Next Gen A.I. from Sfara

This breakthrough in suppressing false positives opens entirely new opportunities for First Notice of Loss (FNOL) and white glove customer service. The introduction of ESP further demonstrates Sfara’s culture of continual innovation in on-device smartphone crash detection.

HOBOKEN, N.J. (PRWEB)
December 17, 2019

Sfara announced today the next generation of their patented on-device smartphone crash detection, thereby furthering their industry leadership and the accuracy of their solution.

For this next generation, Sfara developed a revolutionary, multi-layered AI process they’ve name ESP for Extended Sensor Processing. ESP performs a post-crash data analysis specifically designed to suppress false positive crash events.

“False positives are the bane of the telematics industry, regardless of hardware implementation technique,” said Rocco Tricarico, CMO of Sfara. “False positives are when no accident occurred, but the solution detects one anyway. False positives destroy consumer trust, introduce unnecessary cost, create legal exposure, and can even be dangerous to the end user.”

Sfara successfully started detecting crashes in 2013, at speeds well below the point where airbag sensors deploy. However, some challenges remained. “The problem with detecting crashes in the lower speed bands is that the forces at work are weak and occur in a noisy sensor environment,” said Erik Goldman, CEO of Sfara.

Sfara has addressed this industry problem by developing a second layer to its AI that is specifically trained to eliminate false positives. This revolutionary second-layer AI starts performing its work milliseconds after a crash has been detected by the first layer and is designed to suppress false positives across all speed bands.

Sfara has carefully and purposefully built an industry leading crash detection model, built on the back of collecting thousands of data samples from live crash events and millions of labeled data sets from drivers, fusing predictive deterministic physics with state-of-the-art AI.

“We’ve continually improved our crash capability through five years of R&D, including rigorous field and lab tests conducted in collaboration with prestigious universities. Our performance results have also been confirmed by leaders in the auto industry,” said Sascha Simon, Founder and Chief Scientist. “The introduction of ESP is an evolutionary moment for the telematics industry, and a small taste of things to come from Sfara.”

With Sfara’s patented technology, industry participants, including auto makers, insurers, fleet operators and families will receive industry-leading crash detection with higher accuracy at speeds never before possible.

This breakthrough also opens entirely new opportunities for First Notice of Loss (FNOL) and white glove customer service. The introduction of ESP further demonstrates Sfara’s culture of continual innovation in on-device smartphone crash detection.

The Personal Agility Institute Commences Operation, Leading Coaches Endorse the Personal Agility System

December 18, 2019 imreal Leave a comment

Lyssa Adkins, Author of Coaching Agile Teams and Co-Founder of the Agile Coaching Institute

The Personal Agility System has taken it to a new level. The coaching questions led me to really look at how I spend my time and whether I am honoring what really matters to me.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (PRWEB)
December 17, 2019

The Personal Agility Institute has reimagined “agility” to help people get more out of life. Agile frameworks like Scrum and Kanban have long been applied in business to improve effectiveness and productivity in software development. The Personal Agility System enables people to take control of their lives, say no when it counts, achieve important goals, and be the person they want to be.

Today the Personal Agility Institute (PAI) announces the expansion of its coaching program to include 8 leading coaches and trainers from around the world to share and spread this simple approach to improving people’s lives.

About the Agile Movement

The Agile movement was founded in 2001 by 17 leading software developers who were uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others to do the same. The Agile Manifesto they wrote became a movement for rethinking the values, principles and practices around everything from developing software, teaching children in schools, launching new products and even leading organizations.

Today, Agile frameworks like Scrum and Kanban are widely applied in business to improve effectiveness and productivity in software development and applications beyond IT. Hardly any major companies are not involved in an Agile transformation at some level.

About the Personal Agility System

The Personal Agility System is a simple coaching framework to help people figure out what really matters and use their time accordingly. Unlike other frameworks, it is not a process to follow but a collection of questions to ask yourself. These questions help you connect what you do with who you want to be or what you want to accomplish. The same framework used with others enables you to build alignment around a common purpose or goal.

“I have been an Agilist for 14 years and have been applying Agile in my personal life for a long time. The Personal Agility System has taken it to a new level. The coaching questions led me to really look at how I spend my time and whether I am honoring what really matters to me,” says Lyssa Adkins, Author of Coaching Agile Teams and co-founder of the Agile Coaching Institute.

