crash prevention
Stopping impacts beforehand
Crash prevention refers to measures designed to stop collisions or system failures before they occur.
In automotive contexts, it describes safety technologies like automatic braking and collision warning systems: The car's crash prevention features detected the pedestrian.
In computing, it means safeguards against software or hardware failures that would cause data loss or system shutdown.
