Are we running out of safety innovations to make? Because !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! seems to be reaching a bit. It’s called PRE-SAFE Sound, and the way it works sounds like a device they would use on the show Fringe.

When the car detects an imminent crash it blasts a certain frequency of pink noise through the speakers. This triggers a reflex that causes our ear bones to contract and effectively disconnects our hearing for a short while. This is intended to reduce hearing damage that may be caused by the crash.

If it’s safety related in any way, I’m fine with it. Lexus made knee airbags and you don’t see me complaining about it.

But if they’re coming up with stuff like this it must mean we’re approaching peak safety. Innovations are gonna be getting incrementally smaller and smaller until they stop.

No, it doesn’t mean that at all.

Not to be outdone, Volvo has trained elves to plain soothing violin concertos when a crash is imminent.

Before getting axed, Saab was developing a unit in the center console that would dispense blankets and hot chocolate after a crash.

This actually seems like a great idea, if a bit over-the-top.

Ah yes, because when my car is about to crash, what I really need is a distracting sound to abruptly overwhelm my senses.

No they’re going to put a rhino on the top of the car, when a crash if detected the rhino will be launched toward the threat. The rhino will destroy , or deflect it so it won’t hit you,
