2009 ESF Mercedes Concept Safety Vehicle

The ESF 2009 is the first Experimental Safety Vehicle to be built by Mercedes-Benz since 1974. Like its historic predecessors, it illustrates trailblazing innovations in the field of safety and makes the progress achieved clearly visible. These amazing but by no means crazy ideas include inflatable metallic sections which give more stability to structural components within fractions of a second, as well as the so-called "Braking Bag". This airbag, housed within the vehicles floor, is deployed when a crash is deemed to be unavoidable, and uses a friction coating to support the vehicle against the road surface.

Hmm... Those safety bags remind me of the movie, "Bubble Boy."

Air bags are good, but car makers should also focus more on putting tougher door beams to absorb side impact, to stop cars from making one with the passenger from the side.

why not just stop crashes ... like driving without a person involved. u just use a sat nav and trackers in the road
