Starting January 2026, Euro NCAP will introduce a more advanced Occupant and Driver Monitoring assessment, leveraging in-cabin technologies to enhance vehicle safety. The updated protocol will evaluate key features such as seatbelt usage, occupant positioning, optimized restraint systems based on occupant classification, child presence detection and post-crash occupancy. Additionally, it will assess how Driver State Monitoring systems can integrate with collision avoidance technologies. This session will explore the upcoming requirements in detail, their impact on safety, and what automakers and suppliers need to prepare for in the evolving landscape of in-cabin sensing.
