 EVOC launches revolutionary Airbag Technology for Bike BackpacksFor the first time, EVOC has integrated an airbag system into a protector backpack for commuters with the goal of minimizing the risk of injuries while cycling in the city. In collaboration with Minerva Airbag Systems GmbH, EVOC developed a sensor-controlled, inflatable airbag protector aimed at reducing impact forces in bicycle crashes.

Under the motto "Allround Protection", the two perspectives around the vehicle ("Pre-Crash Safety") and into the vehicle ("Occupant Safety Monitoring") will be networked more closely in the future in order to adapt the airbag deployment strategy more closely to the situation, the occupants and their position. In particular, the goal is to use signals from connected control units to implement new functions that make it possible to deploy airbags earlier and more controlled, as well as to extend their service life. Especially in the case of a side crash, every millisecond counts.
Velodyne Lidar, Inc. announced a white paper, written by Velodyne experts and published by SAE International, that calls for independent performance testing of driver assistance systems to be expanded to include dark, nighttime scenarios, as more than 75 percent of pedestrian fatalities occur in low-to-no light conditions. The change would address a gap in current testing protocols that primarily look at daytime conditions and largely overlook the risks to pedestrians from driver assistance systems which perform poorly in dark, nighttime conditions.
The SafetyWeek brought together nearly 300 automotive safety experts from August 31 to September 2, 2021. About two thirds of the participants attended the event in Würzburg, Germany. One third followed the live stream from all over the world. The SafetyWeek combined the 3 conferences SafetyUpDate, Auto[nom]Mobil and SafetyTesting and as accompanied by an exhibition were suppliers of automotive safety technologies and services presented themselves to the expert audience.
Five new cars, representing a wide range of propulsion types, have been tested in the latest round of Euro NCAP safety tests. The first European offerings of two Chinese brands - Lynk & Co's 01 hybrid and NIO's battery electric, the ES8 - achieve the maximum five-star rating.
ZF has launched its next generation mid-range radar to support advanced ADAS safety functions and enhance the available ZF coASSIST semi-automated system on the Dongfeng Aeolus Yixuan MAX in China. ZF's mid-range radar is a high-performance 77GHz front radar designed to meet 2022+ Euro NCAP 5-Star Safety Ratings and enable semi-automated driving functions.
TNO, Siemens DISW and Itility have started a TKI project to develop and demonstrate the use of virtual simulations for the safety assessment of Connected Automated Driving (CAD) systems. Case-by-case testing of individual functions of CAD systems is no longer sufficient to ensure operational safety on the road. This project enables Virtual Assessment of CAD systems using simulations of a large variety of tests based on TNO's StreetWise technology.
Crash avoidance features seem to benefit young drivers more than others, recent studies by the Highway Loss Data Institute show. Crash avoidance systems are associated with larger reductions in the frequency of collision and property damage liability (PDL) claims for drivers under 25 years old than those ages 25 and older, HLDI found in separate studies of Honda, Kia and Subaru vehicles.

The Federal Government has set itself the objective of effectively shaping the mobility of the future. Digital innovations in the transport sector are to ensure modern, clean, accessible and affordable mobility in towns and cities as well as in rural areas. This makes it necessary to develop new innovative mobility strategies. Digitalizing transport systems therefore plays a key role. The core elements in this context are technologies for automated and connected driving and the application of methods of Artificial Intelligence. The Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure (BMVI) provides grants to fund research and innovation in these sectors. 
National Transportation Safety Board Chair Jennifer L. Homendy is calling for a fundamental change in the nation's approach to highway safety in the face of increasing crash and fatality numbers. In a keynote address to the Governors Highway Safety Association conference September 13th 2021, Homendy said the "Safe System" approach to highway safety embraced by other nations has led to reduced fatalities and crashes.
