Google has developed a unique bonnet for the car.
The American Company Google in the United States received a patent for “hood-Velcro, which makes it possible to protect pedestrians from the “secondary effects” – falling on the asphalt, dropping or falling under the wheels after a collision with a car.
New development in the company plan to use in the design of unmanned vehicles.
Bumper, left and right front fenders and hood will get the cover of a special small cells filled with sticky substance. What kind of material will be used by Google in the patent did not elaborate. This layer of the cell with glue will be covered by a thin protective membrane that prevents adhesion to the machine insects or small animals.
It is assumed that in the collision the pedestrian will break the protective layer, and then through the hole immediately will act as glue and glued the man to the car. Thanks to this, the pedestrian will not receive serious damage, which, according to statistics, more often occur as a result of “secondary effects”.
