That's an interesting design. I can't believe the Japanese have actually invented something.

That's a pretty damn good idea. Shooting the air bag more towards the shoulders than the face, but your shoulders are gonna hurt like hell.

BOOBS , anyways.....the japs made something that doesn't involve humans getting lazier, awesome. Great idea IMO, this looks like it'll stop thos horrible neck injuries associated with air bags.

I can see what happens when korean car makers try to copy the design for their "lexus-like clone". There'll be 2 air bags alright but they're so far apart, your head will just get stuck between them

If the bags hit your head at an interval you head will be twisted and your neck will be snapped instantly.

I foresee this design being recalled after the first few people die - just the same way when first airbags became popular the first thing many of us said was what about smaller drivers being killed - and we were all assured "No - airbags are tested and designed to not harm you".

Well - we learned differently.
