Get there safely
Feeling safe to drive in all conditions enhances driver confidence and driving satisfaction.
Already at the design stage, engineers create solutions to minimize injuries sustained in an accident.
Crash tests provide information about the course of a collision. They are carried out by car manufacturers and independent organizations.
Passive safety
Passive safety components are designed to protect people traveling by car from the consequences of a collision. Such a set consists of a number of solutions. A comfortable interior should guarantee maximum safety through the use of high-quality steel. 
yield strength that can absorb three times more energy compared to conventional materials. The interior's rigid steel frame is extremely strong, while controlled crumple zones at the front and rear of the vehicle help protect occupants. The effects of side impacts are minimized by steel beams located inside the door and foam fillers that dissipate impact energy.
High-tech cars are equipped with sensors that send signals to a processor that analyzes the force of impact and activates on-board security systems in milliseconds. Safety belts with pyrotechnic pretensioners instantly shorten, preventing the body of the driver and passenger from being thrown forward. Depending on the strength and energy of the impact and the signals from the passenger mass sensor, airbags are deployed, which have two levels of deployment. In addition to front and side airbags to protect the driver and front passenger, side curtain airbags provide additional protection from injury to both front and rear passengers.
In a frontal collision, the pedal unit is disengaged and retracted to reduce the chance of injury to the legs or feet. Some manufacturers use an additional airbag to protect the knees from injury. When 
in the event of a severe rear impact, active head restraints are activated to prevent the head from tipping back and protect against possible whiplash injuries. Modern seats are designed in such a way that passengers can maintain their seated position during a collision. Even in the event of an accident, the car provides passengers with space to survive.
Due attention is also paid to protecting the vehicle from fire. The upholstery materials are fire resistant. A power switch is installed in the fuel pump power system. The fuel tank has high mechanical strength and is equipped with a valve that shuts off the fuel supply in the event of a collision. Electrical cables carrying high currents are suitably protected so that they do not become a source of ignition.
Active safety
While driving, safety is influenced by various factors: the type and condition of the coating, visibility, speed, traffic intensity, technical condition of the car. Active safety is the responsibility of systems, devices and mechanisms whose task is to counteract situations that could lead to a collision. To make it easier for the driver to drive the car, an anti-lock braking system (ABS) was created, equipped with a brake force distribution system, an anti-skid system 
car when starting off, anti-lock braking system of the drive wheels. Increasingly, both axles of vehicles are equipped with high-performance disc brakes. The braking systems include an electronic driver assistance system that automatically increases the braking force and significantly reduces the distance needed to stop the car. Electronic Stability Program (ESP) helps the driver stay on track by reducing engine power when appropriate sensors detect wheel slip. In the past few years, a system for detecting low tire pressure has been introduced, and research is underway on automatic lane recognition, as well as adaptive maintenance of the distance to the vehicle in front. Systems have been built that automatically notify emergency services of an incident in the event of an accident.
The aforementioned solutions, both in the field of active and passive safety, constitute a certain catalog of possibilities, which is used to some extent by vehicle manufacturers. The number and type of devices used have a significant impact on the price of a vehicle.
