Most recently manufactured automobiles have what safety feature on the driver's side steering wheel?

• A. No airbag
• B. The driver's side airbag
• C. Both driver and passenger airbags
• D. Passenger side airbag

Answer: (B)

Modern vehicles place the driver's airbag inside the steering wheel, designed to inflate quickly in a frontal crash to cushion the driver’s head and chest. Because the question asks what safety feature is on the driver's side steering wheel, the correct answer is the driver's side airbag. The passenger airbag is mounted in the dashboard or on the passenger side, not on the wheel, so while many cars do have both airbags, the feature specifically on the steering wheel is the driver's airbag. This reflects how airbags are distributed to protect occupants in different seating positions while keeping the wheel area as the primary location for the driver’s protection.
