Car Airbags – Interesting Facts
It seems that just a few years ago air bags in cars were exotic. Today their numbers in some models are up to 10. At first glance, it’s a simple bag made of a smooth, elastic synthetic material. But the fabric of an airbag needs to be very thin and strong, during the accident even the smallest stitches should not not be in the contact area with driver’s face and body. The cushion should’nt also become a trampoline, it must be able to ease the gas pressure on time. In fact, many manufacturers have ceased to sew pillows using the fabric that breaks letting the air out. When packing the airbag they put talc powder to prolong the cushion’s life.
2006 Acura RL
The good: The 2006 Acura RL impresses us with its live traffic display, its voice-command system, and its high-quality audio. It also adds sophisticated collision-avoidance technologies and adaptive cruise control.
The bad: The 2006 Acura RL’s onscreen interface is rather nonintuitive, and its Bluetooth system doesn’t copy over cell phone address books. The engine moves the car fine but feels a little buzzy for a $50,000-plus car.
The bottom line: Our criticisms of the 2006 Acura RL are minor compared to all it has to offer. It’s marketed as a high-tech car and delivers on all fronts, from live traffic on its navigation screen to cutting-edge driving technology.
