Abstract
Head-mounted displays (HMDs) are being used more and more for entertainment and work while traveling in vehicles. However, the use of an HMD can be risky in the event of a collision. This disclosure describes a safety system comprising a head-mounted display (HMD) configured to be worn on a passenger's head while traveling in an automated on-road vehicle, a folded airbag, fixed to the HMD, and an inflation system fixed to the vehicle and connected to the folded airbag through a flexible hose. The flexible hose is configured to convey as generated by the inflation system. The system may further detach the flexible hose from the inflation system after the inflation, such that the airbag is no longer connected to the inflation system shortly after the inflation.
