“You hear that, auto-makers around the world? You’re doing it wrong, airbags go on the OUTSIDE of the not the inside! At least according to Japanese company Humanix, whose golf-cart-like vehicle, iSAVE YOU, is covered in airbags. Researchers from the University of Hiroshima formed the venture company to sell their innovative creation for $9,740 USD. Professor Tsutomu, president of Humanix, told Japanese magazine Sponichi Annex that ‘the car will be perfect for our rapidly aging society and that there are already many requests for it from the elderly and disabled.’ The cushions covering the vehicle are made of a tent fabric and sponge, and will absorb shock waves in case of an impact, protecting both the passengers and pedestrians. The iSAVE YOU can run up to 18 miles on a single charge and and can be recharged from any regular household electrical outlet.” w/ photos + video
