When looking for a new or used car, the price, features, and comfort are all taken into consideration, but at the end of the day, I want to know that the car I am buying will keep me safe.
With that in mind, GM has announced that the 2013 Chevrolet Cruze will come with a “smart” airbag as a standard feature. Typical airbags can actually cause injury to the driver if they are not seated the proper distance from the front airbag, but these new airbags use a flexible vent so that the driver’s momentum will push the air out.
GM General Director of Vehicle Safety Gay Kent has praised the new airbag as a “smart way to manage crash forces,” and GM is marketing it as an “industry first” in safety technology.
When it comes to airbag injuries, it is important to remember that airbags are most effective when passengers are wearing their seat belts. The large majority of airbag injuries occur when the driver or passenger was not wearing a seat belt, and even with the new technology in Chevy’s airbag system, it will not work properly if seat belts are not worn.

The Silverado has been a popular truck for Chevy, winning the 2011 Motor Trend Truck of the Year and numerous other “Truck of the Year” honors from Car and Driver and the International Car of the Year awards.
Back in high school, I had a friend who refused to wear a seatbelt. No matter what he was told about safety and statistics about car crashes, he would not wear a seatbelt. His reasoning was that he had a dream once where he had crashed his car into water, and in the dream, he couldn’t get out of his seatbelt.
