My next question is are a car's airbags supposed to go off if it gets "sideswiped by an e-scooter"?

Tbf I’m old enough to have set off airbags on strangers vehicles with a well placed kick to the drivers side headlight when they were first released. They are no longer this way, but they used to be.

Just some perspective.

Haha yeah I remember those good old days. One well placed basketball to the front of a car would be a writeoff. Good times.

My wife hit a concrete mailbox doing like 5 mph, 8 kph and all the airbags went off. All depends on how its hit.
