Honda and Visa Demonstrate In-vehicle Payments with Gilbarco and IPS Group at 2017 CES

January 6, 2017

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 5, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Honda announced today that it will conduct the first proof-of-concept demonstration of in-vehicle payments with infrastructure parking and fueling partners at 2017 CES in Las Vegas as part of its ongoing partnership with Visa Inc. The demonstrations will be done with fuel pumps from Gilbarco Veeder-Root and smart parking meters from IPS Group, Inc. Show attendees can experience the demonstrations at the Honda booth (LVCC, North Hall – 7312) during CES, January 5-8, 2017.

In-vehicle payment at the pump is a secure and convenient experience. Once the car is parked next to a pump, drivers are notified that they can pay from their car. The driver selects the amount of gas they would like to fill up and the cost to fill it up is automatically calculated by the app.

Developed by the Honda Developer Studio, the fuel and parking proof-of-concepts offer a quick and seamless in-vehicle payment solution, delivered through smartphone integrations. Honda and Visa first joined forces last year and they are now joined by Gilbarco Veeder-Root and IPS Group, Inc. in collaborating in the effort to transform the way consumers make in-vehicle payments for every day services such as gasoline and public parking.

“Payments have evolved from physical plastic cards to a digital, mobile wallet and Honda sees this as an opportunity to bring this technology into the car to pay for services from the comfort of one’s own car,” said John Moon, Developer Relations Lead at Honda Developer Studio. “Together with Visa’s payment technology expertise and new partners like Gilbarco Veeder-Root and IPS Group, Inc. who are experts in their fields we can create a whole new in-vehicle experience for our customers focused on simplicity and convenience.”

Drivers are notified that they can pay for fuel or parking when they are near a smart parking meter or fuel pump. Depending on the services, the purchase amount is displayed in the dashboard and drivers confirm payment with the touch of a button. Honda is currently in discussion with a number of other companies that will continue to help ease the various innovative payment processes of other car-based transactions.

“Turning the car into a platform for payments offers a nearly endless array of ways for automakers, drivers, merchants and other infrastructure companies to completely transform tasks that are tied to cars in some shape or form,” said Avin Arumugam, senior vice president, Internet of things (IoT), Visa Inc. “Working with Honda, we both see the huge opportunity this presents for our respective industries, and how we can collectively simplify many daily tasks from the car.”

IPS Group, Inc. Parking Meter Demo
IPS Group, Inc. (ipsgroup.com) is an innovative Smart Parking leader best known as the developer of the patented IPS credit card-enabled, solar-powered smart parking meters seen on public streets in hundreds of cities throughout North America and Europe. Honda, Visa and IPS Group, Inc. have partnered to make locating and paying for parking fast and easy, so that drivers will never have to scramble for change or even exit the vehicle to pay for parking at a meter.

The process begins when the driver is notified of available smart parking. The driver then simply selects the time increment needed and pays for parking, and the meter displays the time purchased. Drivers will also be able to add additional time to the meter from the convenience of their mobile phone.

“We are excited to partner with prominent innovative technology leaders like Honda and Visa in order to pave the way for a Smart Cities solutions,” said Dave King, President and CEO of IPS Group, Inc.

Gilbarco Veeder-Root Demo
Gilbarco-Veeder-Root has also joined the partnership to enable drivers to pay for fuel from their vehicle, making the experience more secure and convenient while also creating opportunities for retailers to reach consumers in new ways to drive enhanced consumer loyalty and sales.

Once the car is parked next to a pump, drivers are notified that they can pay from their car. The driver selects the amount of gas they would like to fill up and the cost to fill it up is automatically calculated by the app. Focusing on security and convenience, this refueling concept is easy-to-use.

The goal of Honda’s partnership with the Visa, Gilbarco Veeder-Root and IPS Group, Inc. is to create an innovative in-vehicle experience focusing on making daily life more efficient and comfortable for customers. CES attendees are invited to experience the Honda and Visa demonstration during the show, January 5-8, 2017, at the Honda booth #7312.

Honda Demonstrates Collaborative Technology at CES 2017

January 6, 2017

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 5, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Continuing its pursuit of open innovation and collaboration, Honda is showcasing projects with startup companies LEIA and VocalZoom at CES 2017. In collaboration with the Honda Xcelerator, these two innovators’ technologies aim to revolutionize the in-cabin experience.

Together, Honda Xcelerator and LEIA have developed a new 3D driver display demonstration that leverages nanotechnology to provide seamless transitions between different viewing angles for warnings and driver-assistive systems. VocalZoom has been working with Honda Xcelerator to apply its optical microphone technology to improve voice interaction inside the vehicle.

