Abstract

See full text

A vehicle includes: a bumper assembly defining opposite lateral ends and an overall width extending therebetween, the bumper assembly defining a recessed area located between the opposite lateral ends thereof; an electronic sensor supported by the bumper assembly in cantilevered relation; and an energy absorber positioned within the recessed area to protect the electronic sensor and reduce dislocation of the electronic sensor by absorbing energy resulting from an impact between the vehicle and an external object. The energy absorber defines opposite lateral ends and an overall width extending therebetween less than that the overall width of the bumper assembly such that the opposite lateral ends of the energy absorber are spaced inwardly from the opposite lateral ends of the bumper assembly.
