 Mercedes-Benz Experimental Safety Vehicle (ESF) 2019: New Safety Ideas for a new MobilityElectric drive systems and automated driving are key technologies for the mobility of the future. This leads to changes in the requirements for in-car safety technology: firstly, much more flexible seating positions in the interior of such vehicles require a different form of occupant protection. And secondly, empathy and trust are central factors for the acceptance of self-driving vehicles. With the new Experimental Safety Vehicle ESF 2019, Mercedes-Benz is giving an insight into the ideas that the company's safety experts are researching and working on.

To improve the safety of vehicle occupants, it has been customary for decades to carry out crash-tests using dummies. These crash-test dummies are increasingly getting virtual support in the form of computer models that simulate the defensive behavior of humans before a collision. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for High-Speed Dynamics, Ernst-Mach-Institut, EMI are among those using virtual human-body models in crash simulations, which yield more realistic conclusions about the injury risk.
measX publishes its seventh version of X-Crash, the standard software for analyzing vehicle safety tests on SafetyWeek 2019. The version X-Crash 7 offers extended functionalities. Evaluations for further test regulations have been added, including the C-IASI regulations. In addition measX presents the program variant

ZF plans to expand its network of cooperations and investments by acquiring 90 percent of the shares in Simi Reality Motion Systems GmbH. The company and its 35 employees have decades of experience in image-based 3D systems for the recording and analysis of human movement. This knowledge is highly valuable in the development of systems for occupant recognition. These systems are a fundamental element for integrated safety in autonomous driving.
Euro NCAP publishes the safety ratings of seven new vehicles, among which three have made their first appearance this year: Audi’s first fully electric model, the e-tron, Volkswagen T-Roc’s smaller brother the T-Cross and the hybrid Lexus UX. Euro NCAP also releases the results of the new Mazda 3, the Renault Clio V, and the latest Toyota Corolla and RAV4. All seven cars achieved the maximum five-star rating against the latest test requirements.
Audi is introducing the vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) service "Traffic Light Information" to Europe. From July Audi will network new models with the traffic lights in Ingolstadt/Germany; further European cities will follow from 2020 onwards. Then cars will be more likely to catch a "green wave" in the city: Audi drivers will see in the cockpit what speed is required to reach the next traffic light on green.
Global NCAP and the Automobile Association of South Africa launch the third round of #SaferCarsForAfrica crash test results. The models tested by Global NCAP are the Toyota Avanza, Honda Amaze and Suzuki Ignis. Global NCAP chose the entry-level version of each model and each was fitted with at least two airbags as standard. The results highlight significant differences between adult and child occupant protection.
The U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) issued advance notices of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) on the removal of unnecessary regulatory barriers to the safe introduction of automated driving systems (ADS) vehicles in the United States. NHTSA and FMCSA are seeking comments at this stage to ensure that all potential approaches are fully considered as the agencies move forward with these regulatory actions. 
Foretellix is introducing it's measurable safety approach for autonomous Vehicle verification & testing. With Foretify, it’s software platform, Foretellix is bringing a proven coverage driven verification approach broadly adopted in the semiconductor industry to the AV industry. Today’s testing methods and metrics are based on Quantity of Miles; physically or virtually logging miles and the associate number of disengagements and/or failure rates.
Three years ago, the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy launched the PEGASUS project with the aim of delivering standards for making highly automated vehicles safe. The project partners are now presenting their results. TÜV SÜD participated in the project right from the outset and was the only testing and inspection organisation among a total of 16 partners from science and industry.
