1. A crash assessment and safety device activation system, including a host object, comprising:

  • a first remote sensor coupled to the host object and adapted to detect a first target object within a region sensed by said first remote sensor and generate a first object signal from said first target object;

    a first visual sensor adapted to sense at least a portion of said region sensed by said first remote sensor and therefrom generate a visual signal;

    a first safety device actuator, coupled to the host object and adapted to activate a first safety device; and

    a controller, coupled to the host object and adapted to receive said first object signal and said visual signal, said controller further adapted to generate a confirmation signal for said first target object through checking said first object signal with said visual signal, said controller further adapted to control said first safety device actuator in response to said confirmation signal.
