Designing cars for occupant safety blends crashworthiness, crash avoidance, and the emerging promise of autonomous driving into a single safety ecosystem. Crashworthiness focuses on strong structures, crumple zones, and restraint systems that protect people when a collision occurs. Crash avoidance adds technologies like automatic emergency braking, lane‑keeping, and stability control to prevent crashes before they happen. Autonomous driving extends this logic further by using sensors and algorithms to reduce human error, which causes most crashes.
