Conectando la movilidad con las personas a través de ‘Hiperconectividad eléctrica’ (X-by-Wire, SPM Module)

SEUL, Corea del Sur, 12 de enero de 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Mando revela su nueva visión basada en la seguridad y la libertad, la «Libertad en Movilidad», en CES 2021.

Mando Freedom in Vehicle Architecture by SbW

Mando explica los detalles de «Libertad» que definen, especialmente en términos de libertad en movilidad como «Libertad de Espacio«, «Entrega Inteligente», etc. Además, se introducirá una futura solución automotriz, en la que un vehículo se comunique sin problemas con un conductor a través de un módulo integrado de tecnología «x-by-Wire», incluidos BbW (Brake-by-Wire) y SbW (Steer-by-Wire) de Mando conectados por la hiperconectividad eléctrica. El módulo de movilidad personal inteligente (módulo SPM) conecta a las personas con la micro-movilidad. El módulo SPM, como el primer sistema asistido por pedal sin cadena del mundo, proporciona la libertad para el diseño de la micro movilidad.

La «libertad de espacio» permite la libertad en las actividades en la cabina más allá de los límites arquitectónicos de un vehículo. En el modo de conducción totalmente autónomo, la libertad de espacio es especialmente necesaria porque un conductor tiene todo este tiempo disponible para actividades que no sean conducir. Con SbW (Steer-by-Wire) de Mando, que ha sido galardonado con el CES 2021 Innovation Award Honoree, se habilita la función de almacenamiento automático que permite guardar el volante cuando no está en uso y se saca de nuevo para su uso cuando sea necesario. Así es como SbW se da cuenta de la verdadera libertad en el espacio. Los fabricantes de automóviles ahora pueden disfrutar de la libertad de sus límites arquitectónicos del diseño de vehículos. La tecnología «by-wire» de Mando también se puede aplicar al sistema de frenos, que se llama BbW (Brake by Wire). Se compone de 4 unidades de EMB (Electro Mechanical Brake), montadas en «módulo de 4 esquinas (4 ruedas)», «E-Brake-Pedal (electronic brake pedal)», y DCU (Unidad de Control de Dominio). El freno por cable elimina ESC (Control Electrónico de Estabilidad), booster (impulso de freno), cable de estacionamiento, tubo de aceite del motor, etc., y obviamente es operado sólo por señal eléctrica pura. «E-Brake-Pedal» también tiene la función «auto stow» para guardar el pedal cuando no está en uso y sacarlo de nuevo cuando sea necesario. Definitivamente ofrece mucho más espacio libre en el espacio para las piernas de los conductores. BbW no utiliza aceite de freno, por lo que es fácil de mantener y respetuoso con el medio ambiente. Mando, como la única empresa en el mundo en desarrollar/fabricar frenos, dirección, suspensión y ADAS, ha estado acelerando el desarrollo de «In-Wheel-Motor (pieza de accionamiento en vehículo eléctrico)» y «ECM (Electric-Corner-Module)» basado en la experiencia de diseño de ‘SbW’ y ‘BbW’.

El «SPM Module (Smart Personal Mobility Module)» introducido por Mando es un sistema de accionamiento eléctrico asistido por pedal sin cadena. Los fabricantes de micro movilidad son los clientes objetivo. SPM Module permite los nuevos conceptos de 2, 3 o 4 ruedas y también proporciona varios estilos de vida en número de escenas en nuestra vida diaria. SPM Module, con tecnología de vanguardia como IA, IoT, Cloud, etc., está dirigido primero al mercado de entrega, y está previsto comenzar a abrirse camino en el mercado europeo este año.

La tecnología de conducción autónoma de Mando tiene su prioridad en la seguridad de los conductores. Mando, que desarrolla / fabrica desde el sensor de detección (cámara, radar, etc.) hasta el controlador principal (DCU: unidad de control de dominio) y el software de control, introduce la tecnología de control de seguridad dual (redundante) basada en la «DCU de alto rendimiento» en este CES. Este dispositivo de seguridad dual también se aplica al componente de freno y dirección (sistema de conducción).

Mando planea acercarse al cliente global en este CES. Tomando CES 2021 como un comienzo, Mando está mostrando su firme voluntad de desafiar el futuro sin ninguna limitación como proveedor de soluciones integradas de movilidad de vanguardia.

Los clips de vídeo que transmiten los mensajes de Mando CES 2021 estarán disponibles en el canal de YouTube de Mando a partir del 12 de enero (hora coreana).

