"To make travel safer, particularly in the near term, it is essential that we find ways to rein in risky driving and improve the design of our roads," writes Cicchino. A new IIHS Insight column is out now: go.iihs.org/insight-beyond…

📰 #IIHSNews | The newest batch of safety ratings is out, and two vehicles took home a IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+. 🔗 go.iihs.org/news-2-awards New ratings are also available for the 2025 Jeep Wrangler 4-door, 2025 Chevrolet Colorado crew cab and 2025 GMC Canyon crew cab.

Preparing your teen to be safe on the road is important work (and a little bit stressful). Our partners at the @IIHS_autosafety have prepared a helpful checklist that you can run through with any new driver in your life. iihs.org/research-areas…

✅ The 2025 Chevrolet Blazer EV is in position, and the cameras are primed. It's test day!

An important new study on a new measurement technique developed by TSR partner @IIHS_autosafety highlights a concerning trend about blind zones in new vehicles. Learn more in the IIHS release below.

A new IIHS technique offers researchers a more efficient way to measure driver blind zones. The new method relies on a portable camera rig that can be positioned in the driver seat at various heights to represent different-sized drivers. Learn more: go.iihs.org/news-blind-zon…

A strong rear underride guard can help save a life when a passenger vehicle rear-ends a large truck. Stoughton, a leading manufacturer of semitrailers, recently earned our TOUGHGUARD award for its intermodal container chassis. Learn more: iihs.org/toughguard

🗣️ Testing is underway for the 2025 Volkswagen ID. Buzz, one of several electric models we're currently focused on.

🆕 | Crashes took 40,901 lives in the U.S. in 2023. IIHS breaks this data down in a variety of ways to help inform policymakers, researchers, and the general public. Find state-by-state trends and more at iihs.org/research-areas…

📸 We tested a 2024 Jeep Wrangler in our updated moderate overlap test last week. So, naturally we had to add some crash test DUCKIES! Don't worry, the duckies were safely relocated before the crash by request of the test coordinator 😊 🦆

An average of 145 people lost their lives in crashes on July 4 during 2019-23, making it the deadliest day overall and the deadliest day for motorcyclists. As you head out today, watch your speed, buckle up (or strap on a helmet), and don't be a distracted or impaired driver!

IIHS President David Harkey will soon address the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Energy and Commerce’s Subcommittee on Commerce, Manufacturing, and Trade. Tune in below.

It’s not just your imagination. New research from @IIHS_autosafety show blind spots in cars and trucks are getting worse. I have the story with @ItsFillar and @JPaigeWWJ on @WWJ950 audacy.com/wwjnewsradio/n…

Kudos to @StoughtonTrailers for designing an @IIHS_autosafety ToughGuard rated rear underride guard for container chassis' 👏👏👏 Rear Underride protections SAVE LIVES and are ALSO needed on ALL Single-Unit Trucks freightwaves.com/news/insurance…

The @IIHS_autosafety's tests were even tougher this year, focusing on rear-seat passenger safety. These are the safest cars that made the list: consumerreports.org/cars/car-safet…

So excited to welcome science educators next week for a special day of training on some of the materials at classroom.iihs.org. And also 🍪🍪🍪!
