Toyota Research Institute and Stanford University’s Dynamic Design Lab Study How to Improve Automotive Safety

Inspired by the Skills of Professional Drift Drivers, Research Seeks to Combine the Technology of Vehicle Automation with Artificial Intelligence Algorithms

LOS ALTOS, Calif., Jan. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — What if every driver who ran into trouble had the instinctive reflexes of a professional race car driver and the calculated foresight of a supercomputer to avoid a crash? Researchers at Toyota Research Institute are working with <span…

Inspired by the Skills of Professional Drift Drivers, Research Seeks to Combine the Technology of Vehicle Automation with Artificial Intelligence Algorithms

The engineers are conducting research into how to bring together the instincts of professional drivers and automated driving technology. Their goal is to design a new level of active safety technology and share it broadly so that Toyota and other auto manufacturers can deploy it on the road.

«Every day, there are deadly vehicle crashes that result from extreme situations where most drivers would need superhuman skills to avoid a collision,» said Gill Pratt, TRI CEO and Chief Scientist at Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC). «The reality is that every driver has vulnerabilities, and to avoid a crash, drivers often need to make maneuvers that are beyond their abilities. Through this project, TRI will learn from some of the most skilled drivers in the world to develop sophisticated control algorithms that amplify human driving abilities and keep people safe. This is the essence of the Toyota Guardian™ approach.»

Every year, car crashes result in nearly 40,000 fatalities in the United States, and about 1.25 million fatalities worldwide. Toyota’s goal is to reduce that number to zero. While most crashes occur in mundane situations, in other situations drivers may need to make maneuvers that take their vehicle close to and, at times, exceed normal limits of handling. When faced with wet or slippery roads for instance, professional drivers may choose to ‘drift’ the car through a turn.

«Since 2008, our lab has taken inspiration from human race car drivers in designing algorithms that enable automated vehicles to handle the most challenging emergencies,» said Professor Chris Gerdes of Stanford University’s Dynamic Design Laboratory. «Through this research, we have the opportunity to move these ideas much closer to saving lives on the road.»

TRI has supported the Dynamic Design Lab’s research for many years. The current project draws upon Stanford’s published paper, «Opening New Dimensions: Vehicle Motion Planning and Control using Brakes while Drifting,» in which Stanford researchers demonstrated advanced drifting on MARTY, an electrified, automated DeLorean. Stanford’s experimental results produced a proof-of-concept architecture capable of controlling a rear-wheel drive vehicle in a drift using brakes, steering and propulsion. TRI is now applying this architecture to vehicle platforms, including the GR Supra.

TRI is also engaging Toyota’s engineering expertise in motorsports and advanced development. Toyota Racing Development (TRD U.S.A., Inc.) in the United States is providing valuable technical and experiential know-how in motorsports and drifting. Separately, TRI is also working with Toyota Motor Corporation’s Vehicle Dynamics Control Team — based in Japan — to apply the drifting architecture for future Toyota vehicles.

About Toyota Research Institute
Toyota Research Institute (TRI), established in 2015, aims to develop active vehicle safety and automated driving technologies, robotics, and other human amplification technology. Led by Dr. Gill Pratt, TRI’s researchers use artificial intelligence to benefit society and improve the human condition by creating a future where everyone has the freedom to move, engage, and explore. TRI is based in the United States, with offices in Los Altos, California, Cambridge, Massachusetts, and Ann Arbor, Michigan. For more information about TRI, please visit http://tri.global.

La Haus Cements Market Leadership in Mexico and Colombia; Announces $35M in Series B Funding

MEXICO CITY, Jan. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — La Haus, the proptech market leader in Mexico and Colombia that is transforming the Latin American real estate industry, today announced it has raised $35 million in Series B led by Greenspring Associates. The new funding will allow the company to expand its product and services, and to extend its geographic reach to other parts of Latin America. This follows a $10M Series A round in early 2020.

