Modern vehicles are designed not only to prevent accidents from happening in the first place, but also to reduce injury when a crash is unavoidable. To achieve this, manufacturers rely on two key types of protection: active safety and passive safety. Both are essential in keeping vehicle occupants safe and minimizing the effects of frontal collisions, sudden stops, and other dangerous situations.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is Active Safety?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Active security<\/strong> Refers to all systems and technologies that help to <strong>prevention of accidents<\/strong>.
