Airbags on the front bumper of the car would be nice. Would make accidents much more quiet.

You could have them outside the doors of the car, too.

What fun to strike pedestrians, have the bags pop, and launch the hapless people into the fowerbeds.

On 2/19/2006, [PSU_ME] created an account, proceeded to annotate or link on five ideas, and then was bounced out of the Halfbakery into the "fowerbeds" by an airbag and never heard from again.
