-- Patented and up for licensing, sale or startup --
! The patent owner of this invention is willing to work with any appropriate business to manufacture this badly needed lifesaver and START SAVING LIVES!!


For decades already an average of 39 kids -- and hundreds of pets, including police k9’s! -- die in US every year in hot cars. 2018 was the worst year ever for child hot car deaths with 54 victims. Second worst year in history: 2019 with 52 casualties.



The most reliable, affordable and versatile add-on technological solution out of all products and concepts proposed so far is never4get.us which consists of 2 pads (see below), requires no installation tools or skills and can be installed in 10 seconds. See the detailed description HERE. It can also be installed (or can be moved from one vehicle to another) in seconds by anybody with 0 tools and 0 technical skills.


Just place Pad-D on the Driver seat and Pad-C on the Child seat:




In any car provided with never4get.us the device works as follows: anytime there is a child (or anything else) on the Pad-C and the driver reaches her destination an audible or/and visual alarm will remind her that there is something on Pad-C as soon as the driver removes her weight from Pad-D in order to exit the vehicle.

Never Forget Us works for anything placed on Pad-C (laptop, pets, briefcase and so on) inside cars or school buses with any number of occupants and also flawlessly works outside the vehicle (in homes, offices, hotel rooms).




Why never4get.us Stands Out

never4get.us addresses the shortcomings of current market offerings:

  • Superior to Automaker Solutions: Many automakers, such as GMC and Tesla, propose reminder systems that increase vehicle prices by hundreds of dollars, burdening consumers. These solutions are often limited to new models, excluding owners of older vehicles. never4get.us offers a cost-effective, retrofittable alternative that meets Hot Cars Act requirements without inflating costs.

  • Versatility Beyond Vehicles: While most solutions focus solely on cars, never4get.us extends protection to homes, offices, and travel settings, safeguarding children, pets, and valuables in diverse scenarios.

  • Reliability and Simplicity: By avoiding reliance on complex apps, subscriptions, or vehicle-specific technology, never4get.us delivers consistent performance with minimal setup or maintenance.

Alignment with the Hot Cars Act

The Hot Cars Act mandates that all new vehicles include reminder systems by 2025, with retrofitting options for older models. never4get.us is uniquely positioned to support this legislation:

  • Compliance: Our system meets or exceeds regulatory requirements, providing a reliable alert mechanism.

  • Cost-Effective Retrofitting: Pad-C can be added to any child seat or surface, making it an ideal solution for older vehicles.

  • Scalability: Partnerships with automakers can integrate Pad-D into new vehicles, ensuring seamless compliance without significant cost increases.


Even when all new cars will be HOT CARS Act compliant there will still be, for decades, millions of vehicles on the roads manufactured before the requirements (for new vehicles) of the HOT CARS Act kick in. Which means that hundreds of kids and thousands of pets will die in hot cars until ALL vehicles will be HOT CARS Act compliant.

Unless:

An add-on technological solution will be made available ASAP for all parents, caregivers and pet owners, add-on that works for any vehicle regardless of brand, model or year.

Also: the new vehicles will not come with the child seat installed. The Pad-D can be preinstalled in the Driver's seat but an add-on will still be needed: the Pad-C for the Child seat for the automakers that will choose the most reliable, affordable and versatile technological solution: never4get.us.

What should be done:

It's a NATIONAL problem, so organize a NATIONAL contest to discover the best solution!

Tackling the National Issue: A Call for Solutions! Given the magnitude of this problem, we propose a NATIONAL contest to unearth the best solutions. The contest will focus on four main criteria:
- Reliability
- Versatility (does it work for any model/year vehicle, or only for a select few?)
- Ease of installation
- Affordability.
Of course, the contest organizers can introduce any other criteria they deem relevant.

*** never4get.us is confident that it will excel in all four categories ***

In the end, the public will be informed of the top solutions, and manufacturers
can choose their preferred option.

Together, we can finally solve this issue!





On 11/15/21 the Infrastructure Bill was signed into law which includes the Hot car provision passed in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (H.R. 3684). The law includes text for (i) new passenger vehicles and (ii) retrofitting the existing cars.


(i) Never Forget Us! (let's call it N4) can be used for all new passenger vehicles and here is why: Different interests tried for years to mandate reminders in new cars but it was a lot of opposition from the auto industry and consumers because the reminders proposed by automakers would add hundreds of dollars to the vehicle's value and the consumers hated the idea of paying more.

IF some of the new vehicles will just sell along with N4, which will cost between $30 to $50, everybody will be happy. Not to mention that unlike the preinstalled reminders that cannot be moved from one car to another, the N4 can be moved in seconds (say grandpa comes to pick up the kid/s for whatever reason but his car doesn't have a reminder while the parents have N4).

Remember: the child safety seats didn’t come with every new car, thus unnecessarily inflating the vehicles’ cost for millions of buyers. The child safety seats are an add-on mandated only for parents of children below a certain age, and nobody ever complained about it. The best way to provide the vehicles with the newly mandated reminder and lifesaver is also an add-on as proved, for decades already, by the child safety seats.

(ii) For retrofitting the existing cars here are the

Facts:

(1) A reminder for kids in passenger vehicles has just been mandated by law in US, as it has already been mandated in Europe – another huge market! -- and Israel. A mandated by law product is every investor or manufacturer’s dream.

(2) Due to (1) many automakers (GM, Ford, Hyundai, Tesla and so on) designed reminders for some of their soon to come new vehicles BUT those reminders (which are less reliable than mine anyway) cannot be used to retrofit the existing 260.000.000 passenger vehicles already on the US roads.

(3) So even if Never Forget Us! will only be used to retrofit some of the more than 260,000,000 vehicles already on US roads it can easily generate a lot of money, and here is the math: If it covers only 20% of the market will still generate $1.053 Billion. (Please see this slide in my Pitch Deck)

10%$526,500,000

even covering only  5% of the US market would still mean over $260,000,000 profit.

It’s simple math and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

And please remember that any company in the world would love to have exclusive rights on a patent for a mandated by law type of product.
