Outer Airbags to Protect Pedestrians?






Toyoda Gosei (an offshoot of Toyota) prototypes:

they’ve equipped cars with camera and radar sensors to detect pedestrians and (presumably) activate the outer airbags to protect anyone within range of the car. The hood airbag is supposed to cushion your head while the grill airbag cushions your waist, making the fact that you are getting run over a teensy bit more comfy.

I know that this will not help our group, but it was very interesting.