Survey: Pandemic Devastates Americans’ Finances – but Bolsters Financial Acumen

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Jan. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — COVID-19 might have permanently changed how an entire generation thinks about spending, saving, and debt – and in ways that might offer a silver lining to a devastating pandemic, says Jean Chatzky, best-selling author and CEO of

Approximately 45 percent of survey respondents feel that President-Elect Biden will be good for their finances.

HerMoney partnered with Debt.com and polled more than 1,000 working Americans about their financial habits as the pandemic dragged on into December. The results were surprising and profound:

While most Americans do not have an emergency fund, more than 8 in 10 of those who lost money due to the pandemic told HerMoney and Debt.com, «I now realize how important it is to save money for emergencies.»

Credit card debt has long topped $1 trillion in this country and was trending up before the pandemic, but the survey shows nearly 1 in 5 people say, «I’m paying more attention to the interest rates on my credit cards.»

Nearly 1 out of 5 now rethink how they make large purchases, saying they’re more willing to buy used cars and other pre-owned big-ticket items.

A quarter of American adults have nothing saved for retirement, according to the U.S. Federal Reserve, but only around 15 percent of survey respondents reported, «I’m not ignoring retirement savings like I once did.»

Both Chatzky and Debt.com chairman Howard Dvorkin, CPA are surprised by the results and hopeful for a post-pandemic financial future.

«I’ve spent the better part of my professional life convincing Americans to stop running up debts,» Chatzky says. «That’s a hard argument to make when times are good. Even the Great Recession had only a temporary effect on spending, but this time seems very, very different. Maybe this will prove to be the silver lining from this awful time.»

Other survey findings:

Over 34 percent of respondents lost at least a quarter of their household income
Of those who lost income, 94.6 percent cut their spending by at least 25 percent, while only 5 percent say they are still spending just as much as they did pre-pandemic.
Almost 30 percent admit to finally sticking to a budget, even though they had made a budget in the past and did not stick with it
Approximately 45 percent of respondents feel that President-Elect Biden will be good for their finances

For Dvorkin, the pandemic has made being a financial counselors both harder and easier. «It’s been tough hearing how hardworking Americans are struggling to make ends meet. These aren’t lazy people looking for a handout. These are Americans who want to work but can’t. Then again, I hear hope for the future in their voices – especially when they tell me, ‘Howard, now I get it. Never again will I forgo an emergency fund.’ If we can emerge from this pandemic with this profound psychological shift in our thinking about money, we might avoid a lot of pain in the future.»

Statement from Dr. Miriam Adelson on the passing of her husband, Sheldon G. Adelson

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Dr. Miriam Adelson released the following statement on the death of her husband and Las Vegas Sands (NYSE: LVS) Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Sheldon G. Adelson:

It is with unbearable pain that I announce the death of my husband, Sheldon G. Adelson, of complications from a long illness.

Sheldon was the love of my life. He was my partner in…

It is with unbearable pain that I announce the death of my husband, Sheldon G. Adelson, of complications from a long illness.

Sheldon was the love of my life. He was my partner in romance, philanthropy, political activism and enterprise. He was my soulmate.

To me – as to his children, grandchildren, and his legions of friends and admirers, employees and colleagues – he is utterly irreplaceable.

Much has been written and said about how Sheldon, the son of poor immigrants, rose to the pinnacle of business success on the strength of grit and genius, inspiration and integrity. His was an all-American story of entrepreneurship. When Sheldon launched a new venture, the world looked on with anticipation.

In our amazing 32-year adventure together, I was fortunate to witness the beauty of Sheldon’s private side.

He was an American patriot: a U.S. Army veteran who gave generously to wounded warriors and, wherever he could, looked to the advancement of these great United States. He was the proudest of Jews, who saw in the State of Israel not only the realization of an historical promise to a unique and deserving people, but also a gift from the Almighty to all of humanity.

And Sheldon was kind. He gave readily of his fortune to charitable causes that may literally be countless, as he expected no credit and often preferred anonymity. Although bluff in build and speech – and, in the last two decades, beset by painful sickness – Sheldon was always sensitive to the needs of others.

Visit any of our hotels and you will immediately notice the extraordinarily high ceilings, exquisitely designed by Sheldon at a sacrifice of lucrative space. He wanted all of our guests – no matter their means – to feel like kings, to breathe free in gorgeous tranquility. When the COVID-19 crisis hit and those hotels went dark, he insisted that our tens of thousands of Team Members continue getting their wages and medical insurance.

