In which type of vehicle safety is it necessary for the driver to take an action for it to be activated?
Active and passive safety
Explanation
**Active safety** in a vehicle refers to the elements designed to **prevent accidents**. These systems require an **action by the driver** to activate and function correctly. Examples of these elements include the **brakes**, the **wheels**, and the **lighting system**.
- The **brakes** are a crucial component of active safety. The driver must engage them to stop the vehicle or reduce its speed.
- Other systems related to the brakes, such as the **anti-lock braking system (ABS)** and the **autonomous emergency braking (AES)**, are also part of active safety, as they help maintain control of the vehicle during braking situations.
In summary, active safety requires the driver to **intervene** for these systems to work, which differentiates it from other types of safety in the vehicle.
