3. Euro NCAP aims to highlight automated driving technologies and raise awareness of
their benefits. It will continue to challenge vehicle manufacturers to offer the best
possible safety as standard in all car segments and markets, protecting car occupants of
all ages, gender, and sizes and to also look out for the other road users in traffic.
