Driver and passenger airbags deploy during a collision when the vehicle's sensors detect a significant impact, typically during a frontal crash. They are designed to activate when the deceleration forces exceed a certain threshold, indicating that the occupants are at risk of injury. Airbags may also deploy in situations involving side impacts or rollovers, depending on the vehicle's design and sensor technology. Their primary goal is to provide cushioning and reduce the risk of serious injury to occupants during an accident.
