Indonesia's final investigation says a faulty sensor, improper maintenance procedures, and problems with a flight control system all contributed to the October 2018 crash that killed 157 people.

Automakers are getting better at protecting the people who buy their cars, but everyone else is getting slaughtered.

New evidence indicates that Boeing pilots knew about "egregious" problems with the 737 Max airplane three years ago, but federal regulators were not told about them. Investigators say the plane's new flight control system, called MCAS, is at least partially to blame for 737 Max crashes in Indonesia in 2018 and Ethiopia this year that killed 346 people. Acting on data from a single, faulty angle-of-attack sensor, MCAS repeatedly forced both planes into nosedives as the pilots struggled, but failed to regain control.

The long read: For drivers, roads are safer than ever – but for people on foot, they are getting deadlier. Car companies and Silicon Valley claim that they have the solution. But is that too good to be true?

A new project wants to help Amazon workers report unsafe working conditions.

At a car dealership a couple of months ago, Miles Harrison's 8-year-old daughter climbed into the back seat of a parked sports utility vehicle that a salesman was showing to the family. What happened next startled Harrison: As his daughter was exploring the back, the salesman got out of the car and shut the driver's door behind him. Suddenly, "the loudest horn you could ever imagine" started blaring, Harrison said.

A former engineer in Pueblo has taken on a new challenge; preventing kids from dying in hot, locked cars. Lane Maxwell wanted to come up with a device that could remind parents they have a child in the car without relying on any other technology. "This is a device to remind the driver that there's still a baby in the car seat," Maxwell said.

The carmaker says that it's not a safety problem if your car slips into neutral on the highway.

Researchers have new recommendations for where to sit (in the front, for adults; kids still get the back) and what features to look for.

Many new cars have optional features that can help prevent accidents. But those same features also make repairs more expensive. The result? Premiums can go up for cars that are less likely to crash.

Cities that build protected lanes for cyclists end up with safer roads for people on bikes and people in cars and on foot, a new study of 12 large metropolises revealed Wednesday.

There are plenty of good reasons that people should cycle more. People who exercise more are healthier and can score higher on cognitive tests, for one thing. And replacing short car trips with journeys by bike (or on foot) is probably a good thing if we want to try to deal with this whole climate change thing. But that will only work if people feel safe swapping their two-ton deathmobiles for a pair of pedals. And it may well mean providing cyclists with bike lanes protected from vehicle traffic with more than a coat of paint.

A three-month period in Austin, Texas, saw 20 injuries per 100,000 rides.

Most pediatricians know what makes a safe sleep environment for babies. But parents still are attracted to elaborate bedding and plush accessories — all the accouterments experts say have no place in an infant’s crib. That’s one reason new AAP safe sleep guidelines released today include basic recommendations from the past plus new warnings about increased risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) from use of soft bedding and the dangers of babies sleeping on couches and armchairs.

Boeing has long embraced the power of redundancy to protect its jets and their passengers from a range of potential disruptions, from electrical faults to lightning strikes. The company typically uses two or even three separate components as fail-safes for crucial tasks to reduce the possibility of a disastrous failure. Its most advanced planes, for instance, have three flight computers that function independently, with each computer containing three different processors manufactured by different companies.

Federal Aviation Administration managers pushed its engineers to delegate wide responsibility for assessing the safety of the 737 MAX to Boeing itself. But safety engineers familiar with the documents shared details that show the analysis included crucial flaws.
