What is the acronym commonly used for side airbags?

The acronym commonly used for side airbags is "SAB," which stands for Side Airbag. Side airbags are designed to provide additional protection to the occupants of a vehicle in the event of a side impact collision. They deploy from the sides of the vehicle, usually from the seats or the door panels, to cushion and protect the head and torso of occupants, reducing the risk of serious injury during a crash.

While "SIPS" refers to Side Impact Protection System, and is related to vehicle design and safety features, it does not specifically denote the airbags themselves. "SDAB" and "VSDAB" are not widely recognized terminology related to side airbags. Understanding these terms can enhance your knowledge about vehicle safety features and their functions in protecting passengers during accidents.
