Mitsubishi Electric's FLEXConnect integrates with HAAS Alert's Safety Cloud
Mitsubishi Electric Automotive America (MEAA) has announced a strategic partnership with HAAS Alert, integrating its in-cabin monitoring system, FLEXConnect, with the Safety Cloud digital alerting platform. This collaboration aims to revolutionise the in-vehicle experience by enhancing driver safety with real-time data and alerts. The integration was unveiled at the 2025 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), where MEAA showcased FLEXConnect's capabilities in leveraging vehicle data for safety and personalisation. By integrating with Safety Cloud, FLEXConnect will offer an additional layer of protection for drivers using MEAA's in-vehicle monitoring systems. MEAA Advanced Development director Mohammad Horani said: 'Safety is at the core of FLEXConnect. That makes Safety Cloud digital alerting a natural fit to the FLEXConnect experience.' Safety Cloud is known for delivering real-time safety notifications from emergency vehicles, work zones, tow trucks, and other road hazards to millions of drivers daily. Compatible with various Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, and Volkswagen vehicles, as well as Apple Maps and Waze, the technology improves roadway safety by alerting drivers to nearby hazards. The collaboration between Safety Cloud and FLEXConnect will enable drivers to receive in-vehicle alerts about nearby roadway hazards. This joint solution goes beyond digital alerting; in an emergency, FLEXConnect will communicate with other drivers through Safety Cloud, indicating a disabled vehicle ahead. HAAS Alert Business Development – Connected Vehicles vice president Hussein Zaarour added: 'HAAS Alert is thrilled to enter into this partnership with Mitsubishi Electric. Mitsubishi Electric's focus on automotive innovation and safety is in perfect lockstep with HAAS Alert's mission to make vehicles and roads safer and smarter.'

United Airlines successfully installed Starlink on its first aircraft, and the promised speeds are up to 50 times faster
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. United Airlines has installed Starlink on its first regional aircraft The install time is just four days per aircraft versus 10+ days for other Wi-Fi systems The airline expects to install Starlink on over 40 aircraft a month starting in May Back in January, right ahead of the 2025 Consumer Electronics Show, United Airlines announced that it was speeding up its rollout and installation of Starlink across its fleet. It was good news as Grant Milstead, VP of Digital Technology for the airline, told us that it was 'kind of enabling the living room in the sky experience.' How? Well, once Starlink is installed on United Airline's aircraft, the result is free, fast Wi-Fi while on the ground and in the air as long as you are a member of MileagePlus, which is free to join. United Airlines sped up its planned rollout by confirming that the first commercial flight was expected on an Embraer E175 in the spring and that its entire regional fleet would be covered by the end of the year. Its first mainline aircraft would also have Starlink installed by the end of the year. Now United Airlines has successfully installed Starlink on its first regional aircraft, learned some new lessons, and confirmed some theories about what this process would look like. And for anyone who flies United Airlines, it's great news as you're one step closer to getting this stronger, more stable connection in the sky. The most significant learning is that installing the Starlink antenna, the wiring, and the wireless access points inside the cabin of the aircraft is a lot less time-consuming than a typical antenna for traditional airline Wi-Fi. United says that it takes about eight hours to install the Starlink equipment, which is about 10 times faster than the current in-flight Wi-Fi equipment (though that eight-hour window doesn't include de-installation or the testing equipment). And here's the best part for me as someone who tends to fly United Airlines, and for any others who do – you can expect Wi-Fi speeds up to 250Mbps on these regional aircraft, which is 50 times faster than current internet speeds. That means, when connected, you won't have to worry about missing a text – even one with images – being able to browse the web, stream a show, or be productive and accomplish some work while cruising in the sky. I, for one, can't wait to put that to the test. Additionally, the Starlink antenna and corresponding equipment weigh 85 pounds and are electronically steered, which means no moving parts inside. That makes it easier to move, and less likely to need maintenance. It's also a lot lighter (other antennas weigh upwards of 300 pounds) and United Airlines says it 'means the aircraft requires less fuel to operate than with other inflight providers.' The faster installation process also means the aircraft will be out of service for a shorter time. Currently, non-Starlink Wi-Fi installations for United take over 10 days, meaning the plane will not be flying for that period. United Airlines expects the Starlink installation and testing to take just four days, and that includes removing the old equipment. Remember, it's outside on the aircraft's hull and inside under panels, where access points are located. Here are the steps for the installation process as it stands for United Airlines regional aircraft: Uninstall the existing Wi-Fi system. Install the Starlink system, which consists of the main antenna, an internal reinforcement structure, wireless access points for the cabin, and a power supply. The install team tests the whole system before and after closing the aircraft's interior. It's clear that United Airlines is still operating on this sped-up schedule and is eager to get Starlink-powered internet to more passengers, starting with regional aircraft. It's not a small set of flyers either – while United Airlines' entire fleet is over 1,000 aircraft, the regional fleet is over 300 airplanes. With one of those airplanes already done, United Airlines expects to install Starlink on over 40 aircraft a month starting in May before wrapping at the end of 2025. The goal is to cover all regional aircraft and then at least one mainline airplane. United Airlines and Apple AirTags are ready to help reunite you with your lost bags Delta Air Lines just announced its vision for the future of flying – here are my 3 favorite features coming to its planes and app No, iOS 18.3 doesn't install Starlink on your iPhone – here's what the latest update does, and why you should download it

Rokid's AI-infused AR glasses wow China with script projection, smart ring control
Chinese augmented-reality (AR) device maker Rokid made waves on social media and in the stock market after its founder showed how the start-up's artificial intelligence (AI) glasses could be used in a real-world setting. Advertisement While speaking last week at a government event in Rokid's hometown Hangzhou, capital of Zhejiang province, founder Misa Zhu Mingming had his speech notes projected directly onto a pair of AR glasses he was wearing, instead of reading from a printed script or the prompter. He was able to flip through the virtual pages using a smart ring on his finger, according to a video shared by the company. Rokid Glasses have become the latest example of AI being used to upgrade products made in China. Producers of smart glasses, along with manufacturers from industries such as robotics and electric vehicles , have found new momentum after adopting advanced open-source AI models from start-up DeepSeek Rokid's presentation on February 18 sparked lively discussions online. Last weekend, the hashtag #ScriptOnGlassesTurnPagesWithRing became the tenth top-trending topic on Chinese microblogging site Sina. The Rokid Glasses are seen during at the 2025 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas last month. Photo: EPA-EFE The AI Wearable Index, which tracks 50 publicly-listed Chinese companies related to the sector, surged more than 10 per cent in the past five trading days, according to financial data provider Wind Information. Leading the group is Shanghai-listed Mingyue Optical Lens, which climbed over 10 per cent on Tuesday. Advertisement Rokid Glasses, the company's first AR glasses equipped with large language models (LLMs), are designed to recognise images, interpret words and navigate roads. At 49 grams, they weigh similar to a pair of regular sunglasses and have a battery life of around four hours after being charged for 10 minutes inside a case.
