Indeed, only 16 years ago, only 25% of cars were equipped with airbags, and 80% did not have anti-lock braking systems, directional stability systems, sensors and radars,

Recently, scientists from the University of Northwestern in the United States developed
new material, which will help improve cars with a hydrogen engine. Its device is compared to a sponge — the product is able to hold and release a large amount of gas at low pressure.
