Passive safety features are built into vehicles to minimize driver and passenger harm during a crash. Groundbreaking passive safety features include seat belts and air bags. The introduction of the first safety cage, invented by Mercedes‐Benz engineer Béla Barényi shortly after World War II, marked the birth of passive safety. While passive safety systems have proven to be invaluable assets in automotive safety, they seem to have reached their potentials. Over time it has become evident that further significant advances in vehicle safety could be achieved through electronic systems and active safety systems. Antilock braking system (ABS) is a critical component of many other active safety systems in automobiles. For instance, electronic stability control (ESC) systems add steering and gyroscopic elements to ABS to assist the driver in steering maneuvers during dangerous braking situations.
