passive safety

Passive safety refers to vehicle features designed to protect occupants during a crash without requiring any action from the driver or passengers. Examples include seat belts, airbags, crumple zones, and reinforced cabin structures. These systems work automatically to absorb and distribute crash forces, minimizing injuries. Passive safety measures are essential for protecting occupants when an accident occurs, complementing active safety systems like braking or steering aids. Overall, passive safety focuses on preventing injuries and enhancing occupant protection through design and structural features that activate automatically in crash situations.
