New research from AAA reveals that automatic emergency braking systems with pedestrian detection perform inconsistently, and proved to be completely ineffective at night. An alarming result, considering 75 % of pedestrian fatalities occur after dark.
In 2020 Euro NCAP introduces the MPDB (Moving Progressive Deformable Barrier) Test. The test execution and evaluation is significantly more complex and demanding. For example, for the first time, the deformation of the crash barrier has to be scanned and evaluated with a 3D scanner.
Honda recently provides an immersive look into its safety research & development efforts as part of its "Safety for Everyone" initiative when it hostes a small group of media at the company's R&D labs in Raymond, Ohio. Honda showcases a new passenger front and conductes a small overlap crash test of a 2019 Honda Civic.
On October 17, 2019 former National Highway Traffic Safety Administrator Joan Claybrook and Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety released a paper titled: “NCAP at 40: Time to Return to Excellence.” The report recounts the history of the New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) in the U.S. and includes recommendations for improving the program. A 
For 50 years now, Mercedes-Benz experts have examined serious accidents involving current vehicles bearing the three-pointed star. The insights of Mercedes‑Benz Accident Research are incorporated into the improvement and design of updated and new models.
The Rimac C_Two is undergoing a massive program of crash-testing alongside hundreds of other official assessments as a part of its global homologation process. In addition to the homologation, Rimac is performing thousands of tests to ensure the performance, durability, and reliability of all systems.
In crash applications, not only materials but also and primarily, humans themselves are in the focus of research, since they have to be protected in a variety of possible crash scenarios. For the safety assessment of various loading scenarios, human models are increasingly used in the automotive sector. A prominent human model is the commercially available THUMS which was used at EMI in Version 5.
This year marks the 50th anniversary since Volvo Trucks’ Accident Research Team began to systematically gather, analyse and act upon in-depth information about real-life traffic accidents. The knowledge gained provides unique value in the development of safety systems and future vehicle designs, with the objective of making trucks and transport safer.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety rates the pedestrian crash prevention systems of 16 midsize cars. Four luxury and two nonluxury midsize cars earn a superior rating for their pedestrian crash prevention systems, while four nonluxury cars earn only a basic rating or no credit. Another six cars earn an advanced rating.
The practical suitability of semi- and fully autonomous vehicles is often determined by many test-drive kilometers on public roads. While this method very effectively allows the vehicle to “learn” all real-world situations, the replication of desired situations is not guaranteed and can therefore result in hours of driving with very little new or useful data being gained.
Actions from federal and state agencies and bicyclists themselves are needed to lower the number of crashes between motor vehicles and bicycles said the National Transportation Safety Board. In the NTSB’s first examination of bicyclist safety on U.S. roadways since its last report on this topic in 1972, the agency said critical changes were needed to address the recent rise in fatal bicycle crashes involving motor vehicles, even as overall traffic deaths fell in 2018.
Euro NCAP publishes the safety ratings of four vehicles. Two BMW’s - the 1 Series and the 3 Series – both achieve a maximum five-star rating. The Jeep Cherokee and the Peugeot 208 settle for four stars apiece.
Hyundai Motor Group develops the world’s first Machine Learning based Smart Cruise Control (SCC-ML). Machine Learning based Smart Cruise Control (SCC-ML) is a technology that incorporates the driver’s patterns into its self-driving behavior, creating a custom experience for the driver. The technology, an industry first, incorporates artificial intelligence (AI) within the Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) feature. The system is planned for implementation in future Hyundai Motor Group vehicles.
Global NCAP launches the sixth round of #SaferCarsForIndia crash test results with the welcome support of the FIA Foundation and Bloomberg Philanthropies. Results for the four models tested range from three stars to a single star for adult occupant protection. The models tested are: the Suzuki Maruti Ertiga, Suzuki Maruti WagonR, Hyundai Santro and the Datsun Redigo.
The National Transportation Safety Board calles for new national requirements for seating and seat belt systems on limousines, citing evidence gathered in investigations of accidents in New York, Illinois and New Jersey. The NTSB’s
