Answer 1

Safety features are redundant in most cars. I would stick with the human factors regarding safety.
I. No cell phone use.
2. No drinking.
3. Before driving car, do a safety inspection. Check
oil, lights, do a walk around, check fuel gage.
4. Sit in car, put on seat belt and advise all passengers
to buckle up.
5. Adjust seat and all mirrors.
6. Obey traffic laws.
7. Remember you are guiding a moving ton of steel.

Answer 2

First, introduce the DRIVER!

The driver is the most important safety feature of any vehicle. The knowledge and skill of any driver is generally there on view at any crash site.

Next, would be manufacturer's features that protect occupants in the event of an "accident". These are a few obvious examples....
3 point seat belts - first introduced by Volvo
Safety glass - first used in the US
Head restraints - to prevent whiplash
Crumple zones - to absorb impact
Air bags, etc etc
Most saloon/sedan vehicles have these features.

The best safety feature is a competent driver... it is often said that if all steering wheels were fitted with a sharp metal spike there would be far fewer accidents....ouch!!

Answer 3

Maybe you could talk about school buses?

On school buses, occupant protection is provided by "compartmentalization," not safety belts. Compartmentalization is the name for the protective envelope created by strong, closely-spaced seats that have energy-absorbing high seat backs that protect occupants in the event of a crash.

School buses also have other features that contribute to the high level of safety they provide each occupant. Features such as emergency exits, roof structure, fuel systems, and body joint strength make the bus stronger, larger, heavier, and safer than most other vehicles on the road today.
