As a Chicago wrongful death lawyer who has seen the aftermath of tragic car accidents, this is a promising report to improve safety on the roads:

The technology protects passengers in a variety of crashes, including severe frontal crashes. ABC News reported that 32 percent of the 5.8 million crashes that occur annually could be reduced or prevented with this technology.
