Chicago, IL – HAAS Alert and Mitsubishi Electric Automotive America, Inc. (MEAA) forged a strategic partnership on May 30, 2025, aimed at elevating vehicle safety through innovative technology integration. This collaboration will see MEAA’s new in-cabin monitoring system, FLEXConnect™, seamlessly incorporate HAAS Alert’s Safety Cloud digital alerting platform, ultimately improving the driver experience and providing a higher level of protection on the roads.
The announcement was made simultaneously in Chicago and Northville, Michigan, emphasizing both companies’ commitment to leading advancements in the next generation of onboard vehicle experiences. This partnership will not only enhance driver awareness but also work towards reducing collision risks significantly, thus contributing to overall roadway safety.
HAAS Alert is recognized for having the largest commercially implemented Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) safety network through its Safety Cloud platform. This robust system connects both passenger and commercial vehicles to a wide-ranging global network of emergency services, infrastructure, and roadway hazards, allowing for the delivery of real-time safety messages. These alerts are made possible through partnerships with major automotive manufacturers, including Stellantis and Volkswagen, using navigation applications like Waze to ensure drivers receive timely information.
Emergency vehicle alerts are a pivotal feature of the Safety Cloud, enhancing drivers’ situational awareness by notifying them of approaching emergency vehicles and other potential roadway hazards. This proactive communication is crucial in mitigating collision risks, particularly in urban environments where the likelihood of accidents may be higher.
The partnership between HAAS Alert and MEAA also underscores HAAS Alert’s initiative to collaborate with vehicle manufacturers for developing connected vehicle technologies. This integrated approach is expected to advance vehicle safety not just in the Americas but across the globe, as HAAS Alert has already expanded its operations into Europe in 2023, addressing pressing road safety challenges in countries such as the UK, Germany, and France.
The importance of this partnership extends to addressing the unique roadway safety needs in different regions, with a particular focus on enhancing safety measures in the Netherlands and other European nations, which are known for their progressive road safety initiatives.
MEAA is recognized for its reliability in manufacturing high-quality interior systems for major Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) globally. By integrating HAAS Alert’s Safety Cloud with the FLEXConnect™ system, MEAA aims to elevate the comprehensive safety and comfort levels within the vehicle space.
This strategic alliance represents a significant step forward in the automotive industry’s collective efforts to improve safety standards through technological advancements. As vehicles continue to evolve with integrated technologies and smart systems, partnerships like this one will be crucial in shaping safer driving experiences for everyone on the road.
The collaboration between HAAS Alert and MEAA is poised to set new benchmarks in vehicle safety, signaling a future where connected technologies will play an increasingly essential role in safeguarding drivers, passengers, and pedestrians alike.