Also participating in the round are Series A investors Acrew Capital; Kaszek Ventures; NFX, a firm co-founded by Trulia founder Pete Flint; IMO Ventures; and Zillow co-founder Spencer Rascoff. Hometeam Ventures also invested in the Series B round.

La Haus facilitates traditional real estate transactions digitally, enabling entirely online transactions, and is building a first-of-its-kind, end-to-end marketplace for Latin America. The company makes homeownership more accessible to many in Latin America, where lack of infrastructure and access to transparent information can impede people’s ability to buy homes. La Haus facilitates over $500 million in annualized gross transaction value.

La Haus has facilitated nearly 4,000 transactions — by far the most of any proptech company in Mexico or Colombia.

«We couldn’t possibly have imagined a year ago what life would be like right now, but we are grateful that the company we built pre-Covid was in a position to help so many Latin Americans find and buy their perfect home during the pandemic,» said La Haus co-founder and President Rodrigo Sánchez-Ríos. «For most people, homeownership is key for the creation of wealth and stability. Before now, it’s been out of reach for many Mexicans and Colombians. We’re excited to use this funding to bring this opportunity to many more people across Latin America.»

La Haus was well-positioned to help Latin Americans buy homes online — and to help sellers and developers sell those homes — when Covid struck. Amid the backdrop of a booming housing market, the company has experienced double-digit month-over-month revenue growth, while increasing efficiency and customer satisfaction. In Mexico, the company quintupled its business over the last 12 months, and facilitates more transactions than any other brokerage in Mexico City.

Also in the past year, La Haus has hired a management team experienced in scaling companies. Among its leaders is Chief Product Officer Thomas Floracks, co-founder of VivaReal, the real estate portal in Brazil. After VivaReal merged with Zap Imoveis, the combined company was recently acquired by OLX Brazil for US $650 million. Under Floracks’ leadership, La Haus has created a Latam-leading product experience to search, view and seamlessly transact homes.

«We see incredible opportunity in proptech companies growing in Latin America, a region with more than 600 million people, and relatively low but ever-growing homeownership rates,» said Seyonne Kang, Partner at Greenspring Associates. «They face less competition from legacy companies and serve a huge and growing population that is just starting to embrace online transactions. La Haus stood out as a leader in this space due to their vision and track record, having already scaled their young company across two countries. We are excited about the company’s prospects and look forward to being a part of their continued success.»

La Haus has also developed partnerships with significant developers in Mexico and Colombia, including Mexico-based GDC Desarrollos, CLASS, Punto Destino, Yukon, and Terraforma. Developers have leveraged La Haus’s audience and transaction technology to take online a formerly showroom- and staff-driven sales process, shortening time to sale.

La Haus was founded by Jerónimo Uribe, CEO; Rodrigo Sánchez-Ríos, president; Tomás Uribe, director; and Santiago Garcia, CTO. Jerónimo Uribe and Sánchez-Ríos met at Stanford University, and prior to La Haus they started and ran Jaguar Capital, a Colombian real estate development company with over $350 million of retail and residential projects. Garcia previously built technology platforms at Jaguar Capital.

About La Haus
La Haus is transforming the real estate industry in Latin America, bringing consumers an end-to-end marketplace aimed at addressing the many hardships home buyers and sellers face in Latin America. The company makes homeownership more accessible to many in Latin America, where lack of infrastructure and access to transparent information can impede people’s ability to buy homes. The company launched in 2017 and today operates property search portals lahaus.com in Colombia and lahaus.mx in Mexico — the first portals that ensure high-quality and de-duplicated listings — and a brokerage that is facilitating more than $400 million in annualized gross transaction value.

La Haus is based in Medellin, Colombia, and operates in Medellin, Bogota and Mexico City.

About Greenspring Associates
Greenspring Associates was founded in 2000 to focus solely on venture capital investments. Through a comprehensive platform, the Firm serves as a lifecycle partner for fund managers and entrepreneurs, investing across multiple stages, sectors and geographies.

