New airbag technology exhibited at Tokyo show

Reuters reports that Toyoda Gosei has come up with a concept car where its body is protected by airbags.

The Flesby II ultra-compant vehicle is covered by a soft, next-generation rubber that can absorb the impact of a collision as well as moving with electric power and absorbing the impact in the event of collision with a pedestrian.

'We put airbags, which are mainly employed inside the car, on its exterior, such as its hood or fender, to protect the entire body,' Takashi Ishikawa, managing officer of Toyoda Gosei Co, said on Wednesday.
