Car safety factors
Let's consider the main factors that affect vehicle safety:
- Active safety systems: anti-lock braking system (ABS), electronic stability program (ESP), traction control system, collision warning and emergency braking systems.
- Passive safety systems: airbags (front, side, knee, curtain), seat belts with pretensioners, strong body and deformation zones, child car seats with ISOFIX mounts.
- Electronic assistants: lane keeping systems, adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring, traffic sign recognition systems and driver fatigue.
Safety ratings
There are independent organizations such as Euro NCAP and IIHS that assess the safety of cars. They conduct crash tests and evaluate cars on various parameters, assigning ratings. High ratings confirm a high level of protection for the driver and passengers.

Some cars that received high scores in safety ratings:
- BYD Seal and Dolphin,

Choosing the safest car is an individual decision. It is important to consider personal needs, budget, and pay attention to a range of safety factors and ratings from independent organizations.
