Nathan Armstrong said airbag companies will not engage with a small startup company (except Tacata). What does this mean? Does this mean they simply will not sell to a small company? Why? Apparently this forces Aptera to resort to seatbelt airbags which are only for cushioning the force of the seatbelt and does not protect the person's head from hitting the steering wheel. Does this mean the steering wheel has a place inside it to hold an airbag but it will be emply? Will I be able to get an airbag retrofitted when airbag companies finally start selling airbags to Aptera?
Okay, line 190 of Aptera's FAQ Spreadsheet says "We will not know Aptera's actual rating until we pass a production vehicle through the full safety test. But we are designing to exceed all passenger car standards...Aptera also makes use of today’s best forward and side airbag systems in case of an accident."
