Switl external airbag
Save the pedestrians from being hit by your vehicle and also from being thrown along the road afterward | |
An external airbag for motor vehicles has been
suggested[1],
but a problem with it would be that it would cause any
pedestrians struck by a vehicle so equipped to be thrown
further, likely nullifying the benefit of a softer collision
with
the vehicle by causing a harder collision with the
road.
I trust you all know what a switl is, or can find out.
I propose an external airbag that acts as a switl, rolling
out
along the road surface as it inflates to smoothly scoop up
the
pedestrians (along with strollers, wheelchairs, etc.) and
safely lift them up and then deposit them once the
vehicle has
come to a stop.
