Volkswagen is in the process of finally introducing a connected services platform to its Australian vehicles, with its commercial vehicle division getting the technology first. The first vehicles to receive the third-party Connected Cars-operated Goconnect system are the electric ID. Buzz people mover and ID. Buzz Cargo van. This is despite Volkswagen’s initial plans to bring connected services to Australia through the related ID.4 and ID.5 electric SUVs. Both of these SUVs have been delayed multiple times, most recently to this month, and are now due around March 2025. 100s of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now . ID. Buzz owners will receive a complimentary five-year Goconnect subscription with their vehicle, with pricing after this point yet to be finalised. Via the Goconnect phone app, owners can view their parking position, visualise the vehicle’s most recent trips, interact and book appointments with their dealer, view important errors and warnings, see the high-voltage battery status, and see the driving speed. Volkswagen has confirmed the Goconnect system will be rolled out across the wider commercial vehicle range, including the Amarok ute, from July 2025 onwards. It’s worth noting this connected services system isn’t a proprietary system, but it is Volkswagen Group-approved globally. “So there are some markets that are classified as offline markets,” said Volkswagen Group Australia director of commercial vehicles, Ryan Davies. “Australia is currently one of those, and we don’t have a true picture of when the connectivity that’s available in Europe will make its way into Australia.” One feature the third-party Goconnect connected services system will lack in local Volkswagen commercial vehicles is an emergency call function. Mr Davies said Volkswagen is liaising with Connected Cars to see if it can offer emergency calling down the line, especially given the cars already have a SIM card as part of the package. As previously reported , this exact third-party connected services system is also being introduced to the ID.4 and ID.5 electric SUVs when they launch locally next year.

The Ottawa Police Service has laid charges against a 33-year-old man involved in allegedly assaulting five people before being shot by police in a parking lot near Place D'Orleans Shopping Mall earlier this month. Police have charged Tyler Low of Ottawa with 52 offences, including four counts of attempted murder, five counts of aggravated assault, 12 counts of assault with a weapon and assault of a police officer.

NORMAL — Authorities have identified a Hudson man who died in a crash near College Avenue and Veterans Parkway Tuesday morning. In a joint statement, the Normal Police Department and the McLean County Coroner's Office said Randal A. Siebert, 69, was pronounced dead at the scene. The statement said Siebert experienced a medical event while driving as the sole occupant of a pickup truck that then left the roadway and crashed. A toxicology test is pending. Normal police had responded at 8:44 a.m. Tuesday, after Siebert's southbound pickup truck struck two power poles on the west side of Veterans Parkway, NPD Lt. Steven Koscielak said in an interview that day. Siebert lost consciousness while driving and then collided with the power poles, but police did not suspect he was under the influence of alcohol or drugs, Koscielak said. The coroner’s office, along with NPD and the McLean County Accident Reconstruction Team, continue to investigate the incident. As the evenings get darker and the roads get icier, you should take extra caution, so here are some tips for driving during the fall and winter months from road safety expert Daived Georgis. Screech. Boom. Crash! In today's fast-paced world, car crashes feel like simply a fact of life. In 1913, before cars dominated the roads, there were only 1.3 million vehicles registered and 4,200 deaths associated with them, according to the National Safety Council. Fast-forward more than a century to 2022, when the latest data is available, and registered vehicles have soared to 283 million, with 46,027 people dying and 5.2 million getting injured on the road. The General analyzed National Highway Traffic Safety Administration data to determine the most common types of car crashes in the United States. According to the NHTSA, there were nearly 6 million car crashes reported in the United States based on its most recent data from 2022. The NHTSA's annual Crash Report Sampling System analyzes police-reported vehicle accidents from across the country and breaks them down into categories based on the type of collision and whether the collision resulted in property damage, injury, or death. Fortunately, the incidence of fatal crashes per 100,000 people dropped 2% between 2021 and 2022 , but that decrease comes on the heels of a sharp 11% increase from 2020 to 2021 when motorists returned to the road after COVID-19. These traffic accidents cost the economy about $340 billion in lost productivity, medical, and legal costs over this period. States have made some progress in combatting crashes by aggressively enforcing traffic laws under programs such as Click It or Ticket (which encourages wearing seat belts) and installing improved road markings and signage. Automakers have also done their part by incorporating technology along the lines of collision detection and blind-spot monitoring into vehicles. Despite these advances, driving is still one of the most dangerous activities Americans perform on a daily basis. Most people likely consider car crashes the product of two or more vehicles in motion colliding. However, NHTSA data showed that single-vehicle crashes were the most common type of collisions, accounting for approximately 1.8 million reported cases. These involve a single vehicle in motion colliding with pedestrians, animals in the roadways, or stationary objects, including parked or immobile vehicles. They also include crashes where a single vehicle mistakenly veers off the road or rolls over. The second most common collisions were rear-end crashes, wherein one vehicle strikes another from behind, accounting for almost 1.7 million reported accidents. They often occur when the vehicles involved are slowing down, such as when approaching traffic lights, stop signs, or heavy traffic. Angled collisions were slightly less common, accounting for approximately 1.3 million crashes. These crashes occur when one vehicle's front strikes another's side at or near a right angle and are often informally referred to as T-bone collisions. Sideswipes, where the sides of two vehicles strike each other, accounted for fewer collisions, while head-on collisions were among the least common. Accidents of all kinds can be prevented by practicing regular driving safety: maintaining proper speed, allowing ample distance between you and the car ahead, and taking road and weather conditions into account. Even if no other vehicles are on the road, drivers must still keep an eye out for animals and pedestrians, along with objects that might present collision hazards. Backup cameras, collision detection, and other advanced safety technologies are becoming standards on many modern vehicles and can also assist in avoiding collisions. Lastly, drivers must minimize distractions such as using smartphones or even eating a quick to-go meal while behind the wheel. Traffic crashes accounted for 42,514 deaths in 2022 , a mortality rate of 12.8 per 100,000 people, according to the Federal Highway Administration. This number was 716 deaths lower than the previous year, but it is still high compared to the 39,007 deaths in 2020 and the 36,355 deaths in 2019. Apart from being the most common type of crash, single-vehicle accidents were the most fatal, accounting for 3 out of every 5 deaths. This is a stark contrast to rear-end collisions, which almost matched single-vehicle crashes in overall number but only accounted for 7% of fatal incidents. Between vehicles in motion, angled collisions accounted for 18% of all fatal crashes. Head-on collisions were low in number but highly lethal, accounting for 11% of fatal crashes. A good portion of these crashes occurred in the evenings, especially on the weekends , according to the National Safety Council's analysis of NHTSA's data. These times are often when there may be fewer vehicles on the road but sudden changes in the roadway and hazards are less visible. These are also the times when drivers are most susceptible to exhaustion, drugs or alcohol, distraction, and colliding with unseen objects. Since 2020, there has also been an increased number of crashes involving large trucks, with the majority of fatalities being occupants in other vehicles besides the trucks. These fatal collisions can occur even when the truck is parked. Regulations in the trucking industry limit the number of hours truck drivers can operate their vehicle, but face a shortage of overnight parking venues. As a result, more truck drivers are pulling off onto road and highway shoulders for rest periods and sleep. Unfortunately, these dark hours are when large trucks parked on the side of the road present the greatest hazard to other drivers. Caution and due regard are the best preventative measures drivers can exercise to stay safe on the roads and avoid all kinds of crashes. As Georgia's Department of Transportation says, "Drive alert.
