 Most midsize SUVs perform well in new Side TestMore than half the midsize SUVs tested earn good ratings in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety s new side-impact evaluation. Ten out of 18 midsize SUVs earn good ratings: the Ford Explorer, Infiniti QX60, Lincoln Aviator, Mazda CX-9, Nissan Pathfinder, Subaru Ascent, Toyota Highlander, Volkswagen Atlas, Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport and Volkswagen ID.4, the only electric vehicle in the group.

In AAA's latest survey of attitudes about automated vehicles, drivers overwhelmingly want automakers to improve the performance of existing driver support features rather than develop self-driving cars. And this desire is backed by another round of AAA testing that reveals inconsistent performance remains a problem with available driving assistance systems, resulting in crashes with a car and a bicyclist.
Calspan is pleased to announce the grand opening of its new state-of-the-art, 40,000+ sq/ft occupant safety and automotive component development testing laboratory. This secure facility will be utilized to perform crashworthiness testing for vehicle interiors, seating, restraint systems, child seats, and related accessories. The test lab features new 3.1 Meganewton (MN) and 1.0 MN servo sleds that allow Calspan's customers to bring new and innovative products to market, which will ultimately help to reduce injuries and fatalities on roads all over the world.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration 
MGA has been developing and building safety test equipment for over 40 years to be used to test vehicles and components for crashworthiness. Typically changes and additions to specifications drive equipment innovation and development. Electric vehicles have changed the way tests are conducted. In case of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 214 Side Impact Protection, massive updates to equipment were necessary. With MGA's experience and expertise, these changes were made quickly.
As part of its ongoing evaluation of assisted driving technology, Euro NCAP has tested Highway Assistance systems offered on four recent cars. The Jaguar I-PACE system was graded as 'Entry' level, the updated Polestar 2 system as 'Good', and the VW ID.5 and Nissan Qashqai are the best performers with systems rated as 'Very Good'.
Now that nearly every new vehicle comes with automatic emergency braking (AEB), the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety is looking for ways to encourage even better systems that can prevent more severe front-to-rear crashes that occur at higher speeds. Through its ratings of front crash prevention systems and an industry commitment it helped facilitate, IIHS sought to make AEB systems virtually universal. This goal has been achieved.
For a recent six-year period, the injury rate for riders of electric scooters in one section of Los Angeles was higher than the national rates for riders of motorcycles, bicycles and cars, and pedestrians, new UCLA research has found. 
The ETSC, together with founder-member the Dutch Safety Board, have written to the European Commission raising a number of concerns about the regulation of assisted driving systems. The Dutch Safety Board has investigated a number of collisions involving driver assistance systems in the past, and published a 
Garmin announced the Varia RCT715 rearview radar with camera and tail light. Designed to provide cyclists with peace of mind during any ride, day or night, the Varia RCT715 continuously captures sharp, clear video during a ride while still providing state-of-the-art radar technology. "For years, cyclists around the world have trusted our Varia rearview radars to enhance their awareness of approaching vehicles during a ride, and we are thrilled to add the new RCT715 to the lineup of 'must-have' cycling safety products," said Dan Bartel, Garmin vice president of global consumer sales.
A Finnish research team investigating e-scooter related injuries has said their data show a higher rate of e-scooter injuries compared to other transport modes analysed in earlier studies. The 
Dutch-inspired improvements to cycling infrastructure in Lithuania, harmonised day and night-time urban speed limits in Poland and major new national road safety strategies in Greece and Portugal are some of the changes inspired by the EU-funded Road Safety Exchange project, which wraps up with a final event in Brussels. The project, which was funded by the European Parliament and managed by the European Transport Safety Council on behalf of the European Commission, has linked national experts from twelve EU Member States in partnerships spanning three years.
