AIS Online and R-Safety Updates
A series of important updates to improve the security and usability of AIS Online and the R-Safety platform have been released.
As part of the updates:
- AIS Online received critical security upgrades to strengthen system protection.
- R-Safety was enhanced with improved inspection workflows to support examiners.
- A new R-Safety Portal is now live and available for existing R-Safety users.
- Transport for NSW (Transport) will continue developing the R-Safety platform, with further updates and a roll-out plan to be shared soon to all examiners performing AIS light vehicle safety checks.
Keep an eye out for future R-Safety updates to learn when you can start using the new digital platform.
For more details about the changes to the R-Safety app, portal and AIS Online, see fact sheets:
AI is now core to the latest generation of ADAS: deep-learning perception stacks, on-board real-time inference and sensor fusion enable crash-avoidance features that demonstrably reduce collision rates (notably AEB/FCW), while vehicle dynamics control is evolving from rule-based ESC to predictive, AI-assisted torque-vectoring and integrated stability management. Modern systems combine camera/radar (and in some programs lidar, mapping and environmental sensing) to detect, predict and act within fractions of a second; this increases safety but also creates new service obligations — precise sensor calibration, validated software/firmware management, authenticated OTA updates and documented post-repair procedures.
For workshops and maintenance operations that take a conservative, risk-averse approach to chemical use, changes to a product’s chemical formulation matter far more than marketing claims. LOCTITE’s latest generation of threadlockers represents a quiet but significant shift in this regard: a reformulation driven not just by performance outcomes, but by chemical risk reduction and sustainability considerations .
