Autoliv develops airbags for pedestrian protection
12th May 2008
The Swedish airbag specialist Autoliv is reported to have developed an airbag to inflate under the car's bonnet, reducing the impact on any pedestrians or two-wheeler riders who land on it. Another, at the base of the windscreen, stops the victim’s head going through the glass. The bags are triggered when sensors detect that a person is heading towards the car after being hit, according to The Times’ website, which quoted a spokesman for Autoliv.
