 BMW and ZEEKR secure five Stars under Euro NCAP's new TestsThe new framework raises the standard for consumer protection, placing greater emphasis on intuitive and effective driver assistance systems, robust crash avoidance, occupant protection for a diverse population, and post-crash safety and care. The results show that manufacturers are already rising to the challenge. Both the all-new BMW iX3 and the ZEEKR 7GT have earned Euro NCAP's highest five-star safety rating under the new protocols.

NHTSA Administrator Jonathan Morriso issued a public call to action to automated vehicle developers regarding a pattern of interference with first responders. The call to action builds on NHTSA's continuing efforts to ensure safety while removing barriers to American innovation. In the last few months, the agency has slashed redundant red tape, hosted the first-ever National AV Safety Forum, and announced efforts to create safety standards for AVs.
In a project called U-Shift II, researchers from several Baden-Württemberg research institutions have jointly enhanced a driverless vehicle concept that adapts itself quickly and automatically to different tasks. It ties in with previous U-Shift projects in which the basic principle was designed. The mobile platform is able to autonomously pick up and set down different superstructures, so-called capsules.
Road safety continues to be a major challenge in Colombia. Despite efforts in regulation, infrastructure and enforcement, crash rates remain high, reinforcing road safety as both a public health issue and an economic sustainability concern. In this context, ADAS are emerging as one of the most effective strategies to reduce risk, particularly risks associated with human error, which is responsible for approximately 90 % of road crashes.
ASEAN NCAP has introduced the kiDS Child Presence Detection Subject (CPD-DS3) as the standardized reference surrogate for the assessment of Child Presence Detection (CPD) systems under the ASEAN NCAP 2026-2030 Protocol. This enhancement supports the evaluation of direct-sensing CPD technologies that detect the presence of a child left inside a vehicle using physiological indicators such as respiration, body movement, and thermal signatures.
MESSRING has successfully completed the delivery and installation of a new, highly flexible crash test facility for the China Merchants Testing Vehicle Technology Research Institute (CMVR) in Hefei, China. The project further deepens the long-standing collaboration between MESSRING and CMVR, formerly known as CVTRI, which already operates a MESSRING installation.
The increase in the number of electric vehicles demanded that insurers have the appropriate technical infrastructure in place for the repair, diagnosis and final disposal of units with high-voltage batteries, in compliance with safety and environmental standards. With this in mind, CESVI ARGENTINA has once again taken a pioneering role, keeping pace with technological advances in the automotive industry and vehicle repairability.
One of the most notable changes in NHTSA's updated FMVSS 210 regulation is the introduction of new test setup methods. Manufacturers now have the option to utilize the Body Block Zone Determination method or adopt the Force Application Device (FAD) approach, which may eliminate the need for traditional body blocks entirely. It is important to note that manufacturers must select their compliance method at the time of vehicle certification and may not change methods once the vehicle is in production.
The Bosch MC Battery Service Innovations GmbH joint venture, established by Bosch and Mitsubishi Corporation, has secured its first customer for its innovative Battery as a Service (BaaS) solution. This milestone was now marked with the inauguration of an energy service hub located in Chizhou, China. The facility, operated by Shanghai Lingzhou Technology Co. Ltd., is the first to deploy the joint venture's technology.
The increasing prevalence of electric and hybrid vehicles presents new challenges for insurers and repair shops, particularly in the regulation of damage to high-voltage batteries (HV batteries). These components are not only cost-intensive but also technically complex, making repairs and replacements more difficult. AZT did an analysis with the aim to examine the causes and frequency of battery damage, identify preventive measures, and explore cost-reduction opportunities through repair-friendly approaches.
Four more 2026 models, the Audi A6, BMW X1, Mazda CX-5 and Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid, take home TOP SAFETY PICK+ awards in the latest round of ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. New ratings for five other models that do not qualify for either award are also available.
In connection with SAFER's 20th anniversary celebration, special awards were presented to recognise outstanding contributions within the SAFER community. As a collaborative platform, SAFER is built on long-term partnerships, shared knowledge, and joint efforts across academia, industry and public actors. These awards highlight the importance of engagement, leadership and idea development in strengthening our collective capacity to contribute to safer traffic environments for all.
