Bosch Chassis Systems Control Division develops innovative components, systems and functions in the field of vehicle safety and vehicle dynamics. Active safety systems recognize hazardous driving situations and guide the vehicle dynamics in a targeted manner to restore the stability of the vehicle. If an accident is unavoidable, passive safety systems provide protection for vehicle occupants as well as pedestrians and reduce the risk of injury. Our competence lies in the networking of active and passive safety systems, and thereby we realize new dimensions in safety, comfort and agility.
