Estimated lives saved by frontal airbags in passenger cars in the U.S. from 2006 to 2016
Note: The 2009 to 2012 estimates of lives saved differ from previously published estimates due to a computational correction. Previous estimates did not properly account for 2010 to 2013 model year passenger vehicles, thus slightly underestimating lives saved by seat belts, child restraints, and frontal air bags.
