A passenger vehicle for travelling on a road includes: a processing unit; object sensors arranged on a plurality of locations in a plurality of directions with respect to a center of the passenger vehicle and capable of sensing an external object; and buffer forming devices arranged on a plurality of locations in a plurality of directions with respect to the center of the passenger vehicle, wherein the processing unit is connected to the object sensors and the buffer forming devices, and predicts a collision of the passenger vehicle with an external object by input from the object sensor, the processing unit predicts, when predicting a collision, the direction or location of the collision and causes a buffer forming device to form a buffer corresponding to the direction or location of the predicted collision, and thereby reducing an impact of the collision on the passengers by the buffer.
