Verizon is ushering in the new era of connected vehicle solutions with its introduction of Verizon Connect, a brand built to improve driver safety and efficiency for customers. Andres Irlando, CEO of Verizon Connect, was with Cheddar to explain the opportunity Verizon sees in connected vehicles.
Verizon Connect combines three best-in-class fleet and mobile workforce management software companies to deliver solutions that help drive safety, productivity and efficiency for customers. The new brand will help customers optimize their connection to vehicles and mobile resources more generally, said Irlando.
FreshDirect is a customer of Verizon Connect. Irlando said the company uses their software platform to improve driver behavior. The food-delivery company is also able to track speeding, harsh braking, and seat belt use. FreshDirect uses Verizon Connect's solutions for cold chain integrity to make sure their food is kept at the appropriate temperatures.
The Trump administration has ordered the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to stop nearly all its work, effectively shutting down the agency that was created to protect consumers after the 2008 financial crisis and subprime mortgage-lending scandal. Russell Vought is the newly installed director of the Office of Management and Budget. Vought directed the CFPB in a Saturday night email to stop work on proposed rules, to suspend the effective dates on any rules that were finalized but not yet effective, and to stop investigative work and not begin any new investigations. The agency has been a target of conservatives since President Barack Obama created it following the 2007-2008 financial crisis.
