Posted on August 16, 2022July 2, 2024 by q_admin

The comfort of everyday life comes in many forms. Sometimes we may underestimate the importance of some seemingly insignificant detail that does not affect our well-being in the most obvious way. The RYSE team invites us to assess how much a simple window shade, or more precisely, the possibility of smart control of the shades, can change. The compact and affordable device developed by the company goes beyond providing personal comfort, having a positive impact on the environment. The experts at the World Future Awards appreciated this innovative solution, and this year, RYSE was named the WFA winner in the category of Best Window Shade Automation Platform.

World Future Awards is a global award selecting, recognizing, celebrating, and promoting the best products, software, and services that will transform the global economy and define the landscape of the future. The organization researches inventions across all categories, including technology, beauty, health care, food, home, and entertainment, that are making the world better, smarter, or even a bit more fun. By transforming your home or office into a more comfortable place to live and work, RYSE uses high technology to benefit the community according to strict criteria for the selection of World Future Awards winners.

Every home has window shades, but not always there are conditions for the full realization of their potential and benefits. Controlling the position of shades manually is not convenient, and replacing them with new motorized shades is an exceptionally expensive procedure. The solution to this problem is the RYSE SmartShade, a compact smart device that automates conventional shades for greater comfort and energy savings. It sets curtains in motion by controlling them with chains or cords. Its installation in the window frame requires no special preparation and takes minutes.

Users can control the shades with the RYSE SmartShade via a smartphone, voice speakers, or a timer. It is also possible to configure shade control based on weather sensors. In this case, they will automatically open when it is necessary to harvest daylight and reduce artificial light or close to reduce the cooling load on the room.

Lucid Air: Pushing the Boundaries of Electric Vehicle Industry

Posted on August 8, 2022July 2, 2024 by q_admin

Today it is difficult to imagine what the world will be like in 10, 20, or 30 years in detail. But we can already assume now that it will very likely be a world of sustainable transport, and today we have the opportunity not just to touch it, but to try out the delights of such transport. And for sure, cars in a few decades will be different from Lucid Air, but it is this electric vehicle that can deliver you the driving experience of tomorrow. This is evidenced by the fact that Lucid Motors was awarded the Best Luxury Electric Car at the World Future Awards 2022, a global award selecting and celebrating the best products and services that shape the landscape of the future.

Introducing Lucid Air

Lucid Air is the result of a revolutionary approach to vehicle development that provides an advanced electric vehicle design with optimized interior space. Thanks to the use of their own unique technologies, Lucid Motors presents a completely new image of a luxury car. So, meet Lucid Air, the most powerful, long-range, fast-charging electric car ever made.

Design

If you still doubted that an electric car can be really beautiful and stylish, Lucid Motors designers will make you change your mind. The car’s exterior is inspired by the smooth, natural landscapes of California, coupled with the elegance and clarity of aircraft. The fluid form of the car’s clean lines makes it one of the most aerodynamic vehicles in the world, with a drag coefficient of 0.21.

When you get inside the Lucid Air, you can’t help but be struck by the spaciousness of its ultra-luxurious interior. The miniaturization of the powertrain elements has created a spacious interior space that is hard to expect from a midsize sedan for both driver and passengers. The front and rear trunks of the Air provide an impressive amount of storage space, several times larger than that of other electric cars. The interior features high-quality materials, including Nappa, Alcantara, luxurious textiles, and several options of sustainably harvested wood.

Displays and Controls

The main feature of the interior of the Lucid Air are its displays, which can be safely called the wonders of technology. The main one, a 34-inch hovering Glass Cockpit panel that sweeps around the driver, conveniently displays all the necessary information about the car in 5K resolution. A second display, the Pilot Panel, is centrally located and provides the ability to customize the car’s systems. Air also features turbines and capacitive touchbars on a steering wheel, buttons and a roller control on the center panel for more convenient operation of the car’s media systems and climate control.

Performance

When it comes to range and power, there are several more reasons to speak of Lucid Air in superlatives. The proprietary battery technology allows the car to travel up to 520 miles, according to official EPA figures. And it only takes 20 minutes to recharge the battery for an additional 300 miles. Add to that high-tech engines with up to 1,111 horsepower and the ability to go 0 to 60 miles in 2.5 seconds, and you have a product that takes not only electric cars but automotive engineering in general to a new level.

