When will news media stop falling for this shit?

Oh, yes, when it stops generating clicks. I am part of the problem.

    Airbags are not forbidden in aircraft. They just haven’t been considered to offer enough safety benfit for their weight and cost in most cases. That is starting to change though, and airbags integrated into aircraft seatbelts are becoming more common. They can be found in first class in a number of commercial aircraft, and are sold to be retrofitted into private planes.

    There are many reasons I doubt this car will make it into commercial production, but the airbags will be OK.

      TIL. I was regurgitating what I saw in a video a while back about the Switchblade, which was supposedly 3 wheeled because of the airbag thing.
