Abstract: Autonomous vehicles (AVs) represent a transformative technology in the transportation industry, promising improved safety, efficiency, and convenience. However, ensuring the safety of AVs on public roads has become a critical issue. Rigorous crash testing protocols, traditionally used for evaluating conventional vehicles, play an essential role in the development of safety regulations for AVs. This review explores how these testing protocols are being adapted to assess the performance and safety of AVs in various collision scenarios. It also discusses the challenges associated with testing AVs, the role of crash testing in creating standardized safety regulations, and the importance of crashworthiness for public trust. As the AV industry evolves, crash testing will remain crucial in developing robust, reliable, and consistent safety standards.
