Honda Reaches One Million Vehicles with Honda Sensing® on U.S. Roads
TORRANCE, California, April 10, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Marking a major milestone in its history of safety leadership and innovation, Honda today announced U.S. sales of vehicles equipped with the Honda Sensing® suite of advanced safety and driver-assistive technologies has reached the one-million mark. Honda also will have standard Honda Sensing across the entire lineup by the 2022 model year. In addition, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), an independent, nonprofit organization dedicated to reducing deaths, injuries and property damage from motor vehicle crashes, together with the Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI), which publishes scientific studies of insurance data, issued a study on the effectiveness of Honda Sensing that determined its application resulted in significant reductions in collision claim severity, claim rates for damage to other vehicles or other property, and claim rates for injuries to people in other vehicles or others on the road.
“Honda dreams of a collision-free mobile society and the Honda Sensing technology has a crucial role to play in advancing us toward that goal,” said Henio Arcangeli, Jr., senior vice president of the American Honda Automobile Division & general manager of the Honda brand. “With the rapidly growing population of Honda vehicles applying these technologies, we hope to significantly reduce collisions involving Honda vehicles within the next three to four years.”
The IIHS study looked at more than 327,000 total insured vehicle years1 of 2016 model-year Accords, Civics and Pilots since this was the first model year Honda Sensing was available as an option on all trims.2 The 2016 model-year vehicles in the population without Honda Sensing served as the control vehicles in the study. When looking at the benefits of Honda Sensing, particularly the utility of the Forward Collision Warning and Collision Mitigation Braking System (with automatic emergency braking or AEB), the study concluded that even if a crash is not avoided, it is likely the striking vehicle at least slowed before the crash due to those systems, and noted the likelihood of injury is reduced when speed is reduced. The top findings of the study were:
- Collision claim severity is down $379 for the Honda Sensing equipped vehicles compared to those without the technology
- Damage to other vehicles or other property claim frequencies dropped nearly 11 percent for the Honda Sensing equipped vehicles compared to those without the technology
- Injuries to people in other vehicles or others on the road claim frequencies declined about 28 percent for the Honda Sensing equipped vehicles compared to those without the technology
“The data are clear. The role of Honda Sensing is reducing crash risk,” said Matt Moore, senior vice president of HLDI. “We commend Honda for rapidly expanding the application of this safety technology throughout its lineup.”
The Honda Sensing application rate has more than doubled from 2016 to 2017 to more than 50,000 vehicles per month in the past year, and now is applied on 69 percent of 2018 model-year vehicles. As a result, Honda plans to meet the voluntary commitment between the U.S. Department of Transportation, IIHS and 20 automakers to make AEB standard on at least 95 percent of all models two years earlier than the agreed upon year of 2022. Furthermore, Honda’s rapid deployment of these technologies and plans for application of Honda Sensing as standard equipment on all 2022 model-year vehicles goes beyond the voluntary commitment of just AEB. Honda’s plans, by contrast, encompass the full suite of Honda Sensing technologies, including:
- Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS™) – can apply brake pressure when an unavoidable collision is determined
- Forward Collision Warning (FCW) – can detect the presence of vehicles in front, activating audio and visual alerts to warn the driver if they are at risk of collision
- Lane Keeping Assist (LKAS) – can help bring the vehicle back to the center of a detected lane when unindicated lane drift is determined
- Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) – can adjust steering and braking if you cross detected lanes without signaling
- Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) – can maintain a set following interval behind detected vehicles as well as maintain a set speed
Honda Sensing is standard equipment today on the 2018 Clarity Plug-in Hybrid, 2018 Clarity Fuel Cell, 2017 Clarity Electric, 2018 Accord, just-launched 2018 Accord Hybrid, and will be standard on the 2019 Insight hybrid sedan, slated for introduction later this year. The technology is available today on the 2018 Honda Fit, Civic Sedan, Coupe and Hatchback, CR-V and Pilot sport-utility vehicles, Odyssey minivan and Ridgeline pickup.

