The technology shown by the Survival Consultants International people may be geared towards the military vehicles but I wouldn’t be surprised it the same technology would soon be applied to commercial and private vehicles. With the world getting to be a dangerous place to live in, it is apparent that advanced modes of safety has become a need with reference to world terrorism.
We are aware of airbags and how they are set off once cars get into accidents or collisions. With this new technology, the airbags were designed to withstands blasts for military personnel which could be typified to the various bombings which has been plaguing the world. No one can tell when such would hit the public but perhaps a safer interior airbag system of the same nature would be suitable.
The key here is the sensor, allowing the system to make use of the light sensors to ignite the airbags to safeguard the vehicle passengers. Leave it to the car manufacturers to pick up a thing or two from this and apply it to the modern day vehicle. It is something that will really be useful.

The Nissan Cube plays a key appearance and part at the 40th Annual Comic-Con Convention together with NBC’s Heroes, hosting a series of events as well like sweepstakes and providing giveaways to onlookers at the NBC Heroes booth.
The partnership allows most comic book and automotive fans to catch a glimpse of the Nissan Cube. This includes the asymmetrical design as well as standard features that include the Bluetooth Hands-free Phone System and the interior accent-lighting system that comes in 20 different shades.
Clips from Heroes featuring the Nissan cube will be broadcast on a massive plasma screen – demonstrating that boxes don’t always have to be square. Now that is something that Nissan may easily attach to the Nissan Cube or can be perhaps a marketing cliché in the coming months.
The best way to make people aware about hybrid and green efforts as far as eco-friendly vehicles is concerned is to showcase them at relevant events such as 12th Annual Car Show in Lynden, WA. Originating from Canada, visitors of the said car show caught a glimpse of the celebrated Green Interactive Hybrid System (GIHS) which incidentally was well-received.
The Company plans to use this as a launching pad for marketing the product throughout Canada, and once successful we will seek the license rights to North America. This is amongst the first of many industry shows contemplated by the company to further the exposure and roll-out of the revolutionary GIHS technology.
And to expand the exposure of this new green technology, the GIHS will once again be showcased at the Northwest Washington Fair, in Lynden, Washington on August 17, 2009.
