A hood assembly for a vehicle includes a hood having a vehicle-rearward edge, a vehicle-forward edge, and a top side. The hood assembly includes an airbag supported by the hood and inflatable to an inflated position. The airbag extends vehicle-forward from the vehicle-rearward edge toward the vehicle-forward edge along the top side in the inflated position. The hood assembly includes a spooler supported by the hood, the airbag being between the vehicle-rearward edge and the spooler. The hood assembly includes a tether extending from the spooler to the airbag.

The invention relates to a hybrid gas generator (10) which comprises a compressed gas chamber (20) and an igniting unit (30), wherein the compressed gas chamber (20) is closed by a first igniter-side bursting membrane (21) and a second bursting membrane (22). According to the invention, a first, rapidly burning-off pyrotechnic agent (51) and a second pyrotechnic agent (52) burning off slowly in comparison to the first pyrotechnic agent (51) are located in the hybrid gas generator (10), wherein the second bursting membrane (22) is openable by positive pressure which can be generated in the compressed gas chamber (20) and the first pyrotechnic agent (51) is separated from the second pyrotechnic agent (52) in such a manner that the positive pressure in the compressed gas chamber (20) for opening the second bursting membrane (22) can be generated by the first pyrotechnic agent (51).

An autonomous robot vehicle in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure includes a land vehicle conveyance system, a sensor system configured to capture information including surrounding environment information and/or vehicle subsystem information, a communication system configured to communicate with a remote human operator management system, at least one processor, and a memory storing instructions. The instructions, when executed by the processor(s), cause the autonomous robot land vehicle to, autonomously, determine based on the captured information to request a remote human operator, and communicate a request to the remote human operator management system for a remote human operator to assume control of the land vehicle conveyance system, where the request includes at least a portion of the captured information.

An airbag device is to be mounted on a vehicle and includes an airbag, an inflator, and a deformation member. The airbag configured to expand and deploy outward of the vehicle. The inflator configured to supply expansion gas into the airbag. The deformation member provided in the airbag and configured to be deformed by heat of the expansion gas supplied from the inflator.