About Honda Safety
Honda has a long history of leadership in the development and application of advanced technologies designed to enhance the safety of all road users, including automobile occupants, motorcycle riders and pedestrians. The company operates two of the world’s most sophisticated crash test facilities, in Ohio and Japan, and is responsible for numerous pioneering efforts in the areas of crashworthiness, airbag technology, collision compatibility and pedestrian safety. Toward Honda’s goal of a zero-collision society, the company is broadly applying Honda Sensing® advanced safety and driver-assistive technologies, now on more than one million vehicles on U.S. roads today. These technologies can significantly reduce the likelihood or severity of a collision and also serve as a bridge to highly automated vehicles of the future. Honda is targeting 2020 for the deployment of vehicles with highly automated highway driving capability and 2025 for the technological achievement of SAE Level 4 automated vehicles for personal use.
About Honda
Honda offers a full line of reliable, fuel-efficient and fun-to-drive vehicles with advanced safety technologies sold through more than 1,000 independent U.S. Honda dealers. The Honda lineup includes the Fit, Civic, Accord and Clarity series passenger cars, along with the HR-V, CR-V and Pilot sport utility vehicles, the Ridgeline pickup and the Odyssey minivan.
1 Exposure is measured in insured vehicle years; an insured vehicle year is one vehicle insured for one year, two vehicles for six months, etc.
2 Honda 2016 model-year vehicles in the study include: Accord Coupe, Accord Sedan, Civic Sedan, Pilot 2WD and Pilot 4WD

Texas homebuyers grow more diverse, earn higher incomes amid continued increases in Texas home prices
AUSTIN, Texas, April 10, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — A new Texas Homebuyers and Sellers Report released today by the Texas Association of Realtors revealed that diversity continues to increase among those buying homes in Texas. The report also showed that Texas homebuyers are earning more and paying more for homes.
Kaki Lybbert, chairman of the Texas Association of Realtors, explained, “We have seen greater ethnic diversity among homebuyers over the last few years, which is an encouraging trend. At the same time, median household income in the state went up. That’s good news for Texans, because our home prices have continued to rise in most areas as well.”
According to the report, the percentage of homebuyers who identified as African-American was 8 percent, up from 5 percent the previous year; 7 percent identified as Asian, up from 4 percent; and those who identified as Hispanic remained consistent with prior years at 14 percent.
Median household income among Texas homebuyers increased from $94,200 to $101,400. Nationally, the median income of homebuyers was $88,800. The median home price paid among Texas homebuyers was $259,500, significantly higher than the Real Estate Center at Texas A&M University’s estimation of $150,000 as a home price for entry-level and first-time homebuyers.
In Texas, single female homebuyers decreased 3 percentage points to 16 percent and single male buyers fell 1 percentage point to 8 percent of all Texas homebuyers. The percentage of married Texas homebuyers increased 2 points to 68 percent.
The median age for homebuyers in Texas increased for the fourth straight year to 47 years old. However, the share of first-time homebuyers increased from 30 percent to 32 percent, while the median age of first-time homebuyers went from 32 years old to 33 years old.
Lybbert concluded, “As we mark the 50th anniversary since President Lyndon Johnson signed the Fair Housing Act into law, it’s good to see diversity increasing among homebuyers in Texas. Our diversity is one of our state’s great strengths. Texas Realtors will be leading the way to make even more progress to ensure that homeownership is attainable for all Texans in all types of real estate transactions and at all price points.”

