Abstract
AbstractCrash tests of vehicles are specified by government programs. This laws are includes only minimum requirements for individual components. Therefore additional consumer protection load cases have been developed by independent private institutes. Finite element method simulations can reduce development periods and the number of cost-intensive real crash tests. The goals of the calculations are that the early detection of component failure, the protection of occupants or pedestrians. The biggest challenge of the future, in the field of vehicle occupant safety is the interaction of the airbags and belt system with dummy by the electric vehicles, which have the concept of autonomous driving function. The aim of the research is to investigate this area using a simulation model.

Summary
The issue of occupant safety has become more and more important in the automotive industry. An electric car in the same category behaves differently in a crash test than a car equipped with an internal combustion engine. There are several differences, but one of the most obvious is that the passenger cell in the electric car has no rigid block like in the internal combustion variant, which only minimally capable of deformation. Another trend can be observed at large automotive industry companies, which would lead the future towards autonomous, self-driving cars. The research problem is the passive safety of the occupants in a fully selfdriving car. The effect of non-conventional seating positions on the extent of injuries, from the case of a rotated driver’s seat to the case of a fully reclined driver’s seat, must be examined
