Watch Takata's Defective Airbags Explode in Slow Motion

Wired  

Yesterday, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced that it has expanded its investigation into defective Takata airbags that have prompted the recall of more than 19 million vehicles manufactured by 12 automakers. The airbags---as you can see in this dramatic video shown during yesterday's briefing---sometimes explode instead of inflate, showering passengers with potentially deadly shards of plastic and metal. Battelle in particular is working on large lot tests---procedures that allow it to test dozens of airbags in rapid succession, instead of one-off tests like the one above. While the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration hasn't explicitly tasked Battelle with identifying the root cause of the airbags' explosive malfunction---just designing tests---its experimental procedures offer some hints.
