Abstract:
A vehicle system includes a sensor and a processing device. The sensor is configured to detect an impact vehicle. The processing device is programmed to predict an impact zone, define a passenger zone relative to a host vehicle, and generate a control signal to move the impact zone away from the passenger zone. The passenger zone is defined at least in part on a location of at least one occupant inside the host vehicle.
