Car Safety Features and Technologies

Explanation
  Safety can never be over emphasized when it comes to any vehicle and luxury vehicles are at the top of the list for safety features. A vehicle with a high price tag should be able to adequately protect the passengers within it.
  Safety can be explained in two categories.
  Active Safety - Features and technologies used to avoid collisions. These can be improvements on existing features or totally new features.
 
  • Passive Safety - Features and technologies used to protect passengers should a collision occur in extreme circumstances.
