The Volkswagen brand will present a Passat autonomous driving vehicle. Through the advanced sensors and artificial intelligence, Volkswagen researchers are studying how to make driving safer, easier and more enjoyable for human drivers. Volkswagen Group of America's Electronics Research Lab and the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Lab are collaborating in this topic under the Volkswagen Automotive Innovation Lab (VAIL) at Stanford. Past successful joint work with Stanford includes 60-mile DARPA Urban Challenge. With no human interaction, the robotic vehicle navigated itself and finished the race without any incidents.

The Audi brand will demonstrate the cutting-edge emissions reduction technology from its Audi Clean Air initiative. The group is working to create connected, intelligent vehicles that are capable of collaborating with their users and with each other to preserve the environment. Environmentally friendly navigation lets drivers choose the most energy efficient route. Smart engines use traffic information and advanced topography to consume less fuel. On-board cameras allow vehicles to act as smart moving traffic nodes and share traffic information with other traffic nodes and data sources. And vibration energy harvesting provides a clean energy source to power vehicle sensors.

Volkswagen's view of environmentally responsible vehicles will also be demonstrated in its zero-emission Tiguan HyMotion. The HyMotion makes the dream of extracting hydrogen from water for energy a reality. The powerful compact SUV is powered by a hydrogen fuel cell and yields zero emissions - clean water vapor is the only byproduct.

The Volkswagen Group is committed to innovative, efficient and environmentally responsible driving. The Volkswagen Group, through its Electronic Research Laboratory, is once again a Diamond sponsor of the event and will be showcasing its latest efforts to meet the world's transportation needs.

This year's ITS World Congress is November 16-20 in New York City at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center. It is expected to draw a record number of attendees.

About BUYINS.NET

WWW.BUYINS.NET is a service designed to help bonafide shareholders of publicly traded US companies fight naked short selling. Naked short selling is the illegal act of short selling a stock when no affirmative determination has been made to locate shares of the stock to hypothecate in connection with the short sale. Buyins.net has built a proprietary database that uses Threshold list feeds from NASDAQ, AMEX and NYSE to generate detailed and useful information to combat the naked short selling problem. For the first time, actual trade by trade data is available to the public that shows the attempted size, actual size, price and average value of short sales in stocks that have been shorted and naked shorted. This information is valuable in determining the precise point at which short sellers go out-of-the-money and start losing on their short and naked short trades.

BUYINS.NET has built a massive database that collects, analyzes and publishes a proprietary SqueezeTrigger for each stock that has been shorted, www.buyins.net/squeezetrigger.pdf. The SqueezeTrigger database of nearly 2,250,000,000 short sale transactions goes back to January 1, 2005, and calculates the exact price at which the Total Short Interest is short in each stock. This data was never before available prior to January 1, 2005, because the Self Regulatory Organizations (primary exchanges) guarded it aggressively. After the SEC passed Regulation SHO, exchanges were forced to allow data processors like Buyins.net to access the data.

The SqueezeTrigger database collects individual short trade data on over 7,000 NYSE, AMEX and NASDAQ stocks and general short trade data on nearly 8,000 OTCBB and PINKSHEET stocks. Each month the database grows by approximately 50,000,000 short sale transactions and provides investors with the knowledge necessary to time when to buy and sell stocks with outstanding short positions. By tracking the size and price of each month's short transactions, BUYINS.NET provides institutions, traders, analysts, journalists and individual investors the exact price point where short sellers start losing money.
