car safety

Automotive passenger security

Car safety refers to features, practices, and standards designed to protect vehicle occupants and pedestrians from injury or death.

This includes built-in equipment like seatbelts, airbags, and crumple zones, as well as driver behavior and road regulations.

The car scored five stars in safety ratings.

Modern car safety increasingly involves electronic systems—antilock brakes, collision avoidance, lane departure warnings—that prevent accidents rather than just mitigate them.
