The purpose of air bags in vehicles is to keep passengers and/or drivers safe in the event of a collision. When a vehicle stops abruptly, such as happens when in a collision, the people inside continue to move at the same speed that the vehicle was moving before the collision happened. This can cause many different types of injuries and can even cause someone to fly out of the suddenly stopped vehicle if they are not properly restrained. An airbag provides a "air pillow" for passengers to collide with in the event of a collision, which everyone would agree, is much better than coming into contact with a steering wheel at 25 MPH or faster.
