International. AAA advances its mission to protect service technicians and towing suppliers by offering innovative solutions that improve safety on the road.
HAAS Alert, the company behind the connected vehicle platform and safety Cloud digital alert service, joins the Automotive Preferred Provider program at AAA, one of the largest and most trusted membership program organizations in the Americas serving more than 56 million members in the U.S.
AAA is committed to improving safety on the road, and this tool will further that mission by providing real-time alerts to drivers approaching the scene.
Safety Cloud is the nation's largest digital alert and connected vehicle platform and is currently installed in thousands of towing and public safety fleets.
The V2X (vehicle-to-everything) service transmits real-time messages from equipped service vehicles to approaching drivers via in-dash infotainment systems and navigation apps.
Alerts remind drivers to slow down and step aside and are received up to 30 seconds before approaching an incident on the road. Advanced notifications like these have been shown to reduce the risk of collision by up to 90%.
Safety Cloud alerts are available on select vehicles from leading brands such as Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Chrysler and Alfa Romeo, as well as through popular navigation apps such as Waze. To date, more than 2 billion Safety Cloud alerts have been delivered nationwide.
The AAA Automotive Preferred Provider program provides roadside assistance and towing providers nationwide with access to products, technologies and solutions to help improve safety and service for stranded motorists and the professionals who serve them.
The addition of Safety Cloud will provide AAA service fleets with comprehensive information on how to equip and use this technology for added protection when providing roadside assistance.
"It means a lot to us to partner with AAA," says HAAS Alert CEO Cory Hohs.
"For decades, AAA has strongly championed Move Over laws, road worker protections and other road safety initiatives that have saved countless lives. Their recognition of Safety Cloud as a valuable tool to improve road safety is one of the most significant endorsements we could ever receive, and reinforces our commitment to this cause."
AAA Managing Director of Automotive Cliff Ruud said, "AAA is dedicated to making the road safer for all road heroes.
"We are thrilled to welcome HAAS Alert as the preferred supplier and offer this innovative solution to the thousands of attendees on the road."
