China Automotive Technology and Research Center Co., Ltd. (CATARC) has published the C-ICAP protocol in English. The current versions are available via 
Most midsize SUVs offer inadequate front crash protection for passengers seated in the rear, the latest crash test ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety show. "All these vehicles provide excellent protection for the driver," said IIHS President David Harkey, "but only a handful extend that level of safety to the back seat." IIHS recently updated its longstanding moderate overlap front crash test to add a rear passenger dummy positioned behind the driver. Although the test still includes a driver dummy, rear passenger protection is the main thing currently differentiating vehicles in this test.
AB Dynamics has released a major update of its Robot Controller Software, RC 9.4, which is focussed on increasing the efficiency of ADAS testing. Combined with a comprehensive library of preconfigured test scenarios updated for 2023, it enables automated testing of every current Euro NCAP ADAS protocol requiring driving robots. This provides a more streamlined and effective testing process for the industry.
KNCAP has updated several test protocols for 2023 and 2024 in Korean. In 2024 KNCAP will integrate a 56 km/h MPDB test. Furthemore KNCAP will integrate V2X communication devices to the rating system. The current versions are available via 
For a second consecutive year, preliminary estimates from the National Safety Council indicate the United States is in a dark place. Once again - in a single year's time - more than 46,000 people lost their lives in a preventable traffic crash. That's more than 46,000 people who didn't make it home to their families and loved ones in 2022. Estimates also reveal a staggering statistic: Compared to pre-pandemic 2019, the mileage death rate in 2022 increased nearly 22 %, showing just how dangerous it is to use American roads. 
How safe are electric vehicles? It's a question that keeps coming up in different ways in my role overseeing our vehicle crashworthiness evaluations at IIHS. When we first started testing electric vehicles in 2011, the question referred to fire risk. When damaged, lithium-ion batteries can ignite, and the fires can be extremely hard to put out. As a result, we have special procedures for EV testing, including monitoring the battery's voltage and temperature and asking our local fire department to be on site.
Ottometric has secured a total of $4.9 million USD in its seed funding round. The round was led by Rally Ventures, with participation from leading mobility funds including Goodyear Ventures, Proeza Ventures, Automotive Ventures, Trucks VC, Reinforced Ventures and Investor Collaborative. Ottometric was founded in 2019 by a team of automotive industry veterans from companies like General Motors, Autoliv, NVIDIA, and Optimus Ride who have been instrumental in the evolution of ADAS over the past decade, and have a deep understanding of the artificial intelligence (AI) training and validation processes.
For a pleasant driving experience, the longitudinal, lateral and vertical dynamics of a vehicle must be harmoniously coordinated. This is especially true for automated driving, when the driver turns away from active driving and the focus is on comfort. This is where ZF's cubiX software comes into play: It controls all chassis systems and ensures harmonious acceleration and braking, precise steering, and balanced damping.
Electrification of vehicles is an important tool to align the transport sector with a climate neutral future and achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Focused on climate actions, this year s annual session of UNECE's Inland Transport Committee (ITC) agreed on dedicated actions to facilitate wider adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) by working on policy harmonization, improving relevant data collection, and fostering global exchanges among experts in the public and private sector.
Riding a motorcycle in the Nordic countries is primarily a hobby and a summer activity. However, motorcycle accidents involve a higher risk of being killed or seriously injured, compared to accidents involving a car, as there is no seat belt, airbag or similar safety features. In the event of an accident, the body itself instead absorbs the force of the collision. Ary P. Silvano, a researcher in road safety and traffic modelling at VTI, has conducted a study on fatal accidents involving motorcycles in Sweden in comparison with the neighbouring Nordic countries.
The Horizon 2020 project MEDIATOR cordially invites you to its Final Event on Thursday the 13th of April 2023 in The Hague, the Netherlands. In the last four years, the MEDIATOR consortium worked on developing a mediating system for drivers in semi-automated and highly automated vehicles, resulting in safe, real-time switching between the human driver and the automated system based on who is fittest to drive.
