The safety factor of a car is mainly considered from three aspects, namely body strength, airbags, and active safety configuration, each of which is indispensable. As the main configuration to protect the occupants in the car, the importance of airbags does not need to be said more by the car uncle, and more airbags are of course more conducive to protecting the occupants.
Recently, the car uncle learned that the Indian authorities proposed that from October 1 this year, all passenger cars produced in the country must be equipped with at least 6 airbags, in addition to the main passenger seat airbags, the Indian government department also hopes that the car manufacturers will provide two side airbags and two curtain airbags to protect the safety of the rear passengers of the vehicle.
It is reported that in 2020, there were 366,000 car accidents throughout India, and caused nearly 132,000 deaths, such a proportion is really somewhat terrifying, the reason is that the Indian market is very sensitive to the price of cars, most of the cars are even less than 10,000 US dollars, which makes the production cost of the car is not high, and its quality can be imagined.
Also as a populous country, the mainland has not introduced relevant regulations, and even some cars are not equipped with airbags at all, which can cause injuries or even fatal injuries to people in the car even in the case of low-speed collisions. It is precisely because of the imperfection of domestic regulations that some car companies are treated differently, such as the recent exposure of the domestic version of Tesla is not equipped with knee airbags, and Tesla's response is "in line with China's new car standards, C-NCAP crash test standards do not require knee airbags, knee airbags do not affect the safety of the vehicle."
