"Revolutionizing Car Safety: Innovations to Protect Pedestrians"
Pedestrian safety is often overlooked when designing cars, but there are technologies that can help protect vulnerable road users (VRUs). These include pedestrian airbags, pop-up bonnets, and automatic emergency braking (AEB) systems. However, the cost and integration of these features remain challenges. Additionally, speed and the size of vehicles play a significant role in the severity of impacts. Regulations and safety assessments are being considered to improve vehicle safety for pedestrians, but more needs to be done to prevent traffic-related tragedies.
