Protecting people requires more than good intentions; it takes Safety Intelligence. That’s why we created the Safety as a Mission booklet, a concise, actionable resource that distills our most critical insights into one powerful guide.

As we wrap up the series, we recap the entire series and call out the top five priorities for treating Safety as a Mission for the industry. The future belongs to those who act, together and without delay.

Part 8 of the series looks at the Agile Partnership Model and how we believe it will bring OEMs, regulators, and researchers into fast-moving, integrated teams that do more than collaborate; they deliver. This is not about checking boxes. It’s about saving lives.

In Part 7, we explore how new technologies designed to protect vehicle occupants can also help reduce injuries and fatalities outside the vehicle.

In Part 6, we explore why traditional crash testing isn't enough to keep up with modern vehicle complexities and the growing demand for accurate, real-life crash data.

In Part 5, we look at how advancements in active and passive safety testing are helping engineers evaluate and improve vehicle systems designed to protect vulnerable road users. These innovations aim to create more realistic test scenarios, ultimately reducing pedestrian injuries and fatalities.

In Part 4, we explore equitable safety design for Every Body across industries, and the increased safety challenges faced by underserved populations.

Our safety experts have read the NHTSA NCAP Final Decision and Roadmap documents and created a summary of the key updates and take-aways.

In November, NHTSA published a long-awaited update to the New Car Assessment Program (NCAP). It includes many significant changes and additions for Automated Driving Assistance Systems (ADAS) & Pedestrian Safety updates and a roadmap outlining future changes in the next 10 years.

In Part 3, we examine if regulators and the industry keep up with the pace of change enabled by data, simulation and AI.

In Part 2, we discuss if a change in outcomes demands a shift in policy and regulation.
