Abstract

Airbags have been an essential component of automobile safety for a long time since they provide protection that may save lives in the event of a collision. On the other hand, the future of airbags is experiencing a substantial shift as a result of the proliferation of autonomous cars, the development of enhanced driver aid systems, and the evolution of transportation architecture. The purpose of this article is to investigate the shifting landscape of airbag technology and to propose a vision for future developments that will redefine vehicle safety and enhance passenger protection. Even while airbags have been an essential component in lessening the effect of collisions for decades, continued technological improvements promise even more safety than they now provide. The purpose of this article is to highlight the recent advances in airbag design, sensor integration, and deployment tactics. The research envisions a future in which customized airbag systems are able to respond to a variety of accident circumstances, eventually saving lives.
