Well it finally happened...
An external airbag for pedestrians. Now you can feel safe to walk and even if you are hit injuries will be minimized.....
"Protecting Pedestrians
The sleek rounded front of the Volvo SCC was designed for more than good looks--it was specifically built without any sharp edges to protect pedestrians in the event of an accident. In addition, an external airbag has been installed that deploys between the hood and the windshield to prevent the victim from hitting his head on the windshield. A sensor at the front of the vehicle activates the airbag."<ul><li><a href="http://carpoint.msn.com/advice/standardart.aspx?contentid=4021167&src=msn">Fu ll Article - Taking Automobile Safety to the Next Level</a></li></ul>

I'm thinking thats a bad idea...
Airbags are $$$ to replace (and they ususally do damage to the car when they deploy). So now if you get into a minor fender bender or bump your car into a pole or something its going to cost thousands more to repair. Good thinking.
I say screw the pedestrians... if they can't get out of the way they deserve to be hit :P
