NOVELIC Wins Nomination for 60 GHz Radar In-Cabin Monitoring System From Leading Tier 1 Automotive Supplier
The 60 GHz radar module will enable reliable, Euro NCAP-compliant child presence detection, as well as seat occupancy detection. MUNICH, June 24, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NOVELIC, a major innovator in mmWave radar technology, has announced their ACAM Automotive In-Cabin Monitoring solution will be coming to market in 2026, following a nomination from a leading Tier 1 supplier. This technology aims to bring child presence detection to passenger vehicles, along with additional functionality in the form of seat occupancy detection. "Our early investments in developing mmWave radar solutions have paid off," says Dr. Raffaele Soloperto, VP of Automotive Radar at NOVELIC. "NOVELIC's module is reaching market maturity, and we're proud to be bringing this life-saving functionality to end-users next year." Legislation on the topic of child hot car deaths has been gaining attention worldwide in the past several years. In 2024, 39 deaths have been reported in the United States. The European New Car Assessment Program (Euro NCAP) has mandated that automotive OEMs include child presence detection functionality in their vehicles by 2025, in order to secure the best safety rating. NOVELIC has developed a sensor to satisfy this requirement, leveraging mmWave radar technology – enabling top-notch performance while preserving passenger privacy. As opposed to camera-only occupant monitoring systems (OMS), mmWave radar technology can detect children even when obscured by a blanket, or the front seats. Accurate detection can be achieved in 7 seconds, allowing the vehicle to perform actions such as alerting the parent or turning on the air conditioning. The automotive industry is set to benefit from 60 GHz mmWave radars in a multitude of ways – NOVELIC leverages this technology for intrusion & proximity alerts, monitoring the immediate area around the vehicle, and contactless driver vital signs monitoring, measuring the driver's heartrate and respiration rate while operating the vehicle. Last month, NOVELIC's ACAM won the In-Cabin Innovation of the Year Award at the ADAS & Autonomous Vehicle International Awards, as recognition of a technology that "radically enhances driver/passenger experience, comfort or safety".

7 safest family cars to buy USED in South Africa
We take a look at the safest family cars available on the used South African market in 2025. Specifically, June is the month of Vehicle Child Safety, so we're putting emphasis on child occupancy safety. However, for South African parents, child safety remains top of mind no matter what month it is. As such, we're looking at the safest family cars available on the used market, courtesy of their Euro NCAP child occupant rating. And we're dovetailing that with AutoTrader's latest used-car listing data, to give a cross section of the safest family cars from affordable hatchbacks to top-end SUVs. Another winner for child occupant safety is the Opel Corsa, although these are typically a little older on the used market. Image: File Let's start our search for the safest family cars for children by helping those operating off a tight budget. There's a common perception that only the largest and most expensive vehicles provide top-tier safety. However, compact models like the Honda Fit and Opel Corsa actually offer exceptional protection for children. The Opel Corsa, for example, scores an impressive 83%, even though used models are typically three-years old. Meanwhile, the latest Honda Fit performs brilliantly well. It scores 22.4 out of 24 points (87%), involving six- and 10-year-old child dummies. Moreover, with an average used price of R341 667 and mileage of just 9 323 km, the Fit represents the most affordable five-star-rated Euro NCAP vehicle currently available on the used market. With a 92% child occupant safety rating, the Volvo C40 Recharge, as you'd imagine, is as safe as houses. Image: Ray Leathern A relatively new addition to the local market, the Chinese Omoda C5 outperforms its rivals. It boasts a child occupant rating of 87%. In terms of used list pricing, the C5 has an average price of R399 280. Impressive, despite being newer on average (1-year old) and offering lower average mileage. It's a smart choice if you want something bigger than a Fit or Corsa hatchback. The safest family cars in the upper SUV tier are the Land Rover Discovery Sport and Volvo C40 Recharge. Both represent five-star safety and everyday luxury in strikingly different ways. The Land Rover Discovery Sport achieves an impressive child safety score of 89%. With an average used price of R1 038 207, buyers can find low-mileage, nearly new examples for significantly less than a new model. And the Volvo C40 Recharge is the compelling zero-emissions alternative, also with an 89% child occupant safety rating. However, the silent Swede has a higher average used list price of R1 108 467. Ultimately, the safety family cars on the used market in South Africa don't have to come at a premium. Whether you're navigating the daily commute or love weekend escapes with the children, choose a vehicle with top-tier child protection. RANK MODEL CHILD OCCUPANT RATING AVERAGE PRICE AVERAGE MILEAGE & AGE 1. Honda Fit 87% R341 667 9 323 km (1-year old) 2. Opel Corsa 84% R265 011 30 890 km (3-years old) 3. Omoda C5 87% R399 280 5 767 km (1-year old) 4. VW Caddy 84% R419 224 29 573 km (2-years old) 5. Hyundai Tucson 86% R514 707 27 882 km (2-years old) 6. LR Discovery Sport 84% R1 038 207 25 939 km (2-years old) 7.
