passive safety systems

Passive safety systems are features in vehicles designed to protect occupants without requiring any action or input from the driver or passengers during a collision. They automatically activate in an accident, such as crumple zones that absorb impact energy, airbags that deploy to cushion occupants, and reinforced structures that maintain cabin integrity. These systems work passively—they do not need sensors or electrical power at the moment of impact—ensuring continual safety readiness. Their primary goal is to minimize injury by controlling the forces experienced during a crash, functioning reliably to enhance overall vehicle safety.
