These airbags cover the door of the vehicle, in very short time when the problem is that it can be deployed. Designers at TRW Automotive are working on radar and camera systems to determine when exactly airbags need to be activated automatically.

The manufacturer expects this type of airbags to be equipped for high-end sedans in Germany by the end of the decade. The Daily Mail quoted TRW Automotive's vice president as saying that the statistics show that 37-40% of all car accidents happened in the crash.

The project is funded by the European Union (EU), launched three years ago in Spain. The airbag is being tested 200cm long, 70cm high, 15-20cm thick and when it comes out it contains 200 liters of air. Last year Volvo introduced the V40 with their V40. The sensor is mounted in the front bumper and on the bonnet, when it detects danger it will automatically control the airbag. The airbags inside the car were also released at the same time to protect the driver.

According to the Dail Mail, TRW Automovie believes that in the coming years, new models will be equipped with multiple safety systems to help protect the driver and passengers, while protecting pedestrians from car crash. .
