A safety system 32 for a vehicle 10 comprising an airbag 34 mounted on a windscreen wiper 22. If a collision is detected such as with a pedestrian or cyclist then the airbag deploys from a stowed position to a protective position with the airbag 34 extending at least across a portion of the outer surface 28 of a windscreen 14 of the vehicle 10 in the protective position. The airbag moves with the wiper and a control unit 40 determines the position of the windscreen wiper relative to the object in the collision; the control unit 40 communicates with an actuator 42 to move the airbag 34 and wiper 22 to the protective position. |
