ABSTRACT:
This invention is a method and apparatus for detecting the impending impact of a moving vehicle with another object whether the moving vehicle is approaching, or being approached by the vehicle containing the apparatus for such detection. It is further characterized by the placement of impact air bags between the body and the forward or rearward bumper of the vehicle and by an apparatus and method for partially filling such air bags so as to prepare such vehicle for impact with another object or vehicle. The actual impact between the vehicle and said other object further rapidly fills the air bag to its fullest capacity in order to allow the minimal damage to the two vehicles and the passengers therewithin.