Cal/OSHA Cites Roofing Contractor for Repeat Fall Hazard Violations
SAN DIEGO, April 5, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Cal/OSHA cited California Premier Roofscapes, Inc. for repeat violations of fall protection safety orders and proposed $134,454 in penalties. The Escondido-based company was investigated and cited on six different occasions over the past four years for putting its workers at risk of fatal falls.
Cal/OSHA opened the most recent inspection in August of 2017 after receiving a report that workers were not wearing proper fall protection while installing tiles on the roof of a three-story Chula Vista home. Inspectors found that California Premier Roofscapes failed to ensure their workers were wearing safety harnesses and other personal fall protection. Employees were not properly trained on fall protection and roof work hazards.
“California Premier Roofscapes has repeatedly put its workers at risk of potentially deadly falls from heights, disregarding basic safety requirements to protect its employees,” said Cal/OSHA Chief Juliann Sum.
Cal/OSHA issued citations to California Premier Roofscapes for four violations including:
- One repeat-serious violation for failing to ensure that workers were wearing fall protection.
- One repeat general violation for failing to effectively implement and maintain a written Injury and Illness Prevention Program.
- Two general violations for not inspecting equipment prior to each use and inadequate training on fall hazards and protection.
The first inspection with California Premier Roofscapes was opened in October 2014 after Cal/OSHA received a complaint that employees were working on an Irvine roof with no fall protection. Cal/OSHA inspected a California Premier Roofscapes’ residential construction site in Azusa the following day after receiving a complaint involving an unsafe portable ladder. The following month, Cal/OSHA investigated an accident involving a worker who suffered serious head and knee injuries after falling 15 feet from a ladder attached to scaffolding at a Carlsbad residential construction site.
In June 2015, Cal/OSHA opened an inspection and cited California Premier Roofscapes for a repeat serious violation after workers with no fall protection were reported on the roof of an Irvine construction site. In March of the following year, Cal/OSHA inspected a report that California Premier Roofscapes’ workers wore harnesses but were not properly tied off to prevent falls from the roof of a Tustin construction site. California Premier Roofscapes was cited for two repeat violations, one serious and one general category.
Falls are the leading cause of death in construction nationwide. In California’s roofing industry, falls have caused nine deaths and 162 serious injuries since 2014.
A serious violation is cited when there is a realistic possibility that death or serious harm could result from the actual hazardous condition. A repeat violation is cited when the employer was previously cited for the same or a very similar violation and the earlier citation became final within the past 5 years.
All employers in California are required to have an effective written injury and illness prevention program, a safety program to identify, assess and control hazards in the workplace. Cal/OSHA has online tools and publications to guide employers on how to establish an effective safety program. Cal/OSHA’s resources on fall protection include safety and health factsheets, residential fall protection training and a construction safety pocket guide.
Cal/OSHA helps protect workers from health and safety hazards on the job in almost every workplace in California. Cal/OSHA’s Consultation Services Branch provides free and voluntary assistance to employers to improve their health and safety programs. Employers should call (800) 963-9424 for assistance from Cal/OSHA Consultation Services.
Employees with work-related questions or complaints may contact DIR’s Call Center in English or Spanish at 844-LABOR-DIR (844-522-6734). The California Workers’ Information line at 866-924-9757 provides recorded information in English and Spanish on a variety of work-related topics. Complaints can also be filed confidentially with Cal/OSHA district offices.
Members of the press may contact Peter Melton or Jeanne-Mairie Duval at (510) 286-1161, and are encouraged to subscribe to get email alerts on DIR’s press releases or other departmental updates.

DIR is housed within the Labor & Workforce Development Agency.

MIAMI, April 9, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — NBCUniversal Telemundo Enterprises today announced the official inauguration of Telemundo Center, its new global headquarters in Miami, FL.

With an investment of more than $250 million, Telemundo Center unlocks the power of Comcast and NBCUniversal’s commitment to Hispanic consumers while advancing the future of media. Telemundo Center is approximately a 500,000-square-foot facility on 21 acres, with the capacity to house 1,500 employees. Producing unparalleled original content, driving one-of-a-kind digital experiences and educating the next generation of media leaders, Telemundo Center becomes the epicenter of Hispanic activity and the leading authority on the fastest-growing demographic in the United States.

