In a car crash we have side airbags for side impacts but in cases where there are two or more passengers in the rear, they can end up hitting each other. Toyota’s solution for this is a new rear-seat center airbag which deploys between the rear passenger seats. It is fitted in a fixed rear-seat center console, and will debut in a production Toyota soon. Another first in the world of airbags for Toyota recently was the Toyota iQ’s rear curtain airbag, necessary because the rear passengers are so near the rear window.

AI-generated Summary ✨
The comments mostly support the innovation of Toyota’s rear center airbag as a safety feature, emphasizing its potential to further reduce injuries in accidents. Many highlight the importance of airbags along with seatbelts, criticizing those who underestimate airbags' life-saving benefits, and stress the need for safety education and legislation. Some point out that such features are mainly for high-end cars with two rear seats and express curiosity about its future availability in Malaysia. There is a consensus that airbags are supplemental and must be complemented by responsible driving, seatbelt use, and safety awareness. Off-topic discussions about Malaysian driving habits, airbags not being useful if seatbelts aren’t worn, and skepticism about certain safety features are also present but less relevant to the main subject.
