HERE Technologies announced a new partnership with Amazon, which will integrate Amazon Alexa and HERE navigation and location services. With Amazon Alexa's voice-first interaction combined with HERE's leading on-board navigation solutions, car manufacturers can easily provide intuitive voice-first experience for both internal and external users.

Alexa will first be integrated into HERE's new one-stop solution Navigation On-Demand program, which enables automobile manufacturers to achieve a fully functional new navigation experience in their vehicles. With Alexa Auto tools and application interface (API), HERE creates a real voice-first automotive navigation experience that allows users to focus on the road while Alexa also provides personalized guidance when and where drivers need it most.

HERE will also provide information on its location service platform and Alexa service, allowing users to search and locate points of interest, access real-time traffic information, and seamlessly plan routes inside and outside the car. For example, users can ask Alxa at home to set a reminder to buy bread at the grocery store after work. At the end of the day, the navigation system will find the best way to go to the grocery store after work based on real-time traffic information and user reminders, and remind the user to buy bread when the vehicle approaches the store.

Amazon will use HERE's high-quality positioning service to enhance Alexa's positioning awareness and provide context and insights for important location data to help users estimate the time to work or to the nearest cafe. In the future, Amazon and HERE will also explore opportunities to provide additional features to automakers and their customers. For example, by integrating services created in HERE Open Location Platform (OLP) Alexa, Alexa can answer questions in a more conversational manner.

At present, enterprise users use HERE's OLP platform to enrich, access their data, and contribute to the next generation of positioning services. HERE's OLP platform has acquired real-time vehicle sensor data from many automobile brands, and then converted the data from HERE into real-time world and safety information, such as traction loss or early hard braking, and transmitted to the embedded navigation system and advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) of the automobile.

      Has anyone sold auto parts on eBay or Amazon as a business?
      By TieRod
      Hello everyone, new here. I am curious if anyone has sold parts on eBay or Amazon as a business. I don't just mean selling a few brake pads that you never used or something like that...lol. I mean a real functioning business where you are buying from a wholesaler or direct and then setting up your product online for sale. With that comes replenishment, margins, tax, etc. So I'm curious to know if this is working for anyone and how you got started, what software you are using, best practices, etc.
      Thanks,
      "Tie" Rod

      Advance Auto Parts Offering Students a Chance to Win a ‘Fuel Ride to College’ and Free ‘Off-to-Campus’ In-Store Services

      ADVANCE AUTO PARTS OFFERING STUDENTS A CHANCE TO WIN A ‘FUEL RIDE TO COLLEGE’ AND FREE ‘OFF-TO-CAMPUS’ IN-STORE SERVICES
        Incoming college freshmen can enter to win a “fuel ride” – four years of free gasoline – after new national survey reveals gas is a significant financial strain for majority of students
      RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Advance Auto Parts (NYSE: AAP), a leading automotive aftermarket parts provider, announced today that it will help advance the education of incoming college freshmen, and ease their financial burden, by awarding 10 “fuel rides” in the form of four years of free gasoline to 10 lucky winners of the “Fuel Ride to College” sweepstakes.*
      This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: 
      link hidden, please login to view Along with providing four years of free gas to 10 college students, Advance Auto Parts is offering free in-store services, including free battery testing and installation, wiper blade installation and check engine light scanning. (Photo: Business Wire)
      Advance’s “Fuel Ride to College” sweepstakes arrives right on time as prices at the pump tick up. New data from Atomik Research reveals that 67% of college students cite gasoline for their automobile as being an expense that puts the most financial strain on their wallet**, while 76% of parents of incoming freshmen say they are worried about their student’s ability to afford gas.***
      Parents also have significant anxiety regarding the safety of their college students when it comes to the automobiles they operate, according to Atomik Research surveys commissioned by Advance. Nearly two-thirds (63%) of parents of incoming college freshmen feel very or extremely anxious about their student’s safety when it comes to maintaining their cars and about three-fourths (73%) of parents have more anxiety about the car safety of their incoming college freshman than they did during the child’s senior year in high school.
      Parents’ anxiety is warranted as more than half of college students admit to having ignored dashboard alerts and notifications, including “check engine” and “low battery warning,” according to the survey.
      To help ease this anxiety, Advance and its team of friendly automotive experts are offering students and their parents free “off-to-campus” in-store services at Advance stores nationwide, including free battery testing and installation, wiper blade installation and check engine light scanning.
      In addition to awarding 10 four-year “Fuel Rides to College,” Advance will also award 20 additional winners a $100 Advance gift card to stock up on essentials to help keep their automobiles in reliable shape this school year. If interested in learning more, visit 
      link hidden, please login to view through Aug. 18 to review eligibility requirements to enter for a chance to win and to review the sweepstakes rules. “Starting college is exciting for incoming freshmen, but that excitement is accompanied by anxiety and worry for both students and their parents, especially regarding finances and safety,” said Samantha Avivi, Advance’s chief marketing officer. “Through our ‘Fuel Ride to College’ program and complimentary curbside services for motorists, we want to put the brakes on fuel-filled worries for both students and parents, especially when it comes to having a reliable and safe automobile on the road to college, around campus, back home and everywhere in between.”
      Additional data from the Atomik surveys validate the value of a “Fuel Ride to College:”
      One-third (33%) of students cite that a lack of gas money or the cost of gas has deterred them from going to class, the library or study groups, while 60% of incoming college students’ parents express this exact worry: that the cost of gas will deter their child from going to class or education-related activities. Many college students choose between fueling their body and their automobile: more than one-third (36%) say they have compromised or cut back on groceries to fit gas money into their budget. One-quarter (25%) of college students say they’ve had to cut back or compromise school supplies to fuel their automobiles. Advance has also partnered with auto racing driver and television personality Arie Luyendyk Jr. to encourage incoming freshmen to enter for a chance to win a “Fuel Ride to College” and spread the word about Advance’s commitment to providing parents peace of mind via complimentary in-store services.