“Telemundo Center is the manifestation of our commitment to the Hispanic market and a representation of our core values of innovation, collaboration and transparency,” said Cesar Conde, Chairman, NBCUniversal Telemundo Enterprises and NBCUniversal International Group. “Latinos are a growing cultural, political, and economic force influencing every aspect of our country. Telemundo Center is the only facility that can fuel the preferences and demands of this dynamic audience, while driving unlimited growth and opportunity for our company, our employees and our community for years to come.”
The new state-of-the-art facility enables unmatched capacity to create high quality, original Spanish-language content to satisfy the diverse appetites of today’s U.S. Latinos. Producing over 3,000 hours of original content a year, Telemundo Center supports unprecedented growth with 15 highly adaptive studios, including two digital studios, virtual and augmented-reality sets, and a state-of-the-art news operation that provides unrivaled flexibility to produce the content that is driving the network’s popularity with audiences and advertisers. Through modern workspaces and activity-based work stations, Telemundo Center’s open plan design and cutting-edge technology is specifically designed to spark innovation, generate powerful experiences, and foster the kind of creative energy and cross-business ideation and collaboration essential to the workplace of the future in a world-class media operation.
Built to inspire employee collaboration, mobility and flexibility, the new headquarters will house production of Telemundo’s weekday primetime programming, the entertainment show “Don Francisco te Invita” and the morning show “Un Nuevo Dia,” news programs, including “Noticias Telemundo” and “Al Rojo Vivo,” as well as sports programs such as “Titulares y Mas.” Telemundo Center will also significantly expand the division’s ability to deliver content on every device maximizing its exclusive partnerships with properties such as BuzzFeed, Vox, and Snapchat that have catapulted Telemundo to become one of the top three media brands in social media engagement.
The custom-designed facility was conceived to integrate multiple locations by bringing under one roof all of the division’s offices, broadcast and production operations including the Telemundo Network, Telemundo Deportes, Noticias Telemundo, Telemundo Global Studios, Universo channel, Telemundo’s digital media operations and NBCUniversal International Group’s Latin American offices. The former Telemundo Network’s headquarters had been located in Hialeah, FL from where the network operated for the past 30 years.
The new headquarters is an eco-friendly building, incorporating many design features also used in LEED-certified structures, and is designed to meet state-of-the-art sustainability, safety, and efficiency standards. Telemundo Center is also built to sustain a Category 5 hurricane and fully remain in operation during weather and other environmental emergencies.
Governor Rick Scott said, “Since December 2010, Florida has added nearly 1.5 million private-sector jobs, with more and more companies choosing to grow in our great state every day. NBCUniversal Telemundo Enterprises’ brand new media facility will support Florida’s continued economic growth and add new job opportunities for families in Miami-Dade County.”
Through Telemundo Center, NBCUniversal Telemundo Enterprises is making a visible commitment as a leading economic, cultural, and social contributor to Miami and South Florida. Telemundo Center has already generated 3,400 construction jobs and $475 million in sales for Florida businesses, and over the next 20 years, the facility is expected to contribute at least $360 million in Florida taxes.
The facility will also serve as a hub for thought leadership on and for the Hispanic community, hosting top researchers and speakers on issues of importance to today’s U.S. Latinos. Telemundo Center is also the home of the recently launched Telemundo Academy, a first-ever multimedia educational institution in partnership with high schools and universities to empower and train the next generation of media leaders, providing a rigorous curriculum designed to teach industry-leading skills and the insights necessary to produce innovative, original multi-platform content. The academy’s first partners are internationally renowned singer, actor and record producer Armando Christian Perez’s (Pitbull) SLAM Miami (Sports Leadership and Management) and the Doral Academy.
Telemundo Center’s opening comes ahead of the network’s expansive planned coverage of the 2018 FIFA World Cup™, of which Telemundo holds the exclusive Spanish-language rights for the first time ever. More than 500 hours of World Cup-related programming will be made available across Telemundo Network and its sister cable network Universo. Additionally, more than 1,000 hours of original content will also be available to stream across Telemundo Deportes’ digital platforms. Telemundo and Universo will broadcast all 64 games live, and all the matches will stream live via the Telemundo Deportes’ En Vivo app and TelemundoDeportes.com.
Plans for the new headquarters were announced in February 2016, at a time when Telemundo had just wrapped a record-breaking year in ratings, an upswing momentum which led to the network finishing the 2016-2017 broadcast season, for the first time ever, as the #1 Spanish-language network in weekday 8 p.m.–11 p.m. primetime among the highly-coveted adults 18-49 and adults 18-34, according to Nielsen.