2021 Honda Ridgeline Arriving Next Month Ready to Rumble with Rugged New Look

TORRANCE, Calif., Jan. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The 2021 Honda Ridgeline begins arriving at Honda dealerships on Feb. 2, with bold new styling underscoring its rugged and versatile pickup truck capabilities. Ridgeline’s standard V6 power, fully independent suspension and standard torque-vectoring i-VTM4^® all-wheel drive give it the capability to tackle challenging trails and treacherous roads with class-leading ride and handling….

The 2021 Honda Ridgeline begins arriving at Honda dealerships on Feb. 2, with bold new styling underscoring its rugged and versatile pickup truck capabilities. Ridgeline’s standard V6 power, fully independent suspension and standard torque-vectoring i-VTM4® all-wheel drive give it the capability to tackle challenging trails and treacherous roads with class-leading ride and handling. Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Prices (MSRP) start at $36,490.

Ridgeline continues to bring unmatched versatility, including the segment’s largest interior for passengers and gear, a brilliantly versatile bed featuring the class-exclusive In-Bed Trunk^® lockable storage compartment, and best-in-class standard AWD model payload capacity.

For the 2021 model year, Ridgeline features all-new sheet metal from the front roof pillars forward, including a new hood with a pronounced power bulge, a new squared off nose and upright grille, and new front fenders. Flanking the grille are new, brighter LED headlights bisected by the crossbar atop the grille, which is painted gloss black on Sport trims and Black Edition, and is chrome plated on RTL and RTL-E. The body-color lower front bumper further accentuates the Ridgeline’s tough new look with a prominent skid plate and broad side vents that create air curtains to route air through the bumper and around the front tires and wheels to improve aerodynamic performance. A reshaped rear bumper exposes aggressive new twin exhaust outlets, and all Ridgeline trims feature tougher looking 18-inch wheels and an additional 20 mm of track width to give Ridgeline a broader, more planted stance. New tires top off the more rugged look with a more aggressive sidewall and shoulder design. Ridgeline also adds a new Radiant Red Metallic to its exterior color palette.

A new HPD Package was developed in collaboration with Honda Performance Development (HPD), Honda’s U.S.-based racing company, and adds a unique grille treatment, an HPD emblem, black fender flares, aggressive bronze-colored wheels, and special HPD graphics on the side of the bed—for a suggested retail price of $2,800. It’s one of four new post-production option packages available on all Ridgeline trims that include Utility ($1,465), Function ($270), and Function+ ($1,315).

Inside, the 2021 Ridgeline adds a physical volume knob for the audio system, and wireless phone charging. Plus, all Ridgeline trims get new contrast stitching on the seats; Sport trims add new cloth seat inserts; and Sport, RTL and RTL-E trims have new dash, steering wheel and center console accents. Ridgeline’s spacious cabin offers top-class passenger comfort and rear-seat legroom, with a flat floor and foldaway 60/40-split rear seat bottoms, offering enhanced flexibility for carrying long and tall items in the cabin.

A 280-horsepower, 3.5-liter direct-injected VTEC^® V6 backed by a smooth and responsive 9-speed automatic transmission powers every 2021 Honda Ridgeline, with i-VTM4^® torque-vectoring all-wheel drive now standard across the lineup. The i-VTM4^® system automatically sends up to 70 percent of the engine’s 262 lb.-ft. (SAE net) of torque to the rear wheels and continuously apportions 100 percent of that torque between the left and right rear wheels based on driving conditions at each wheel. Ridgeline’s standard Intelligent Traction Dynamics System further optimizes power delivery and distribution in various conditions, including snow, pavement, mud and sand.

All 2021 Honda Ridgelines come standard with the Honda Sensing^® suite of safety and driver-assistive technologies, featuring Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™) with Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS), Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) with Lane Departure Warning (LDW), and Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC). Ridgeline also targets top-class collision safety ratings from National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), including an NCAP 5-star Overall Vehicle Score, a «GOOD» rating in all IIHS collision tests, and a «SUPERIOR» IIHS rating for front crash prevention.

