Autoliv’s new Pedestrian Protection System combines a hood that opens to cushion impact and a pair of hood mounted airbags to reduce the risk of serious injury when a car comes into contact with an unfortunate pedestrian, cyclist or motorcyclist. The tech’s safety specs are impressive: “From almost certain death to less than a 15% risk of life-threatening injuries in a car-to-pedestrian impact at 40 km/h.” [Autoliv via Autoblog via Inventor Spot]
