The new Audi Vehicle Safety Center on the incampus premises in Ingolstadt provides significantly improved and state-of-the-art crash test facilities. Around 100 million euros were invested in the facility. Among its features are a 250-meter (820 ft) run-up track, a mobile 100-ton crash block, and the ability to collide two vehicles at a 90-degree angle. As a premium brand, Audi is committed to meeting heightened requirements that go beyond current international standards.

The system can recognize the vital signs of the occupants and accurately relay this information to the vehicle's electronics. By analyzing this data, the system can assess the occupant's state of health and, with the integration of additional sensor technology, even approximate their age. This breakthrough enables the triggering of emergency warnings when necessary, which can occur in several steps, depending on the vital information, and may ultimately involve forwarding the data to emergency services.

The newly developed electric motor, the class-leading Intelli-Lux LED® Pixel Light with a total of 168 LED elements, the head-up display or the natural voice recognition "Hey Opel" - the first electrified Opel Astra is full of technical highlights. But the engineers have also further developed the compact class bestseller in less visible areas. One safety specific feature now makes the new Astra Electric even safer: the adaptive belt force limiter. It controls the belt force, which acts on the body during an impact, even more precisely in order to reduce injuries as far as possible and at the same time protect the driver as much as possible.
