COO & Co-Founder of AWOS Technologies | developing smart tech for extreme weather resilience
🚨BIG WIN for #VehicleSubmersion Awareness! The topic was featured today on Good Morning America, ABC News Live & GMA3, and #AWOS was spotlighted as the future solution to this problem! Massive thanks to Doug Vollmayer Matt Gutman Gordon Giesbrecht Eva Pilgrim DeMarco Morgan and the entire GMA team for shining a light on #vehiclesubmersion, a global issue that senselessly claims thousands of lives, including helpless children. In the US alone, around 500 people lose their lives annually and the numbers will grow with extreme weather events like flood and flash floods. These deaths are preventable, with individuals getting trapped and drowning in their vehicles due to the lack of effective escape solutions offered by cars. A car can rapidly become a #glasscoffin in water unless windows are opened within #1minute. #Submersion demands swift action as children and other passengers may depend on you. That's why technology like #AWOS removes any guesswork by detecting submersion, promptly #lowering #windows, and expediting #emergencyresponse to safety assist passengers. Until cars are equipped with such tech, always remember #SWOC: ✅ Seatbelts Off ✅ Windows Open ✅ Out Immediately ✅ Children First DO NOT: ❌ Call for help until you're out of the vehicle. ❌ Manual tools do not break laminated windows. ❌ Don’t open doors; it will lead to water rushing in faster. ❌ Don’t wait for the compartment to fill or equalize. ❌ Don’t kick out the windshield 🤝 Support, Share to Raise Awareness, Save Lives 🤝 #SavingLivesTogether #visionzero #operationALIVE #drowningprevention #AutomotiveSafetyCouncil Automotive Safety Council #forsafercars #connectedcars #VehicleSafety #publicsafety #emergencyservices #RoadMedic #OVIN Communitech Invest WindsorEssex LiDAR Saving Lives Public-Safety Coalition Automotive Parts Manufacturers' Association (APMA) #projectarrow #COVESA #Lidarsavinglives Link to video: https://lnkd.in/ernwhX2x
Sabrina Percher An important use case from #FleetCyber perspective. Can a Connected Vehicle be taken over through hacking and submerged? Thus, Vehicle Submersion can even happen due to malicious reasons which means that AWOS Technologies solutions are definitely needed to save lives in more ways than one.
AWOS Technologies is needed in the market and I know it’s a long road, but I hope this Good Morning America coverage helps bring to the light the devastation that can be avoided.
This video is worthy a credit due to failure of analyzing risks by Road architectures .
Great to see our friends at AWOS highlighted on a national network program!