“We’re flexible, innovator friendly, and look for unique opportunities to work closely with partners to co-create and showcase advanced technology,” said Dennis Clark, strategic alliance lead at Honda Xcelerator. “Our focus at CES is to showcase our work with two of our partners–LEIA and VocalZoom–to apply their unique technologies to enhance the in-car experience.”

Honda Xcelerator

Honda Xcelerator is an open innovation program designed to facilitate collaboration between early stage technology startups and global Honda. Honda created the program to engage innovators in an open and supportive environment. The program offers funding for rapid prototyping, a collaborative workspace and pairing with Honda mentors.

3D Driver Display

LEIA is a technology spin-off of HP Labs and a provider of the leading holographic display solution for mobile. The LEIA 3D display provides a comfortable, natural form of 3D that is easier to look at, which is important for the in-car experience. It also gives designers and developers a new tool for building a more appealing user experience.

Although 3D can be distracting if it isn’t designed correctly, LEIA’s nanotech approach presents depth in a way that feels natural. As a result, when the driver moves his or her head while looking at the screen, the content changes aspect continuously and allows for multi-view 3D imagery.

“LEIA uses nanotechnology to control the emission of light from its displays,” said David Fattal, LEIA Inc.’s Founder and CEO. “This is a brand new technique that produces multi-view 3D – holographic – content with an unprecedented level of quality and visual comfort for several viewers at a time. Moreover, the displays are entirely switchable to standard 2D viewing mode so there is virtually no downside in using them.”

Honda sees a number of potential applications for this technology, from navigation to traffic information, that can be leveraged to provide a more intuitive, convenient and safe in-cabin experience for customers.

Optical Sensor Technology

VocalZoom is a leading supplier of Human-to-Machine Communication (HMC) optical sensors that enable a more natural, personalized and secure voice-control experience and has been working with Honda Xcelerator to apply its technology to the in-car experience.

VocalZoom’s optical sensor “reads” facial skin vibrations during speech, enabling it to isolate a driver’s voice from all of the other background sounds in the car. The result is clean, isolated driver commands that are significantly easier for automotive voice-recognition systems to understand and obey than was previously possible with traditional voice-control solutions. In a proof-of-concept demo at Honda’s CES display, attendees can experience the VocalZoom technology.

“We are very excited to be at CES with Honda demonstrating a disruptive new voice-control and voice-authentication experience in the connected car,” said Rammy Bahalul, vice president of sales and business development for VocalZoom. “VocalZoom’s optical sensor is re-defining Human-to-Machine Communication by delivering seamless, near-perfect performance even with background noise from open windows, engine noise, music playing, passenger conversations and other interference.”

Honda at CES

Honda’s display theme at CES 2017 is a Cooperative Mobility Ecosystem, connecting the power of artificial intelligence, robotics, and big data to transform the mobility experience. Under this umbrella the company is showcasing a number of prototype technologies developed from its R&D division as well as collaborations with startups, partners and global tech companies.

Paid Sick Leave a Necessity for Workers Statewide, Says Attorney

January 5, 2017

NEW YORK, Jan. 5, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Last year, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo signed into law the strongest paid family leave policy in the nation. But according to advocates for workplace safety, even that law doesn’t go far enough.

According to a study published by the Institute for Women’s Policy Research, nearly 50 million workers nationwide lack paid sick leave. For many of those workers, that means they’re going to work while sick, with all of the risks that entails.

Employees who go to work with communicable diseases risk spreading those diseases to colleagues and customers. But that’s not the only risk, according to worker’s compensation attorney Edgar N. Romano, a senior partner at the New York law firm Pasternack Tilker Ziegler Walsh Stanton & Romano, LLP.

“Our firm has handled hundreds of claims involving people who were injured on the job because they – or a colleague – went to work while they were already ill or injured,” said Romano. “Sick workers may be fatigued or disoriented, and that increases the risk of an accident. They should have the opportunity to seek medical care or stay home and rest, but too many have to go to work because they can’t afford to take an unpaid day off.”

The new state law, which Governor Cuomo signed on April 4, will provide mandatory paid leave for employees who need to care for infants or seriously ill family members, beginning in 2018. But it does not mandate paid leave for employees who are themselves sick.

“What we’ve seen is that the most vulnerable workers are also the most likely to lack paid sick leave,” Romano continued. “Too many single parents, minorities and minimum-wage workers have to choose between their health and their income, and they end up putting themselves at risk. No one should have to make that choice.”

In New York City, however, all employers with five or more employees are required to provide paid sick leave, thanks to the city’s Paid Sick Leave Law that went into effect in April 2014.

“Since the Paid Sick Leave Law went into effect, we’ve seen real benefits here in New York City, both from a public health and workplace safety perspective,” said Romano. “We’ll continue to fight to make sure that workers who are at their most vulnerable can get the help they need.”
