airbags

Airbags are safety devices in vehicles designed to inflate rapidly during a collision, providing a cushioning barrier between passengers and hard surfaces, such as the steering wheel or dashboard. They are made of flexible fabric and are usually located in the steering wheel, dashboard, and side panels. When a crash occurs, sensors detect the impact and trigger the airbag to inflate within milliseconds. This helps reduce the risk of serious injuries to passengers by minimizing the force of impact. Airbags work best in combination with seat belts, making them a critical component of modern automobile safety systems.
