The Crash Predicting Car was built with a system (using radars and cameras) to detect when a crash is about to occur. Just prior to impact a bar locks into place within the car creating a brace to strengthen the frame. The brace reduced the impact from the crash.
This is just in the test phase so don't get too excited. The next step is to get Manufacturer's involved. I am sure with the sensor they could come up with all kinds of interesting features like -- deploying airbags, locking seat belts, Or an Oh $*#@! voice recording of some sort. We'll have to keep an eye on this and see what develops.
