The German automobile manufacturer Mercedez-Benz has always been known for quality craftsmanship and luxury, but the brand has also been one of the leading developers of safety equipment for automobiles. Mercedes recently took another engineering leap forward by showing off its newest advancements at its American headquarters in Montvale, NJ. These new features, as part of the ESF 2009 concept vehicle, include:

  • braking bag
  • side doors with gas-fired metal guardrails
  • innovative child safety seat design
  • interior airbags to protect occupants in rollovers
  • shoulder-strap belt airbags for rear passengers

As with all automobile safety features, these components are designed to minimize casualties during automobile impacts by minimizing the forces and accelerations transmitted to the occupants during the impact.
