Higher usage of components like camera and sensors, which monitor the alertness of the driver as well as checks their level of vigilance, health, current state, and warns the driver about signs of drowsiness or distraction, are the primary growth propellers for this market. Additionally, the growing usage of DMS for driver identification and control functions using the eyes will contribute to more safety and better intuitive use of the new generation of driver assistance functions and help the market grow remarkably.

The need for driver monitoring is rising not only in the passenger vehicle segment but also in the commercial vehicle segment, wherein challenges are more significant as compared with the passenger segment. Apart from all of the above-mentioned concerns, drivers are also working long hours, many a time more than what is advised or specified.

Deposition Disputes Diamond’s Claims Against Newton Group

PHOENIX, Oct. 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Newton Group has published an article on newtongroup.com outlining Diamond Resorts’ alleged false and misleading public relations campaign targeting them, which was revealed in the <span…

PHOENIX, Oct. 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Newton Group has published an article on newtongroup.com outlining Diamond Resorts’ alleged false and misleading public relations campaign targeting them, which was revealed in the September 24 legal deposition of Diane Reeve, a former Newton Group client. Deposition evidence disputes Diamond’s allegations touted in a September 15, 2020 press release and filed in a lawsuit against Newton Group and DC Capital Law on behalf of the Reeves claiming Newton Group «deceived [the Reeves] into purchasing illusory timeshare exit services».

Reeve testified she received the services provided by Newton Group and DC Capital Law—and that she benefited from those services. This latest lawsuit by Diamond Resorts will trigger a vigorous defense; whereby Newton Group will seek significant monetary sanctions against Diamond Resorts for its alleged frivolous and abusive conduct.

The Reeves hired Newton Group—a leading timeshare exit company—who went to work on behalf of the retired couple. As part of their services, Newton Group retained the Reeves individual legal representation at DC Capital Law to ensure their rights would be protected throughout the exit process.  

«We are confident in our services and our track record proves we’ve successfully helped thousands of timeshare owners safely and legally end their ownership. Facts speak for themselves—our efforts led to the Reeves exiting their timeshare contracts,» said Gordon Newton, President of Newton Group and a non-attorney co-founding partner in DC Capital Law. «We are happy to see truth prevail.»

Newton Group continues to make headway in federal court against Diamond’s allegations, including those of false advertising. On July 31, 2020 the court denied Diamond’s motion for summary judgment by stating that Diamond Resorts failed to meet its burden of proving a Newton Group advertisement to be false.

About Newton Group
Newton Group, a leader in the timeshare exit industry for over 15 years, is dedicated to helping consumers exit their unwanted timeshares through our unique dual services that combine the protection of personal legal representation with the power of our expert timeshare exit services. Newton Group is A+ rated at the Better Business Bureau (BBB), finalists for the Torch Award for Ethics, authors of «The Consumer’s Guide to Timeshare Exit» and has five-star ratings at Google, Trustpilot and the BBB.

WarnerMedia Content Available in Millions of GM Vehicles

DALLAS, Oct. 20, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — AT&T*, WarnerMedia and General Motors (GM) are raising the bar on the driving experience with AT&T connectivity and in-vehicle WarnerMedia premium entertainment. With the ongoing collaboration, drivers of select Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac vehicles will have access to the best of both worlds – high-speed Internet and world-class entertainment – while on the go.

DALLAS, Oct. 20, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — AT&T*, WarnerMedia and General Motors (GM) are raising the bar on the driving experience with AT&T connectivity and in-vehicle WarnerMedia premium entertainment. With the ongoing collaboration, drivers of select Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac vehicles will have access to the best of both worlds – high-speed Internet and world-class entertainment – while on the go.

Millions of vehicle owners and their passengers across the U.S. now have first-of-its-kind access to WarnerMedia RIDE, offering unique video content on personal smartphones or tablets connected to in-car Wi-Fi hotspots. That includes news and sports programming and content from brands such as Bleacher Report, Boomerang, Cartoon Network, CNN, TBS, TNT and more. AT&T also plans to offer HBO Max on qualifying data plans next year.

«General Motors pioneered the connected car industry and we continue to put our customers at the center of what those connections can offer,» said Santiago Chamorro, vice president, GM Global Connected Services. «The addition of WarnerMedia’s library of podcasts, movies and television programming – combined with AT&T’s Wi-Fi connectivity – is just another way we’re enhancing the ownership experience for our customers, whether that’s a family looking to entertain kids in a Chevrolet Suburban or a commuter enjoying a favorite podcast in a Cadillac CT5.»

General Motors and AT&T introduced the widest deployment of 4G LTE-connected vehicles. GM now has more than 1 million data subscribers, led primarily by families in SUVs like the Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban, GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade. These new WarnerMedia content offerings give more choice and more value to those families and new audio entertainment to better serve those in the driver’s seat.

«We’ve long been committed to ensuring our customers can be connected and entertained just about anywhere,» said Sarita Rao, senior vice president, AT&T Business Marketing. «Bringing content from the WarnerMedia library across GM vehicle brands is another step toward keeping customers connected to the world around them and the content they love.»

«This relationship with GM means we can fully connect car owners with new immersive experiences and exclusive content to create meaningful connections for the whole family,» said Barry Loudis, vice president, WarnerMedia Content Experiences.  

WarnerMedia RIDE will be available with AT&T unlimited data plans1 in connected cars at no additional cost across U.S domestic car brands. Passengers can download the WarnerMedia RIDE app on the App Store (iOS 11+) or Google Play (Android 9+) starting today.  Customers will have a user-friendly interface with a new authentication feature that lets users access content once the app senses the vehicle’s Wi-Fi hotspot.

