Or other passengers. Simply install these in the backs of the front seats, and of course allow for disablement for child seats.

       are they using a belt buckle airbag as has been proposed for airplanes?

       I saw the words "back seat drivers" and I thought of a small bag which deploys to shut the old nag up. which I personally think is a fabulous plan. so I'm voting for my first impression +

       You have a talking horse in the back seat of your car? Cool.   

       Aren't these (airbags) available, on request, in some of the Benz models?

       This idea got me to thinking about how airbags work so I checked it out on google. Seems like another way to accomplish what you want would be to make a long, slim version clip right onto the front part of a seatbelt. The same wire running to the front airbag could be split and run down along the floorboards to a connecting wire on the clip-on airbag. Your idea seems easier though.

       [UB]: Yes, on the E55 at least. Also available on SAAB.
Also, check (linky).

       The A-class Benz even has airbags mounted in the roof. Of course, they have been known to fall over, when dodging elk.   

       I just read that NCJRS link, [angel]. That's a beauty... "Dammit, Earl, I toldja to shut the fuck up and calm down. Here... THWHOOOMPHHH ! That'll fuckin' larn ya, boy!""
