Modern vehicles have seatbelt pre-tensioners to get drivers as close to the tested crash position as quickly as possible. Some vehicles also move the seat position before a crash to get you closer to the test position as well.
- eunoia 5y agoMy 2019 Volvo XC40 pre-tensions the seatbelts and moves the seats like this. I didn’t know it was a feature until I nearly got rear ended waiting on a left turn and the car went into rear impact protection mode. (Other driver veered off at the last second). It was quite impressive tbh.
