This invention provides a head and neck protection device for rear-end collisions, including a headrest seat, a first buffer assembly, and a limiting mechanism. When a rear-end collision occurs, the impacted vehicle accelerates forward, causing the head of an occupant to strike the first cushion. Upon impact, the first cushion drives a guide seat to move, compressing multiple sets of buffers. At this time, the first cushion and the multiple buffers work together to cushion the impact on the head, improving the device's buffering effect and reducing head injuries. Simultaneously, the movement of the guide seat drives the fixing assembly to release the limiting rod. The driving component then drives the limiting rod to rotate to a second state, so that the arc-shaped portion of the limiting rod faces the first cushion. When the head moves forward due to the impact reaction force, the limiting rod can contact the head, thereby limiting large-scale forward head movement, preventing neck strain, and improving the device's protective effect.

Systems and methods for identifying potential collisions in which another vehicle may collide with the AV. The AV detects the other vehicle and determines the other vehicle speed, acceleration, and trajectory. The AV determines that there is a risk of collision if the other vehicle continues on its current trajectory at its current speed and its current acceleration. When an AV determines there is an imminent risk that another vehicle may collide with the AV, the AV can initiate a honk to alert the other vehicle of the potential collision. In some examples, the AV can identify a potential rear end collision, and the AV can honk at the vehicle approaching it from behind. In other examples, the approaching vehicle can come from any direction. Honking is designed to be limited so that an AV does not initiate too many honks.
