Auto Business Outlook: Specials Magazine
In-vehicle cameras, in combination with telematics, are emerging as the holy grail for the modern commercial fleet industry. As a crucial tool to prevent road accidents, ensure fleet safety, and improve driver and passenger experience productivity, resource, and performance enhancement tool, video telematics provides an unprecedented level of visibility and analytics to fleet operators, ushering in a whole new paradigm marked by innovation and efficiency. Systems Technologies is a chief enabler of this new, feature-rich paradigm of video telematics. A leading provider of in-vehicle cameras, recorders, and fleet management software, Systems Technologies has redefined the way vehicle risk is analyzed and mitigated with its best-in-class video and data solutions for an array of vehicles, including vans, tow trucks, school buses and utility vehicles. The company collaborates with fleets, insurers, and telematics service providers to identify, record, and report crucial driving data in real time. Systems Technologies’ safety devices were born out of the need to extend the application of dashcams into the commercial fleet industry. It was not until the 1960s that dash cams were used extensively in US police cars to combat traffic violations. Since then, dash cams have become more widespread as they are inexpensive and compact.
Automotive Safety
Auto dealerships contain highly sensitive information that needs protection from malicious entities. From social security information to credit scores, all financial data is at risk in a data breach. This has made it necessary for the automotive industry to put comprehensive cybersecurity measures in place to protect sensitive customer data from unauthorized access, damage, and manipulation. Computer Technology Management Services (CTMS) provides its industry-recognized cybersecurity framework to help modern auto dealerships safeguard crucial business and customer data while minimizing cyber risks. What differentiates CTMS in this landscape is its deep knowledge of the auto dealership and cybersecurity space, which it combines to offer best-in-class managed security services. “We provide employee awareness packages, vulnerability scans, and network penetration testing to ensure technology solutions at auto dealerships are always protected,” says Enrique Torres-Baiz, President of CTMS.

EDITORIAL
Building an Era of ‘Safer’ Driving Experience
From automated driving technologies to electric vehicles, companies are navigating safety and reliability challenges as vehicles increase in complexity. Solution providers are offering comprehensive automotive toolsets—powered by data modeling, analytics, and simulation—whose depth and breadth mirror the complexity of vehicle design today. In the wake of these developments, the global automotive safety systems market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6 percent between 2022 to 2027. Among the technologies that are enhancing driver safety, augmented reality (AR) is the most notable. It proactively alerts the driver in case of emergencies by superimposing images on the head-up display (HUD) and reduces accidents due to human error. Biometric seats are another notable technology, monitoring drivers’ faces and palms to measure anxiety levels and advise them when to take a break to avoid fatigue on the road. To put the spotlight on such key developments, Auto Business Outlook illustrates how automobile companies are leveraging the latest technologies to augment drivers’ safety operations. This edition also features a thought leadership article from Mark Sutton, VP Engineering APAC at Adient, Stefan Gudmundsson, Chief Innovation Officer, Karma Automotive LLC, and Rick Winick, Vice President and General Manager at Honeywell, who sheds light on the evolution of automotive seating and different potential refrigerants that can keep passengers and batteries cool. In this edition of Auto Business Outlook magazine, we also bring to you the story of some of the top automotive safety and security solution providers. In the list, System Technologies stands out for providing in-vehicle cameras, recorders, and fleet management software to reduce accident frequency, loss ratios, driving offense allegations, whiplash/personal injury claims, and insurance premiums. We also bring to you the story of CTMS for providing its industry-recognized cybersecurity framework to help modern auto dealerships safeguard crucial businesses and customer data. Through the following pages, we aim to shine a light on the innovative trends and latest developments in the automotive safety and securitysector. We would like to know your thoughts.
