Crashworthiness refers to the ability of a vehicle or structure to protect its occupants from injury during a collision. Today’s vehicle have an array of increasingly complex features designed to avoid crashes and prevent injuries when crashes do occur. Systems such as Electronic Stability Control, Lane Departure Warning, Electronic Throttle Control, seatbelt pretensioners, energy absorbing structures, and advanced airbags were all developed to protect vehicle occupants. What happens when one of these systems fails to work properly?
