Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.European car safety testing agency Euro NCAP has named its top ten best safety innovations in a press conference at the Paris Motor Show October 1.
The organization said that its "Euro NCAP Advanced" awards were designed to offer more comprehensive guidance to consumers about the safety of new cars, as well as acting as an incentive to car manufacturers.
In the first ever presentation of the awards, five German automakers were recognized (Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Opel and Volkswagen), two French (Peugeot and Citroen), one Swedish (Volvo) and one Japanese (Honda).
Among the winners were blind spot radars from Audi, lane departure warning technology from Opel and Volkswagen, automatic crash assessment and calling systems from BMW, Citroen and Peugeot and collision mitigation systems from Honda, Mercedes-Benz and Volvo.
The awards were available to any technical system and judging was based on manufacturer's data and analyzed by Euro NCAP's team of experts.
