Subaru has introduced a groundbreaking external airbag system in its latest Forester model, specifically designed to protect cyclists during accidents. This feature, currently available only in Japan, builds on the company's prior experience with pedestrian protection airbags. The new design considers the dynamics of a cyclist's position during a collision, deploying an airbag on the hood to cushion impacts. Coupled with enhanced visibility features and a commitment to eliminate traffic fatalities by 2030, Subaru is making strides towards safer road interactions for all users.
"Airbags have been proven to be effective to protect the occupants in a vehicle, and there's plenty of testing to show that the same is true for people outside vehicles."
"In a crash, the cyclist usually ends up higher on the windshield. That's why the company redesigned its airbag to cover a larger area."