A practitioner of the Personal Agility System knows what really matters, can focus their use of time accordingly, and can help people around them align around what’s important. The PAI has recognized Practitioners (PARPs) from throughout the USA as well as Switzerland, Germany, Poland, Italy, India, Canada, and Sri Lanka who have demonstrated that they are using Personal Agility to guide their lives effectively.

“Personal Agility is an essential skill in any domain, be it in business, education, the community or at home. It’s not until people start to experience personal transformation in their own lives that they’ll really start to get what this is.” – John Badgley, Agility Systems Coach.

About the PAI Recognition Program

Personal Agility Recognized Ambassadors (PARA) are senior coaches and trainers who are already recognized experts in their field and have embraced the Personal Agility System for their own work. PARAs will be sharing and building the knowledge to serve humanity beyond the traditional Agile community.

Announcement of the Coaching Program

The Personal Agility Institute is excited to announce our team of industry accredited coaches and trainers.

How To Avoid Car Insurance Scams With The Help Of Online Car Insurance Quotes

“Scams are still a major problem for the auto insurance market and scammers develop all sorts of ingenious ways of tricking people. Using online quotes from legit companies and brokerage websites will help you avoid being ripped off by crooks” said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)
December 17, 2019

Compare-autoinsurance.org has released a new blog post that explains how to use car insurance online quotes and avoid scams.

For more info and free car insurance quotes, visit https://compare-autoinsurance.org/can-online-quotes-help-you-prevent-car-insurance-scams/

Unfortunately, online scams are still a common thing nowadays. Scammers try to fool the victim into convincing them to send money or to provide sensitive info, like credit card numbers and PIN. And car insurance scammers are really cruel and will even try to profit on someone’s sufferance, just to grab some money. Policyholders are recommended to be vigilant, avoid providing info to unsolicited agents and call the agency instead of talking to strangers.

Car insurance quotes will also help drivers prevent all sorts of insurance scams, by providing accurate data. Of course, the user must request quotes from a legit source.

Online auto insurance quotes help drivers understand the average cost for a person with a similar driving history and car model. In this way, drivers become aware of realistic values, closer to the estimates, and avoid companies that tell them they deserve insanely low-cost policies.

Online car insurance quotes offer realistic choices to customers. They are based on the info provided by the drivers. They are not random adds which suddenly pop on screen. A quote is not a “Click here!” or “Insanely Low Prices” message. Instead, they represent values that respect a person’s choices. If the cost of the advertised insurance policy is 90 percent below average, there’s a good chance the policy is either fake or provides very little coverage. Carefully read the terms of the contract.

It is important to get multiple quotes. This is important not only for avoiding scams but also for comparing prices. Multiple accurate quotes, for the same product, should have a similar value. This makes it easier for the customer to pick realistic offers. Keep in mind that the final price will be negotiated with insurance representatives and will differ. But seeing that the quote respects the average value will reassure the driver that he or she made a good choice,

Car Insurance Guide – What Is Collision Coverage And What Events Are Covered?

“Drivers can save money on difficult situations if they purchase collision coverage”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)
December 17, 2019

Cheapquotesautoinsurance.com has released a new blog post that explains the main benefits of using collision car insurance.

For more info and free car insurance quotes, visit http://cheapquotesautoinsurance.com/when-to-use-collision-insurance-coverage/

Carrying collision coverage is usually optional unless the policyholder still finances the car and the lienholder requires full coverage. Having this policy is recommended in the following situations:

Collision coverage will reimburse the policyholder. Unlike liability coverage, which is designed to reimburse the victims, collision coverage will reimburse the policyholder for the damage caused to his car. Without this coverage, an at-fault driver will have to pay from his own finances to repair his car.

Collision coverage will pay even if the other driver caused the accident. Collision insurance is a no-fault policy, meaning that the reimbursement money will be paid, no matter who caused the accident. When the other driver is at fault, the insurance company will pay for repairs, then will pursue the other driver’s insurer and ask for the money. This is extremely beneficial when a driver is not willing to cooperate and the whole affair can be really lengthy.

Collision insurance covers damaging your own car. It is quite uncommon to flip your own car and damage it. But it may happen and only collision coverage will provide financial support. When the policyholder has 2 or more cars and collides into one of his own vehicles, he will also be reimbursed by this policy.
