I thought it was just a passive restraint system. The other answers i'm aware of are goofy - automatic seat belts, a padded bar that rests against your chest and locks on impact, or a cushion car, guaranteeing you'll have enough time to slow down because of huge crumple zones.
Who knows. Airbags are reliable, well understood technology. But maybe there is something better. With an active collision detection system, something else might work better.
