Ford Motor Company is bringing to market the worlds first automotive inflatable seat belts, combining attributes of traditional seat belts and air bags to provide an added level of crash safety protection for rear seat occupants. The advanced restraint system is designed to help reduce head, neck and chest injuries for rear seat passengers, often children and older passengers who can be more vulnerable to such injuries. Ford will introduce inflatable rear seat belts on the next-generation Ford Explorer, which goes into production next year for the North American market. Over time, Ford plans to offer the technology in vehicles globally.

That's a great idea! Two big pluses: "it spreads the impact force over a larger area" and "is more comfortable than current seat belts which will encourage more seat belt use". I'm more and more impressed with Ford.
sensors in the anchor to determine if the belt is clipped in or not. A technology we already have, ever wonder how your car figures out you have your seatbelt on and stops flashing that light?