Each of those people, and millions of other beneficiaries of Sheldon’s largesse, are his testimonials.

But he went beyond bettering the lives of individuals: He crafted the course of nations. Some of the historical changes that he helped effect – in the United States, Israel and elsewhere – are publicly known. Others are not. For Sheldon, recognition of his own indispensable role was unimportant. What counted was that good be done. He cared about standing up for what was right, even if that meant standing alone. His ideal day’s end was in the company of family and friends, not statesmen or celebrities.

Sheldon and I grew up on coasts: him in Boston, me in Haifa. Together we sailed across oceans, pushed back the Pearl River Delta to help develop Macao’s future, recreated the Venice lagoon canals in Las Vegas. To me, Sheldon had power and depth and mystery like the sea. His devotion lifted me up, like waves, through challenges both personal and professional.

And now he is gone. The supporting waters have vanished heavenward. Only a vast, dry seabed remains. The loss is colossal.

Farewell, my darling, my one true love. After gaining and giving so much, you have earned this rest.

— Dr. Miriam Adelson

Despite New Stimulus, More Than 3 Million Renters Facing COVID-19 Unemployment Bear Extreme Housing Cost Burden

SEATTLE, Jan. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — For millions of renters who remain unemployed during the COVID-19 pandemic, the recently finalized fiscal stimulus package is desperately needed relief. The additional payments will bring their typical rent burdens from more than 80% of their income to less than half, a new Zillow® analysis shows. While the extra assistance helps on a monthly basis, millions behind on their rent still face an incredible challenge in catching up on payments that have piled up before temporary eviction moratoriums expire.

Renters have carried much of the financial burden throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, in large part because of dramatic job losses in high-contact industries that are often staffed by renters. Zillow estimates at least 3 million renters who were employed last March had lost their jobs and were still out of work in November, including more than a million in the accommodation and food services industries that have been devastated by restrictions aimed at limiting the spread of COVID-19ⁱ.

Federal and state unemployment insurance is now the primary source of income for these renters who have lost their jobs. In November, a typical unemployed renter living alone spent 81.2% of that income on rent. The additional $300 a week from the current stimulus package will bring the typical rent burden down to 43%ⁱⁱ.

That is a huge improvement, but still well above the 30% threshold at which a household is officially «rent burdened.» Previous research from Zillow and collaborators at the University of Pennsylvania and Boston University found that homelessness rates in a community rise sharply once typical rent burdens climb above 30%. The additional $600 a week in unemployment insurance payments from the CARES Act passed in late March brought the rent burden down to 29.5% for unemployed renters paying the typical rent.

«This analysis shows how much even relatively modest amounts of financial assistance can mean to struggling renters,» said Chris Glynn, senior economist at Zillow. «Even though supplemental assistance has resumed, there are financial wounds to heal from the three-month period when some renters were sending more than 80% of their unemployment benefits out the door on the first of the month. Temporary eviction moratoriums and unemployment insurance alone may not be enough to keep some renters who have steadily accumulated debts in their homes long term. Housing vulnerability for renters will be a top issue for the incoming administration.»

A federal eviction moratorium remains in place to keep those unable to pay in their homes, though industry estimates show only small drops in the share of renters making payments in full compared to a year earlier. But the rent owed continues to accrue even without the looming threat of an eviction. A study by Moody’s Analytics estimated that nearly 12 million renters will owe an average of about $6,000 in back rent and utilities by this month. While unemployed renters remain significantly rent burdened, the additional $300 payments may help reduce the debt they will eventually owe when eviction moratoriums expire.

Renters who maintained stable employment in 2020, however, saw their rent burdens stabilize during the pandemic due to slowing rent growth for much of the year. In November, the typical U.S. renter who did not receive unemployment benefits paid an estimated 29.6% of their income on rent, a small improvement from 29.8% in Marchⁱⁱⁱ. Rent growth has shown the first signs of a bounceback, potentially reversing the small gains employed renters made in 2021 and making it more difficult for the millions who have fallen behind on payments.

Catching up any debts accrued will likely prove difficult for many who did not have much financial breathing room to begin with. Low-income renters typically spent 53.1% of their income on rent in 2019^iv, and Zillow research from before the pandemic and resulting recession showed that only 51% of renters said they could afford an unexpected $1,000 expense^v.

Another potential cliff looms on March 14 when the current $300 weekly supplement expires.
