This roundtable will delve into the transformative potential of advanced sensing technologies in enhancing vehicle safety. Traditionally, passive safety systems like airbags and seatbelts have relied on indirect methods to protect occupants during collisions, but these systems have limitations in terms of response time and accuracy. The discussion will explore how emerging sensing technologies provide real-time data, enabling more precise and timely safety measures. The discussion will address regulatory and standardization considerations necessary to accommodate these new technologies and aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how direct safety measures can significantly reduce injury rates and improve occupant protection. ​
