 Global NCAP and AA South Africa launch Safer Cars for AfricaGlobal NCAP and AA South Africa launch Safer Cars for Africa on November 22th, 2017 in Cape Town, South Africa, with the first independent crash test assessment of some of South Africa's most poular compact and small cars. The crashworthiness results of the five cars tested show a wide range of safety performance, from four to zero stars for adult protection, with the lowest ratings resulting in a high probability of life threatening injury in a road crash. read more ...

Some people think autonomous vehicles must be nearly flawless before humans take their hands off the wheel. But RAND research shows that putting AVs on the road before they’re perfect improves the technology more quickly-and could save hundreds of thousands of lives over time. When it comes to vehicles that drive themselves, perfection has a price. 
Thanks to new technologies, the standard safety measure for adults now also became available for toddlers with the new Maxi-Cosi car seat AxissFix Air. The world’s first child car seat with built-in airbags reduces the forces on a child’s neck and head significantly in the unfortunate event of a collision. The new Maxi-Cosi Air Safety technology keeps toddlers in a forward-facing position up to 55 % safer than children who are transported in a ‘regular’ forward-facing child car seat. 
A new child safety web site, which includes a safety performance comparison of more than 70 child restraint systems sold in Latin America has been launched 28 November 2017 with the support of Global NCAP. The Latin American Child Restraint Systems Evaluation Programme (PESRI) is a multi stakeholder partnership working to achieve the UN’s road safety Global Goals, by providing parents in Latin America with an independent assessment of some of the most commonly available Child Restraint Systems. 
Euro NCAP publishes the safety ratings of eight new vehicles, among which four have made their first appearance on the market this year: the X-Class, the luxury pick-up by Mercedes-Benz; the F-Pace’s smaller brother, the Jaguar E-Pace; the new DS brand's flagship car, the DS 7 Crossback; and the all-electric Citroën e-Mehari. Also released are the ratings for the new generation Porsche Cayenne, the BMW X3, the Subaru XV and its partner, the Impreza. Finally, Euro NCAP has re-tested the Honda Civic published earlier this year, after the company introduced improvements to the rear seat restraint on the in-production vehicle. 
A specially designed dummy is simplifying IIHS booster evaluations. Jasper, the dummy should make it easier for manufacturers to design seats that provide proper safety belt fit for young passengers. IIHS began using Jasper to measure boosters during the latest round of evaluations. A total of 16 new boosters for 2017 are rated. Thirteen of them earn the highest rating of BEST BET, meaning they provide good belt fit for typical 4 to 8 year-olds in almost any car, minivan or SUV. 
Reliable tests and cutting-edge measurement technology provide the essential basis for optimum vehicle development and engineering. Test configurations must be simplified as far as possible to ensure complete and reliable acquisition of the measurement data. Improved measurement results, lower material costs and shorter test times: these are the benefits that Kistler's DTI technology with its 'One cable for everything' concept can deliver, in vehicle safety testing, vehicle dynamics and durability tests. 
The insurance industry welcomes the UK Government's commitment in the Automated and Electric Vehicles Bill to create a list of automated vehicles. It is crucial, therefore, that that there is a clear definition of what constitutes an automated vehicle. Regulators and insurers require this to classify and insure vehicles appropriately, while consumers need to understand the functionality and capability of the vehicle and their own responsibilities. Consequently, a system that needs the driver to control or monitor the vehicle in any way cannot be classified as automated. 
Autoliv is performing crash tests in order to develop restraint systems for a population that is getting older and more diverse. Now, Autoliv is conducting research on a new crash dummy that represents an elderly female. Passive safety requirements continue to develop through research. The target in current legislation and rating programs (such as Euro NCAP) are male, with just a few exceptions. 
Federal Minister for Infrastructure and Transport Darren Chester reviewed the enhancements being made by Australian crash test laboratories to increase local safety test capability and improve vehicle safety in Australia. Mr Chester attended one of three Australian test laboratories used by the independent vehicle safety authority, ANCAP, to assess the safety of new vehicles for Australian consumers. 
The European Parliament says all new cars sold in Europe should be fitted as standard with a range of life-saving technologies including automated emergency braking, intelligent speed assistance and seatbelt reminders in all seats. Safety campaigners say the technologies could be as important as the seat belt, but action is needed now because it will take years before the majority of cars on the roads have the technology.