GM customers already have access to WarnerMedia Audio, including more than 70 podcasts and hundreds of hours of audio content from WarnerMedia’s vast podcast library and live audio simulcasts from the WarnerMedia news networks.

HBO Max
AT&T also plans to offer HBO Max as a unique premium bundle of connectivity and content for AT&T connected car data plan subscribers next year. This would mean 10,000 hours of curated premium content from iconic brands such as HBO Max, Warner Bros., Cartoon Network, Looney Tunes and more through in-vehicle Wi-Fi.

AT&T and GM have worked together to connect vehicles with high-speed wireless connectivity since 2014. With a vision of keeping safety first and reducing driver distraction, AT&T and WarnerMedia have developed the WarnerMedia Audio app to ensure that the driver can control and listen to front seat content while keeping their eyes on the road. AT&T and WarnerMedia have also kept driver safety in mind with WarnerMedia RIDE by including AT&T’s It Can Wait campaign, which shares a simple message: Please don’t drive distracted.  WarnerMedia RIDE is intended for passenger use only when vehicle is in operation. Take the pledge to drive distraction free at ItCanWait.com.

Owners of Chevrolet, Buick, GMC or Cadillac vehicles can go to my.gm.com to get more information and find out if their vehicle is eligible for WarnerMedia content.

1 Existing AT&T Unlimited Plan customers are eligible for this offer. No existing TV subscription is required.

Election Escape Plan: 3 Things to Do Right Now If You Want to Move Out of the U.S.–Internationalliving.com

BALTIMORE, Oct. 20, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — «In the runup to the U.S. presidential election, we’re seeing Internet search traffic surge around the idea of moving out of the U.S.,» says Jennifer Stevens, Executive Editor, International Living. «With international travel restricted at the moment, folks interested in relocating can use this time at home wisely to not only research their best options for <a target="_blank"…

BALTIMORE, Oct. 20, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — «In the runup to the U.S. presidential election, we’re seeing Internet search traffic surge around the idea of moving out of the U.S.,» says Jennifer Stevens, Executive Editor, International Living. «With international travel restricted at the moment, folks interested in relocating can use this time at home wisely to not only research their best options for where to go abroad—but also to simply get prepared for a move,» says Jennifer Stevens, Executive Editor, International Living.

«Creating connections to where you want to live is something you can start doing before you ever leave. You can connect online in Facebook groups, for instance. You can start to learn the local language. These are smart ways to lay the groundwork for a smooth transition, and we’ve itemized the steps to take in our report,» Stevens says.

«Trying to sort out what needs to happen for a ‘forever move’ can be incredibly intimidating. No doubt, plenty of potential expats have walked up to their attics, taken one look at everything that needs going through, turned around, and decided to just stay home.

«So it’s important to realize that there’s an easier way. Consider making a move in smaller steps. Think about a three-month escape or a year-long getaway. Come at this idea with a ‘one-step-at-a-time’ attitude and it’s likely to be easier and more enjoyable.»

International Living’s report «Three Things You Can Do Right Now If You Are Considering a Move Abroad» details three useful steps potential expats can take today to prepare for the possibility of a big move in the future.

1.    Engage a Native Online Language Tutor

«I hired an online language tutor one year before I moved to Greece, and it was tremendously helpful,» says expat Lynn Roulo. «My Greek tutor lived in Athens, and we did language lessons via Skype while I was still living in San Francisco. The lessons were inexpensive, and my tutor, Rania, gave me advice on neighborhoods to explore, insights about the Greek economy, and even helped me find my first apartment to rent when I did eventually move. Having a local, friendly contact who is interested in your success is extremely helpful during your move to a new country.»

There are many helpful websites like http://www.italki.com or try a free language exchange through portals like http://www.mylanguageexchange.com. Expats recommend finding a tutor who shares some basic interests, or post a question to an online expat group for your target area and see who the local expats recommend for online tutoring.

2.    Join Online Social Networking Groups Based in the New Location

Most people who move abroad need to make new friends and develop a social network. The good news is potential expats can start that process now.

«I joined several Facebook groups including ‘Expats Living in Athens,’ and ‘Foreign Girls Living in Athens’ to help start my new chapter,» Roulo recommends. «In these groups, you can pose questions, follow conversation threads, and get a general sense of community. And you don’t need to limit it to expat groups. You can find local groups in your new town or city that match your interest in things like hiking, painting, or whatever it is you are passionate about.»

Meetup is another great resource where you can see posted events you will be able to attend when you move, according to International Living’s report. Meetup is an events portal that was formed by a group of friends in New York after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. These friends noticed they felt better when they would «meet up» and started to organize around the idea. Now Meetup is a worldwide site offering activities to locals and newcomers alike. While it may not be possible to attend events in person at the moment, it is a good time to start making connections. These groups also can serve as a basis for a social life in your first weeks in a new place.

3.    Research and Plan Reconnaissance Trips

Though folks may not be able to right travel now, it’s a great time to plan a trip for when travel opens up again. For those serious about a move abroad, International Living recommends planning a trip that lasts at least three or four weeks. If possible, go two or three times for several weeks at a time to live in the area in different seasons. It’s a great way to do research and begin looking at neighborhoods to explore, road trips to take, even restaurants to eat at. Planning is fun and with all the online resources available, a tremendous amount of legwork can be done before flights are even booked.

«Equally important is to figure out how you will leave your home during these reconnaissance trips,» says Roulo. «If you have pets or plants, you can consider housesitters through sites like TrustedHousesitters.com. If you worry about missing mail, you can set up services like Earthclassmail.com. And if you wonder how you will communicate while abroad, you can set up international telephone numbers via Skype or install free mobile phone applications like WhatsApp or Viber. Start getting these pieces in place so when you go on your research trips, you are prepared.»
