The program assesses the safety features of new vehicles, taking into account both traditional safety features such as airbags and anti-lock braking systems, and newer technologies such as lane departure warning systems, blind spot monitoring, and automatic emergency braking. The program was launched in 2014 and has been updated several times since then, with the latest update being included in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law in 2021. The program assesses the safety features of new vehicles and provides a 5-star safety rating based on the level of safety provided by each vehicle. The 5-star safety rating is based on a scale of 1 to 5 stars, with 5 stars indicating the highest level of safety. The program has been instrumental in promoting the adoption of safety technologies in the automotive industry. The 5-Star Safety Ratings Program: A Comprehensive Overview The 5-Star Safety Ratings program, also known as the New Car Assessment Program (NCAP), is a pioneering initiative that evaluates the safety features of new vehicles.

Article Title: Enhancing Crash-avoidance Safety with Advanced Driver Assistance Technologies

Introduction

The automotive industry has made significant strides in recent years to enhance crash-avoidance safety, with a focus on developing advanced driver assistance technologies (ADATs). These technologies aim to prevent accidents by detecting potential hazards and intervening before they occur. In this article, we will explore the four new ADATs being introduced, a crashworthiness pedestrian protection program, and a new safety feature that alerts drivers to pedestrians in their blind spot.
