This document discusses various automobile safety systems including airbags, seat belts, anti-lock braking systems, collision warning systems, blind spot detectors, electronic stability control, and cruise control. It provides brief descriptions of each system, explaining their purpose and key components. For example, it states that airbags provide an energy absorbing surface to prevent occupant impact during a crash, and that anti-lock braking systems prevent wheels from locking up during braking. The document aims to explain the importance and history of incorporating these active and passive safety features into vehicle design to help minimize injuries from traffic collisions.
