How Cars Protect People in a Crash: The Physics of Vehicle Safety
Why would engineers design a car to collapse? It sounds like a weakness, yet carefully controlled damage can help protect the people inside. This lesson explores the central enquiry: “How can engineers reduce the forces on people when a moving car has to stop almost instantly?” It also separates technology that prevents a crash from technology that reduces harm when a crash happens.