Angel Osiris Milian’s new book La Despedida por un Vencido, a riveting memoir that exposes the American injustice in the judicial system

DELTONA, Fla., Jan. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The book La Despedida por un Vencido was created by Angel Osiris Milian. Angel is an author who hails from Morón, Cuba. At the request of his family and friends, he left Cuba and arrived in the United States of America from the Guantánamo Bay Naval Base.

<a…

Angel Osiris Milian said this about his book: «I believe in American justice. I am fully aware of the value represented by its independence from other powers. This book is not a challenge to its judicial system but the human condition. Man continues to be the same selfish being from the beginning who likes to run over the weakest and bow down to the strong. Those who think that laws can change human nature are wrong. How a trial and its components are structured is of no use when the heart of its executors is perverse. This and no other is the reason why this testimony is given. This is the real experience of an unethical jury, a judge, a prosecutor, and a public defender obsessed with punishing a poor man to please the excesses of a police inspector who lies. They know it well, but they fear going against him.

But the case does not end here. The policeman who arrests me does not attend the trial either. My accuser turns out to be a famous inspector that I do not remember having seen before and he fabricates a laughable story due to its degree of irrationality and contradictions. His testimony would not have withstood a slight investigation. The prosecution, in complicity with the judge and my public defender, dedicated themselves to hiding the evidence required for the case.

Hopefully this case leads to the sincere reflection of those who, having the opportunity to make a fair trial, preferred to stain the justice of this great nation with their conduct.»

Published by Page Publishing, Angel Osiris Milian’s new book La Despedida por un Vencido presents a no-holds-barred account of the author’s harrowing experiences with the corrupt justice system in America that greatly impacted his life as well as others who share a similar journey with him.

Consumers who wish to be aware of the prevailing crimes against humanity in America can purchase La Despedida por un Vencido in any bookstore or online at Apple iTunes, Amazon.com, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Hispanics’ Consumer Confidence Declines in Fourth Quarter

BOCA RATON, Fla., Jan. 13, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Hispanics in the United States did not end 2020 with an optimistic view of their financial situations, even as new COVID-19 vaccines are expected to help the nation recover from the devastating effects of the pandemic.

In the fourth quarter of 2020, the Hispanic Consumer Sentiment Index fell to 79.3, about six points shy of the third quarter mark, according to the <a target="_blank"…

In the fourth quarter of 2020, the Hispanic Consumer Sentiment Index fell to 79.3, about six points shy of the third quarter mark, according to the Florida Atlantic University Business and Economics Polling Initiative (FAU BEPI) in FAU’s College of Business.

The fourth quarter number, while about the same as the general population’s consumer confidence sentiment published by the University of Michigan, is nearly 22 points lower than it was a year ago before the start of the pandemic.

«Hispanics may be less optimistic due to the fact that the Latino unemployment rate is higher than the overall unemployment rate in the United States,» said Monica Escaleras, Ph.D., director of FAU BEPI.

The fourth quarter poll found that 47 percent of Hispanics said they are better off financially today than a year ago, compared to 57 percent who felt that way during the third quarter. In addition, 62 percent of respondents said they expect to be better off financially in the next year, while 69 percent of respondents felt that way in the third quarter.

The latest survey also revealed that fewer respondents feel it is a good time to buy big-ticket items, while more respondents believe the cost of living has gone up.

Still, Hispanics appear confident in the long-run economic outlook, with 66 percent saying they expect it to be good in the next five years. That’s up nine points from the third quarter.

The poll is based on a sampling of 617 Hispanics, 18 years of age and older, from Oct. 1 to Dec. 31, 2020. The margin of error is +/- 3.95 percentage points. The survey was administered using both landlines via IVR data collection and online data collection using Dynata.
