One in Four Cars Totaled After Crashes Due to Tech and Age

According to a new report, one out of every four cars involved in crashes is now declared totaled. It's not because drivers are worse; it’s due to the growing complexity of automotive technology and older car fleets.Key TakeawaysTotal loss frequency rose from 22.1% in 2024 to 22.8% in 2025, a significant increase.The aging car population is majorly contributing to the rise in total losses as older vehicles are more costly to repair.Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and integrated electronics make repairs complicated and expensive.In 2025, nearly one-quarter of all cars involved in crashes ended up being totaled. This isn't because drivers aren’t paying attention or driving recklessly; it's due to the increasing complexity of modern vehicles.ADAS-equipped cars have sensors and camer...

Genesis Recalls G90 Due to Paint-Induced Radar Interference

Genesis has issued a recall for its flagship sedan, the G90, after discovering that one of its paint colors causes false object detections in the car's radar system. The issue affects only cars painted with Savile Silver and can lead to sudden braking at low speeds.Key TakeawaysThe recall impacts 483 G90s from model years 2023 through 2026 in the US.Savile Silver paint's aluminum content disrupts radar signals used by ADAS systems.Cars with this color must avoid using Highway Drive Assist until a fix is installed.The recall only affects cars painted in Savile Silver, one of Genesis’s premium shades. The aluminum-rich composition of the paint interferes with radar signals from the car's corner sensors, causing false detections that trigger sudden braking.Genesis engineers discovered this is...

Euro NCAP Overhauls Crash Testing for Enhanced ADAS Evaluation

Vehicle safety body Euro NCAP is set to implement significant changes to its testing procedures, marking the most substantial update since 2009. The new system introduces four core pillars of safety: safe driving, crash avoidance, crash protection and post-crash safety, aiming to better assess advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and cockpit usability.These modifications are partly in response to consumer feedback regarding the annoyance caused by intrusive ADAS warnings. NCAP aims to evaluate real-world utility alongside laboratory conditions, ensuring that these technologies perform as intended outside controlled environments. From 2026, higher ratings will be given to vehicles with driver monitoring systems that maintain driver attention and engagement.The new scoring system emphas...
