Veoneer products enable level 3 hands-off self-driving tech

Leave a comment

STOCKHOLM, Sept. 6, 2021 — The automotive technology company Veoneer, Inc. (NYSE: VNE) and (SSE: VNE SDB), is proud contributor to the Highly Automated Driving solution in the Mercedes-Benz S-class, equipped to offer level 3 hands-off self-driving tech.

During the fall, Mercedes-Benz’ DRIVE PILOT system is being introduced with greater performance from Veoneer’s Stereo Vision and Radar products to support level 3 self-driving.

Veoneer’s 4th generation stereo vision camera system is comprised of fully integrated hardware and perception software to master the challenges of highly automated driving. The stereo vision camera system uses Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) technology in combination with 3D stereo for accurate classification and positioning of objects in front of the vehicle. Functions enabled by the stereo camera are lane detection, free space, small obstacle detection and 3D objects classification. Additionally, the stereo camera is contributing to the detection of emergency vehicles and construction warning trailers to support level 3 driving.

Veoneer’s 77GHz radar, generation 1.2 including corner radars, offer high range resolution and angular accuracy. The radar has been adapted since launch to additionally support the HAF-Level 3 solution. Veoneer Radars are an important component contributing to the vehicles spatial awareness, which is increasingly important for the HAF-Level 3 use cases. Built upon novel algorithms, the resulting performance provides superior angular resolution allowing the Drive Pilot system to discern pedestrians, and vehicles.

Mercedes-Benz DRIVE PILOT system is a prime example of collaborative driving; as a level 3 system, the car can take control under certain conditions, but the driver needs to be ready to retake the wheel when needed within 10 seconds.  

"I am truly proud of Veoneer’s contribution to Mercedes-Benz AG; our world-class products are an integral part of the Drive Pilot system, but more importantly, I am even more proud of our way of working closely integrated with our customer in an agile manner, ensuring the end-consumers get superior features that improve driver convenience and safety," says Jan Carlson, Chairman, President and CEO of Veoneer.

NDB initiates membership expansion, extends global outreach

Leave a comment

Development bank established by BRICS welcomes the admission of UAE, Uruguay and Bangladesh as new members

SHANGHAI, Sept. 2, 2021 — The New Development Bank (NDB) – established by BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) in 2015 – has initiated its membership expansion.

NDB’s Board of Governors authorized the Bank to conduct formal negotiations with prospective members in late 2020. After a round of successful negotiations, NDB approved the admission of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Uruguay and Bangladesh as its first new member countries.

"We are delighted to welcome the UAE, Uruguay and Bangladesh to the NDB family. New members will have in NDB a platform to foster their cooperation in infrastructure and sustainable development", said Mr. Marcos Troyjo, President of NDB. "We will continue to expand the Bank’s membership in a gradual and balanced manner".

"The United Arab Emirates’ membership in the New Development Bank represents a new step to enhance the role of the UAE economy on the global stage, especially in light of the great capabilities and expertise that the country possesses in supporting infrastructure projects and sustainable development. This monumental step would not have been achieved without the vision and directions of the UAE leadership who believe in the importance of supporting development projects around the world especially in the emerging economies", said H.E. Obaid Humaid Al Tayer, Minister of State for Financial Affairs of the UAE.  

"Uruguay sees in the NDB a great opportunity to harness cooperation with its member countries, aiming to achieve stronger international integration in trade and cross-border investment flows", said H.E. Azucena Arbeleche, Minister of Economy and Finance of Uruguay.

"Membership of Bangladesh to NDB has paved way for a new partnership at a momentous time of 50th anniversary of our independence. Membership in the NDB is an important step forward in meeting the development vision of our Hon’ble Prime Minister, Sheikh Hasina. We look forward to working closely with NDB to build together a prosperous and equitable world for our next generation as dreamt by our Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman", said Hon. A H M Mustafa Kamal, Minister of Finance of Bangladesh.

Once admitted, a country’s membership to NDB becomes effective when it completes its domestic processes and deposits the instrument of accession.

Since the beginning of its operations, NDB approved about 80 projects in all of its members, totaling a portfolio of US$ 30 billion. Projects in areas such as transport, water and sanitation, clean energy, digital infrastructure, social infrastructure and urban development are within the scope of the Bank.

NDB’s membership expansion is in line with the Bank’s strategy to be positioned as the premier development institution for emerging economies.

Background information

NDB was established by Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa to mobilize resources for infrastructure and sustainable development projects in BRICS and other emerging economies and developing countries, complementing the existing efforts of multilateral and regional financial institutions for global growth and development. NDB has an authorized capital of US$ 100 billion, which is open for subscription by members of the United Nations.

Near Announces Strategic Partnership with Stellar Ace in Singapore

Leave a comment

SINGAPORE, July 22, 2021 — Near, the largest global source of intelligence on people and places announces a strategic partnership with Stellar Ace in Singapore. The new partnership will enable both companies to jointly help clients drive footfall to their stores by retargeting the audience seen around the brand’s OOH advertisements, on online (mobile) channels with Ace Biota, aptly named to reflect the correlation of community and environment to function as a unit.

This follows the recent acquisition of UM (formerly Uber Media) a leading provider of data insights and analytics solutions for Fortune 100 and 500 companies in the United States. With the acquisition and partnership, Near will strengthen its presence in South East Asia as well as the United States, turning the company into "a truly global organization," while also tailoring its product to offer "local flavors" in each country.

Near and Stellar Ace recently implemented the solution for a well-known fast-food brand in Singapore to great success. With the objective to drive in-store footfall from the audience exposed to OOH ads on various Stellar Ace properties, the campaign was hugely successful by increasing the in-store visit rate for the brand by 271%.

On the need for going beyond just traditional OOH, Stellar Ace Vice President Jeslyn Tan said, "In a daily consumer journey, the outdoor space is still relevant as audiences TRAVEL-EAT-SHOP as part of their lifestyle. With Ace Biota powered by Near, we help our clients implement and optimize their audience reach from Offline (OOH) to Online (Mobile) media channels. We are also mindful of the current client landscape of ROI-driven commitment. With Near, Stellar Ace is now able to deliver a performance-driven and measurable outcome for the clients. We are confident that this newfound capability will offer our clients the ‘stickiness’ that every brand desires in assuring brand recall and association."

Near’s co-founder and chief revenue officer Shobhit Shukla said, "We are very excited to partner with Stellar Ace to bring the value of data intelligence to OOH media space.
