vehicle safety

While it is widely known that a broad rollout of autonomous vehicles is still years away, motorists and pedestrians in California and Nevada will be experiencing a limited introduction to privately owned fully-autonomous cars in the next few years.  How will they know when the car is driving itself?  We answer that question during this podcast!

In this episode of the “because, bikers matter!” ® Podcast with founder & Host David "Vegas" Shuman interviews Alanna Bencivenga, the co-founder of Hi-Viz Flag Company, at the South Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center. Alanna shares the origins of the company, which started in Oceanside with a dream of expanding into the off-road industry. Recognizing a gap in the market for flags, especially in the off-road industry, they wanted to make a statement and add more fun and personality to the required flag on vehicles in California. The flags offered by Hi-Viz Flag Company are made of 100D open weave polyester, which has been tested extensively for durability. They have found that these flags last the longest and maintain vibrant colors even after washing and exposure to the sun. The flags are also double-stitched for added durability. Alanna mentions that Hi-Viz Flag Company offers single-sided flags, as they prefer to rock the single-sided look. However, they also sell sets for those who prefer to have matching flags on both sides of their vehicles. The podcast episode also includes a mention of Motorcycle Safety Lawyers®, a sponsor of the show, and their expertise in handling personal injury cases related to motorcycle accidents. Alanna mentions that while California does not have specific flag requirements, other states like Oklahoma require either an orange flag or an American flag above the vehicle. Hi-Viz Flag Company can be found on various platforms, including Instagram, Etsy, eBay, and their website, hivizflagco.com. The episode concludes with David "Vegas" Shuman signing off and mentioning a 1948 Harley Hummer on display at the convention center. He also invites listeners to reach out if they are in the Las Vegas area.

So much in-depth knowledge about AVs from Petch Jirapinyo, Chief Commercial Officer at Nuro - a leader in the autonomous vehicle space that is revolutionizing how we transport goods. Petch confesses he’s a sci-fi fan and we discuss what the future holds in store for us with technologies like autonomous vehicles. He helps me understand the difference between L2,3,4,5 vehicles, what sustainability and safety evaluation entail, and I am blown away by the level of simulation involved in ensuring this AV technology is safer than human drivers could be. I get really excited about the applications of AVs and we discuss what partnership between communities/the general public and these vehicle manufacturers is and will continue to need to be like as we roll into the future.

Host Tom Appel and co-hosts Jill Ciminillo and Damon Bell start off the show by discussing Damon's recent drive of the new Hyundai Tucson Hybrid in the Lake Tahoe area, and then we share our "Dead Pool" picks--vehicles we think are soon to be discontinued. Brian Latouf, Chief Safety Officer at Hyundai Motor North America, joins us to talk about current automotive safety topics and fill us in on Hyundai's Rear Occupant Alert--a system that helps prevent pediatric heat stroke by alerting drivers of children or other occupants in the vehicle's back seat.
