The invention is aimed at providing protection to pedestrians. The airbag is mounted to the \u201cfender region\u201d and before the side door \u201cto provide protection to a pedestrian from impacting the frontal area of a vehicle structure.\u201d In particular, when an impact is detected, the airbag expels from the fender flap to cushion the windshield wipers and \u201cother sharp pieces\u201d on the front of the vehicle. While the most recent, GM is not the first to introduce pedestrian protection airbags. In 2012, Volvo showcased its V40 five-door hatchback featuring a pedestrian airbag spanning the windshield in a similar fashion. This past August, Mercedes-Benz received a patent for a similar A-pillar airbag. The development of this technology is unsurprising in light of the fact that pedestrian deaths account for roughly one-in-seven U.S. traffic deaths.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>General Motors received a patent last month for an exterior airbag.
