What are some new car safety features and how do they help against forces?

Could anyone give me any new car safety features, and how they help against forces such as Friction, Net Force and Gravity?|||seat belts to prevent any jirk during any accident,head light , rear view mirrors|||Sorry, I forgot to vote. My best answer would have gone to UCANTCME, as I was asking about new features and that's what they gave me. Sorry, I know you missed out on the points.

(Antilock Braking System)


Antilock Braking Systems eliminate the need to "pump the brakes" when you have to stop quickly, preventing you from locking the wheels and skidding. Because ABS pumps the brakes for you, you can apply constant pressure on the brake pedal and concentrate on steering the car. This allows you to regain control during inclement weather or quickly avoid a collision. ABS is available for nearly all new cars and trucks and is standard equipment on many.





Electronic Stability System


An Electronic Stability System coordinates the ABS, Traction Control, and the "yaw" of your vehicle (how much a car rocks side-to-side). The individual systems are combined in an effort to reduce tire spinning, skidding, and tractionless cornering, keeping your tires in maximum contact with the road. Found mostly on luxury models, stability systems are slowly working their way into more vehicles.





Traction Control


While ABS helps you maintain control while braking, traction control helps you do so while accelerating. Traction control stops the spin of a wheel -- due to wet conditions, loose gravel or an overzealous foot -- by braking it, reducing the fuel or cutting spark plug ignitions (depending on your system). This insures maximum contact between your tires and the road.