Models and Customer Service

Lucid Motors offers five Lucid Air models, namely:

Air Pure
Air Touring
Air Grand Touring
Air Dream Edition RangeAir Dream Edition Performance

The manufacturer’s website allows you to select the desired model, configure it according to your wishes, and reserve the car of your dreams.

Lucid Motors’ customer service deserves special attention. At every stage of customer interaction, the company provides personalized service in any convenient way – online (website, mobile app, e-mail) or in person at Lucid Studio, where you can learn all about Lucid Air and even try the advanced virtual reality experience to enjoy all the delights of driving one of the most innovative and comfortable luxury vehicles of today.

By Miles Wins World Future Awards for Innovation in Neo Insurance

Posted on July 8, 2022July 2, 2024 by q_admin

By Miles, founded in 2016, is a pay-per-mile insurance provider based in the United Kingdom. With a mission to make driving fairer for low mileage drivers, the company provides a tracker that plugs into the car to log miles driven, or, alternatively, uses built-in telematics on newer vehicles to track distance. The company offers services such as vehicle tracking, troubleshooting, accident detection, and a 24-hour claims line. In recognition of By Miles’ innovation and product benefits, changing the landscape of the future, the World Future Awards has selected them as the winner in the category of Financial Service, for Neo Insurance.

As of January 2021, By Miles served more than 25,000 customers. The company entered Italy in March 2022, in line with its broader plans to expand its footprint further in Europe by 2023.

New insurance models are disrupting this centuries-old industry, focussing on personalization and convenience, and providing coverage for the connected consumer. In January 2021, By Miles announced the commercialization of its internally developed usage-based insurance (UBI) platform “By Bits.” The new platform would be offered through a software-as-a-service (SaaS) model.

Neo Insurance, currently in its early product stage, refers to a turnkey solutions, fully digitized insurance product and service provided entirely through digital channels. These new insurance models, which use new technologies, offer a fairer kind of car insurance for lower mileage drivers. The new models allow them to focus heavily on customer experience by providing personalized products that are tailor-made to reflect individual circumstances better, allow for instant coverage, and let you process claims much faster. The ultimate goal is to move away from traditional insurance, where ‘blanket rules’ have dominated the industry since inception.

A great demand for more personalized policies has emerged amongst consumers, as well as cost saving for insurers, which has led to a strong demand for neo insurance products and supporting infrastructure solutions. Traditional insurers have been unable to provide adequate coverage for non-conventional industries, such as ridesharing, and this has paved the way for new opportunities for neo insurers.

An incredibly fast-growing industry, the market size for the US neo-insurance market is projected to reach USD 53.2-79.9 billion by 2025.

Coco Receives Recognition in the Last Mile Delivery Automation Sector

Posted on July 6, 2022July 2, 2024 by q_admin

Over the past few years, the food delivery industry has become an impressive testing ground for innovative technological solutions in logistics, robotics, workflow design and more. Coco, a leading robotic delivery service, is a shining representative of the industry, offering an elegant solution that combines robotics and human capabilities to deliver orders more quickly and safely than car-based delivery. This year, Coco’s efforts were recognized by the World Future Awards research team, who named the company the winner in the Last-Mile Delivery Automation category.

Coco applies advanced technology and a human-centered approach to improve the quality of life for communities by deploying affordable, reliable and sustainable last-mile delivery vehicles. Its remote-controlled delivery robot, the Coco 1, was developed in partnership with micromobility manufacturer Segway and can hold up to four bags of groceries. The vehicle also has a three-mile range, several cameras and GPS sensors, and a double-insulated cargo to preserve food safety and quality.

Unlike other competitors in the market, Coco does not rely on autonomous technology to operate its robots. Instead, the company’s fleet is driven remotely by human pilots via teleoperation technology and a 360-degree external camera view of real-time surroundings. This approach gives Coco complete control over its service quality and allows it to deploy at scale in urban environments while collecting invaluable real-world delivery data. Its friendly-looking robots are also crowd-pleasers that attract plenty of pedestrian attention as they safely deliver food with a 97% on-time rate. Coco currently operates in Los Angeles, Austin, and Houston, with plans for expansion into other major U.S. cities on the horizon.
