An IIHS study of General Motors vehicles with optional front-crash prevention systems adds to the evidence that forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking prevent crashes.

The IIHS recently conducted a pair of crash tests demonstrating what happens to small cars when they collide with larger vehicles from the same manufacturer.

Two Volvo models are the latest vehicles to qualify for the 2018 TOP SAFETY PICK award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

Some 60 first responders representing 20 fire stations from Virginia recently gathered at the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's Vehicle Research Center.

FCA US announced it has invested more than $30 million at its Chelsea Proving Grounds in southeast Michigan to further development and testing of autonomous vehicle and advanced safety technologies.

While, ideally, driver-assist systems reduce the likelihood of crashes, there are still going to be opportunities for work for collision repair shops. To help clear things up, David Aylor, director of active safety testing Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, gives a rundown on the current state of ADAS technology is at and how those vehicles affect body repair procedures.

In a new study, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) warned that some electronic driver assist features in cars may not protect passengers without attention from drivers, and in some cases can even steer into an unsafe situation.

IIHS found that a misalignment in a dashboard camera can lead to problems in other ADAS tech safety features.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has launched a rear crash prevention ratings program to help consumers identify models with the technology that can prevent or mitigate low-speed backing crashes.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety tested six models and found two of them excelled: The Cadillac XT5 and Subaru Outback earned a superior rating from IIHS for their ability to operate safely in reverse.
