Hyundai Mobis, a Hyundai Motor Group subsidiary, has introduced a Panorama Sunroof Airbag System. Focused on strengthening passenger safety in a vehicle, the airbag can deploy in 0.08 seconds, protecting passengers from head and neck injuries in a case of a rollover.
How does it work?
The sunroof airbag is quite similar to curtain airbags we see in various cars these days. Just as a curtain airbag protects a passenger’s head from hitting the window during a side collision, the sunroof airbag acts as protection in case of a rollover. Both these airbags do so by forming a cushion between the passenger and the hard surface. The sunroof airbag is placed inside the sunroof and is deployed when the yaw rate sensor detects rollover movement of the vehicle.
