If you thought being covered in case of car accidents by the frontal, roof and rear window airbags, General Motors has got something new that will roll out in 2013 on some selected vehicles; the front center airbag.
What could it possibly be good for, you ask. Well, apparently it will protect you from… your passenger. GM’s studies show that in case of side impact crashes you will probably bump your head against your right seat passenger. So not only will the new airbag protect the both of you, but it will also come in handy if you’re alone in the car as it will keep you in your seat and, thus, protect you from other potential injuries.
The GM officials motivate the new implemented airbag by the significant number of fatalities that occur in side impact crashes.The Buick Enclave, GMC Arcadia and Chevrolet Traverse will come equipped with said center airbag.
