Toyota Presents Safety Device With Industry-First Rear Airbags
It initiated with the first airbags that came out of steering wheels in an
event of a hit. It carried on with the introduction of rider side
airbags and, later on, side curtain airbags. Now, Which is the only
angle left to protect you? Naturally, the back.
Toyota wishes to completely plunge you in airbags, it appears, because the Japanese
automaker has just ushered in the industry’s first airbag designed
specifically for rear-end collisions. Those gas-filled pillows come
gushing out of the back if you happen to find yourself in the
disastrous spot of a rear-ender. The first car to get these back end
airbags will be the Toyota iQ ultra compact microcar, which will be
commencing the safety upgrade by the end of this year.
The airbag is positioned above the iQ’s rear window and it is intended to protect passengers riding in the backseat. I’m not exactly sure how they’d carry out this
in a larger car — the iQ is very small — Can Toyota will find a way.?
