nine coastal metro areas. Among those, 61 are in the San Francisco metro area, 51 are clustered around New York City and 39 are in the Los Angeles area. The metro areas of San Jose (20 cities), Boston (11),  MiamiFort Lauderdale (11), Seattle (9) and Washington, D.C., (8) also have multiple cities where the typical home price exceeds $1 million.

«In 2020 home values soared nationwide because of incredible demand across all price tiers, which we expect to continue well into 2021,» says Zillow senior economist Chris Glynn. «Despite the label, there are homes available in these communities for less than $1 million, but buyers must be realistic about their wish list and act quickly in the current market, especially since homes are selling in a matter of days in many places.  For sellers, it is possible to capitalize on the recent growth in these markets and relocate to far less-expensive markets – particularly with an increase in remote work offering flexibility in the job market.»

Atherton, Calif., near San Francisco, has the highest typical home value in the country at about $6.6 million. Hunts Point, Wash., near Seattle, is No. 2,  with typical values around $6 million. Sagaponack, New York, and Jupiter Island, Fla. (Port St. Lucie metro area), follow with typical values over $5 million. There are six additional cities with typical home values over $4 million, 21 more with values over $3 million, and another 38 with values over $2 million.

Historically, the list of million-dollar cities is dominated by areas that offer natural amenities like proximity to the ocean and mountains, and many of the cities that joined the list this year fit that mold. Some newcomers include Potomac, Maryland; Longport, Long Beach Township, and Allenhurst in New Jersey; and Westhampton and the Town of Shelter Island in New York. Calistoga and Yountville in California’s Napa Valley also crossed the $1 million threshold in 2020, as well as Incline Village, Nevada, in the Lake Tahoe area.

«An increased demand in places like Potomac and other more expensive areas around the county is happening because of the pandemic-driven need for more indoor and outdoor space, home offices, pools and more,» said Samer Kuraishi, a Best of Zillow Premier Agent and President of The ONE Street Company, a boutique real estate firm in Washington, D.C. «We’re seeing more buyers from afar using technology to tour homes and buy ‘sight unseen.’ The sellers who have a great media package, including a floor plan with dimensions, virtual staging and 3D imaging, have the edge in such a competitive market.»

If current rates of appreciation hold, two additional Coastal California cities could join the $1 million club in the coming months — El Cerrito and Cayucos.

«I’m proud that our Penumbra team around the world was able to help our customers address the needs of many more patients during the challenges of the global pandemic,» said Adam Elsesser, chief executive officer and president, Penumbra, Inc. «We remain committed to our mission of meeting the needs of patients and all who serve them across our neuro, vascular and virtual reality franchises.»

1 See «Non-GAAP Revenue» for important information about our use of this non-GAAP measure.

Non-GAAP Revenue
In addition to revenue prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles («GAAP»), the Company uses non-GAAP revenue in this press release.  The Company defines non-GAAP revenue as revenue excluding the impact of the December 15, 2020 voluntary recall of the Jet 7 Xtra Flex.

Full reconciliation of non-GAAP revenue to GAAP revenue is set forth in the tables below.

Our management believes non-GAAP revenue provides useful information to investors in assessing the performance of our business and provides meaningful comparisons to prior periods and thus a more complete understanding of our business than could be obtained absent this disclosure.  In addition, non-GAAP revenue enables comparison of the Company’s revenue results with other public companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP revenue measures.

The non-GAAP revenue measure included in this press release may be different from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. The non-GAAP revenue measure should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to GAAP revenue. The Company urges investors to review the reconciliation of non-GAAP revenue to GAAP revenue included in this press release, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate its business.
