The adopted pedestrian protection testing will evaluate the potential risk of head, upper leg, lower leg, and knee injuries to pedestrians hit by the front of vehicles. The agency expects that vehicles that score well in these tests will do so by using designs that absorb energy, reduce hard points, and mitigate pedestrian injuries in crashes.
Going forward, the NCAP will offer higher scores to cars equipped with blind spot warning, blind spot intervention, lane keeping assist, and pedestrian automatic emergency braking, emphasizing the importance of protecting vulnerable road users.
