Engineering ingenuity goes hand in hand with the saying, Necessity is the mother of invention. I say, let engineers have at occupant protection — including protection of occupants in the other vehicle.
How about this external airbag on a truck — or some version thereof? Along with installation on the passenger vehicles, I’m thinking this could do much to improve crash survivability.
“Designed to be deployed externally from the side of the vehicle, this airbag helps serve as an additional crumple zone in the event of an accident.”
