Technology:
It
is not too much to emphasize the importance of seatbelt and air bag for the safety
of driver and passenger. Takata, one of Japan’s leading makers of vehicle safety
devices, developed an air bag in collaboration with GM of the U.S. to prevent a
collision between the heads of driver and passenger. The new air bag inflates to
create a partition between the driver and passenger when the vehicle is hit by
the side. GM adopted this air bag, saying that it decreases the fatal accident
due to side crash by 30%.
Takata developed a new air bag that plays the roles of an air bag and a seatbelt simultaneously. Named airbelt, Takata’s new product inflates the air bags built in the seatbelt around the shoulder and chest when the vehicle is hit. It enlarges the area between the seatbelt and the wearer to diffuse the impact on the chest. Vehicle safety technology is developing on a daily basis.
