Recently, Fast Technology learned from relevant sources that Porsche applied for a new patent that can improve the protection ability of vehicles in the event of pedestrian collisions, thereby reducing the harm caused to the human body.
According to the published patent diagram, Porsche designed a movable structure, which is usually hidden in the spoiler under the front bumper, and when the vehicle encounters a pedestrian, it will pop out in the same direction as the vehicle to protect the pedestrian.
To explain in layman's terms, when the vehicle hits the pedestrian head-on, the lower body and legs of the pedestrian may have serious deformation, resulting in serious injury or death, and the movable structure applied by Porsche will actively pop up when the impact occurs, and the lower body of the pedestrian will be protected, thereby reducing the degree of injury.
It is understood that the patent may be used for the first time in Porsche SUV models.
In fact, since the birth of the car, engineers have a variety of explorations around the protection of pedestrians, and in the early years, there were even models that installed protective net pockets on the front of the car, and in 2016, Google's brain hole was wide open, imagining that after hitting people, people would be "glued" to the engine canopy to avoid causing secondary injuries.
Whether these patents can become a reality or not, there is one thing that everyone needs to keep in mind when driving: safety is no small matter, and driving cautiously is ultimately right.
