Some cars actually do change their geometry prior to a crash! Things like raise the suspension on the side about to be impacted so the car is higher!

Mercedes interestingly has a system to protect your ears by playing a sound pre-crash as well.

Wow I wouldn't have even thought about a pre-crash sound being beneficial. Really interesting, thanks for the link.
