One of the primary drivers behind the global motorcycle side view assist system (MSVAS) market is the continued incidence of motorcycle rider fatalities, which has reached an all-time high of 250% compared to the number of registered motorcycles in the US, as of 2014. A distinct lack of riding skills, combined with a failure to appreciate the inherent operating characteristics of a motorcycle with regard to a car, has been found to be some of the prevalent reasons behind motorcycle fatalities. This is the rider safety cavity that MSVAS is expected to fill. Apart from the safety angle, bikers usually gravitate toward touring bikes/maxiscooters due to the comfort offered by these bikes. MSVAS plays right into the expectations of this consumer base by easing the effort on their necks since it replaces the traditional "turning the head" ritual, which bikers usually do when changing lanes.

Uncertainty has a cycle, like everything else, which threatened to peak in 2016, as geopolitical risk took centre-stage in shaping the fortunes of global corporates. Our view: the net effects of anti-trade sentiment from growing nationalism, protectionism, and Brexit are likely to outweigh greater hope for fiscal stimulus in corporates’ investment planning.An overall stable outlook for corporate ratings in 2017 also fails to show persisting high levels of regional disparity. Net Negative Outlooks and Watches improved strongly in the U.S, but Latin American corporates are facing increasingly challenging conditions and a weakening credit trend with Negative Outlooks comprising 31% of our international rating portfolio. The slow recovery from the recession in Brazil, weak domestic growth rates in Chile, tax reforms in Colombia, and economic uncertainty in Mexico will continue to pressure ratings over the next 12 to 18 months.
