I wish. I am just an 18 year old American teenager who is obsessed with motorcycles/ bike tech as a car and motorcycle enthusiast myself. I just happen to know too much in certain topics. Speaking of Autoliv, maybe I should email them and ask them about this myself, considering that they have a section where anyone can fill in contact details and ask any question they like. I will come back and relay any information I find, to this thread, when I hear back from them. But it will take some time as I have an upcoming Biology exam that I have to study for in a few days, don't mind me, I am a first year college student so I am quite busy at times. Anyways, if you want to know whether I have a motorcycle or not, I plan to get my first bike later in life pretty soon. I am just waiting on these safety tech to come out, then I could wear an airbag vest, airbag pant, and a cooling suit underneath, and my parents would be more pleased with the safety. If you want to know what airbag pant and cooling suit I am talking about, it is things like these: https://traqgear.com/products/ultra-liquid-cooled-top https://cxairdynamics.com/en/produit/cx-free-rider/

Very interesting. This airbag patent, when it comes into production, is going to be revolutionary due to a number of reasons. The biggest benefit that nobody seems to realize or talk about with this airbag system is its placement relative to where the most common injury of a motorcyclist in a crash is, the pelvis. Because this airbag is mounted right on the rear section of the fuel tank, where in a crash, the rider often impacts the tall gas tank, the common and dreaded pelvic fractures that are very serious, can be mitigated to levels for which we never have seen before. This is a huge step forward in motorcycling safety. The airbag cushioning on the gas tank can act like a crumple zone, making the impact less severe in crashes. For more explanation and an in depth analysis on the dangers of high riding gas tanks, here is an article: https://www.motorcycle.com/ask-mo-anything/ask-mo-anything-gas-tanks-and-pelvic-injuries.html Something else pretty interesting I am thinking about is if this airbag system is paired with the Autoliv "bag on bike" systems. If you haven't seen them, you can search them up. I will also provide another link here to show that Autoliv is actually in their final stages of getting ready to mass produce their airbags on the handlebars of bikes starting in quarter 1 of 2025: https://www.autoliv.com/safety-solutions/motorcycles-bikes If these two systems are combined, I cannot imagine how much safer motorcycles will be in crashes. There should probably be more crash testing when these airbags are available to the public and are being used. With all of that out of the way, I would like to ask you a question. Do you currently know of any recent news or developments with this airbag system that Honda patented? I am very curious to see any news about this airbag. My current guess is that we might get more news and even this airbag system in 2025, considering that Autoliv is already planning to release their airbags as soon as next year. If and when Honda releases their new bike with this airbag system, I would buy it in a heartbeat and that would be my new bike. I am a safety obsessed guy with airbags on bikes, so don't mind me.
