Autonomous vehicle accident: Who is at fault and how a car accident lawyer can help

by

Autonomous vehicles, or AVs, have completely changed the way we think about transportation.

They are at the cutting edge of technological innovation and has the potential to reduce human error and increase road safety, but accidents involving AVs still happen, which begs the difficult question of who is at fault in a crash involving an AV.

The Complicated Fault System in AV Mishaps

The dynamics of AV accidents involve a multitude of factors, in contrast to traditional auto accidents where fault is usually attributed to one or more human drivers. [Read more…] about Autonomous vehicle accident: Who is at fault and how a car accident lawyer can help

How manufacturing leaders can thrive when entering new markets

by

By Shinichiro Nakamura, president of one to ONE Holdings

Global expansion accounts for more than half of all corporate growth in the past decade. So, it’s no surprise that manufacturers continue to penetrate new markets.

This wider globalization trend is largely driven by the rise of emerging markets, sustainability efforts, and localizing production based on resources.

However, entering new markets is easier said than done, particularly when facing hurdles such as regulations, tariffs, talent shortages, different cultures, and limited technology. [Read more…] about How manufacturing leaders can thrive when entering new markets

How to Effortlessly Manage IT Assets with the Right Tools?

by

Even an average person, let alone an entrepreneur or a specialist, heavily relies on several digital tools. Sure, there’s a tool or two that you use regularly, but for a lot of them, subscriptions may be quite complex.

While some subscriptions are made monthly, others require paying for a quarter or a full year upfront. Even if they don’t require it, they might incentivize you by offering you a significantly better deal.

So, you paid last fall, but did you pay in October or November? If this happened a year ago, chances are that you just don’t know. [Read more…] about How to Effortlessly Manage IT Assets with the Right Tools?
