    Abstract: Airbag systems for use in a vehicle that is operable in a manual-steering mode or an automated-steering mode are provided. In one embodiment, an airbag system includes a primary airbag installed in a dashboard of a vehicle. The primary airbag is configured to be deployed when a collision event is detected, and, when deployed, the primary airbag is configured to protect a person seated in a driver seat of the vehicle. the airbag system also includes an auxiliary airbag configured to be deployed when the collision event is detected. During operation of the vehicle in a manual-steering mode, the deployment of the auxiliary airbag is configured to reduce contact between the primary airbag and a steering wheel of the vehicle when the primary airbag is deployed from the dashboard.

    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to net systems. The net system reduces the risk of injury caused by impact with a vehicle to an object or a pedestrian. The net system may include a net configured to deploy in a vehicle's environment in order to reduce the likelihood of an object colliding directly with the vehicle. The one or more energy reduction structures may be arranged on the net, and the one or more energy reduction structures may be configured to reduce injury caused by impact of the object by absorbing impact energy.
