ANCAP don’t even do their own testing. They literally just copy ENCAP ratings.
That is why so many vehicles in the Australian market are unrated.
Comment on Tax breaks for huge US-style utes cost Australians over $250m in foregone revenue in 2023.

The side impact test is done at 1600kg. A small < 1000kg car is expected to take this kind of hit, while these stupid monster trucks don’t even have to punch half their weight.

My other complaint is that ADAS systems weigh heavily in their ratings, but most factory ADAS systems are barely functional, with false positives and false negatives.
Many drivers use Advanced Driver Assistance Systems as a substitute for driving skill and paying attention to traffic conditions.
