The safety board wants the currents standards, which say children should be protected in a cocoon of padded seats and high seat backs, expanded so that children will be kept inside the bus in the event of a side collision or a roll-over.

If an unavoidable side collision is detected, "'PRE-SAFE Impulse Side "'rapidly inflates the side bolster to move the occupant away from the point of impact, while at the same time "'PRE-SAFE Sound "'pumps noise waves through the speakers to reduce hearing damage following a collision.

The new Windstar received two five-star ratings, for both front and side collisions; the agency says the driver and front passenger are 50 percent less likely to suffer serious injuries in front or side crashes than they would be in a vehicle with a four-star rating _ the grade most minivans received.

The safety enhancements consist of strengthening an existing portion of the Volt s vehicle safety structure to further protect the battery pack in a severe side collision; add a sensor in the reservoir of the battery coolant system to monitor coolant levels; and add a tamper-resistant bracket to the top of the battery coolant reservoir to help prevent potential coolant overfill.

If the sensor tells the system the distance to the end of the lane on the sides is extremely small the car would activate side collision warning for a user to change the distance, if user does not input any activity to the system ( e . g . turning the steering wheel ) the car would change the lane itself.
