Like seat belts, airbags are a type of automotive safety restraint system designed to reduce injury in the event of an accident. Built into the steering wheel, dashboard, door, roof and/or seat of your car, these gas-filled cushions use an impact sensor to trigger a rapid expansion of nitrogen gas contained within a cushion which springs on impact, to create a protective barrier between passengers. and hard surfaces. The two main types of airbags are designed for front and side impacts. Advanced front airbag systems automatically determine whether and at what strength the driver's front airbag and the passenger's front airbag are deployed. The correct power level is based on measurements of sensor inputs that can typically detect the size of the occupants, the position of the seats, the use of seat belts by the occupants and the severity of the accident.
In 1964, Japanese automotive engineer Yasuzabrou Kobori developed an airbag "safety net" system that used an explosive to inflate the airbag, for which he received patents in 14 countries. Unfortunately, Kobori died in 1975 before seeing his ideas put into practice or widely adopted. In 1971, Ford Motor Company built an experimental fleet of airbags. General Motors installed airbags in a fleet of 1973 Chevrolet Impalas - for government use only. The 1973 Oldsmobile Toronado was the first car with a passenger airbag sold to the public. General Motors then offered a driver's airbag option in larger Oldsmobiles and Buicks in 1975 and 1976, respectively. The technology has only improved since then, giving hope that the future of cars will be even safer than they are today.
