Most of us would be able to resonate with the idea of airbags on the inside of a vehicle, but airbags on the outside. How is that suppose to protect you, the driver. Perhaps it is more of protecting pedestrians than the driver, but that is just my speculation. Humanix of Japan is the company behind this tiny electric car that has airbags on the body. According to Humanix, they claim their creation, the "iSAVE-SC1", to be the "safest electric vehicle in the world".
