After Honda revealead it’s sequential inflating airbag just a week ago, it’s arch rival Toyota has come out with a unique rear window curtain shield airbag which will protect the rear passengers’ heads in the event of a collision. Toyota is calling this aribag as ‘the world’s first’ and will use it in the upcoming Toyota iQ hatchback. Later on we will see this rear curtain airbag used on other Toyota models as well as by other manufacturers. The rear window curtain airbag will help in protecting the rear passengers from rear end collisions as well as from broken parts hitting them after an impact. Normally the focus has been on the safety of the front passengers but with this new innovation, the safety equation within a car will be more balanced.
