iSAVE-SC1 Cushioned Car Video and Pictures
A Japanese company called Humanix [JP], in cooperation with Hiroshima University, has developed a small electric car that “wears” airbags on the body. I am not really sure if the result can be called pretty, but Humanix is claiming that (perhaps rightfully) their ”iSAVE-SC1” is the “safest electric vehicle in the world”.
The three-wheeled car offers enough room for three people and comes with inflated airbags on the front and rear, while the body is covered with tent cloth. Upon collision, the idea is that the air released from the bags will soften the impact.
The iSAVE-SC1 reaches a top speed of about 50km/h and can be charged using conventional 100V power plugs.
Humanix is planning to sell the first cars in November (in Japan only) for US$10,400 before starting “mass-production” sometime next year. The company also set up a US unit in April this year in San Francisco.

I think this car is not appropriate to drive in the road. Accidents are always on the road. I think first ever move to make a car is that to be sure the safety of the driver and it's passenger. But it's kinda cute..
