The New Evaluation Technologies for Car Safety

The evaluation of vehicle safety is undergoing constant updates to reduce risks and damages in accidents, contributing to the manufacturing of safer cars by manufacturers. The safety tests conducted by governmental and independent entities are becoming increasingly stringent and advanced to check for possible vehicle faults.

Evaluation of the safest cars According to LatinNCap

In 2023, several institutions released the most recent results of their tests, such as the Latin NCap, which highlighted three Volkswagen cars among the 5 safest in Brazil.

To determine which cars are the safest in the world in 2023, the vehicles underwent comprehensive evaluations, divided into 4 distinct test groups:

Crash Resistance

Accident Prevention and Intervention

Safety Belts and Protection Equipment for Children

Other Features for Driving Assistance

It’s time to discover the 10 safest cars in the world in 2023, based on the results released by Euro NCap and IIHS by the end of October.

10. Honda Accord

At the top of the list is the Honda Accord, which recently arrived in Brazil in its new generation. This sedan from the Japanese manufacturer received the highest rating in all evaluated categories, earning the “Top Safety Pick+” seal, the highest safety grade awarded by IIHS.

9. Toyota Camry

The Toyota Camry is another midsize sedan that received the Top Safety Pick+ seal from the Institute, despite not achieving maximum scores in all tests. The model received an acceptable rating for its headlights and average in moderate front crash resistance.

8. BMW X1

The BMW X1 was considered one of the 10 safest cars in the world after the most recent tests from Euro NCap and IIHS, also obtaining the Top Safety Pick+ rating.

The German SUV achieved the highest score in most tests, except for the seatbelt reminders for occupants, where it received only a median score.

7. Volvo XC90 Recharge

Volvo stood out on the list with the XC90 Recharge model, which had exceptional performance in vehicle safety tests, except for the headlights and ease of use of the child protection system, where it received an acceptable rating.

6. Honda CR-V

The Honda CR-V also stood out as one of the safest cars in the world in 2023, receiving top scores in several tests, except for the ease of use of the child protection system, where it received an acceptable rating.

5. Jeep Grand Cherokee

The Jeep Grand Cherokee, recently launched in Brazil, stood out as one of the safest cars in the world in 2023, despite receiving a minimum score in one of the frontal tests.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

The seemingly endless sand is disappearing: the world extracts 50 billion tons per year from rivers and beaches, a volume comparable to 19,000 pyramids of Giza, while mafias profit, islands disappear, and city concrete is threatened until 2050.

Scientists drill 8,000 feet of ice in Antarctica and race against time before the hole freezes over again to bury the world’s deepest seismometers and turn the South Pole into a giant ear for earthquakes across the entire planet.

Rice in space becomes a scientific bet for China to understand how microgravity can alter the genetics of the most important grain for Asian food security and reveal if future generations of the plant can be born, grow, and maintain their biological identity away from Earth.

How much would a Toyota Hilux cost without tax in Brazil? A diesel pickup truck priced at R$ 250,000 could drop to around R$ 127,000, showing why pickup trucks have become a luxury product in the country.

Windows without a prison-like appearance gain momentum in 2026 and promise to completely transform residential facades with more natural lighting, discreet security, increased property value, and a modern look without the burden of the old iron bars that dominated Brazilian homes for decades.

How much would a Toyota Corolla cost without tax in Brazil? A mid-size sedan priced at R$ 171,000 could drop to around R$ 96,000, showing how much the tax burden weighs on the most desired car of the Brazilian middle class.

An executive says that gasoline is stuck with technology over 100 years old, while electric cars already occupy the present and aim at the future of the automobile.

Chevrolet Onix Activ 2027 with a 1.0 turbo engine of 115 hp, fuel efficiency of up to 15.3 km/l, and 20.1 cm of ground clearance debuts for R$ 116,000 after 7 years, featuring an adventurous look and a 15-year warranty on the oil-bathed belt.

Small, automatic, and reliable car for around R$ 50,000: Kia Picanto combines economy, structural safety, good internal quality, and durable mechanics, but tests show that it makes sense mainly for urban use and not for those who frequently drive on highways.
