A safety system for an automated vehicle includes an object-detector and a controller. The object-detector is operable to detect an approaching-vehicle proximate to a host-vehicle. The controller is in communication with the object-detector. The controller is configured to operate the host-vehicle to obstruct a travel-path of the approaching-vehicle when unimpeded travel by the approaching-vehicle on the travel-path may result in injury to a pedestrian.
