Back Seat Airbag   (+5, -1)  [vote for, against]
Ideal for back seat drivers

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?

[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!""
