Head-on vehicle collisions are notorious for causing injuries and even fatalities, so the 'Active Cockpit' concept has been designed by Aren Designs as a way to help combat against this.

The cockpit design works by addressing the effects that [head-on collisions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-airbag-platform) can have by highlighting a rotating functionality that would allow the vehicle cabin to spin upon impact. This could help to disperse the sheer force that is experienced upon impact to prevent injury and save lives.

The 'Active Cockpit' concept comes as a complementary design that would work with existing vehicle technologies like blind spot monitoring, automatic braking and lane assist to reduce the occurrence of potential injuries during accidents. The design shows strong merit through digital renderings and could be used as inspiration when it comes to the future of vehicle design.
