Claim 16:
17. A method comprising:
receiving sensor data from a sensor associated with a vehicle;
determining, based on the sensor data, a predicted interaction between the vehicle and an object;
causing, based at least in part on the predicted interaction, a first inflator to inflate an expandable curtain from a first stowed state to a first deployed state; and
causing, based at least in part on the predicted interaction, a second inflator to inflate an expandable bladder from a second stowed state to a second deployed state in which the expandable bladder nests between a first side of the expandable curtain and a second side of the expandable curtain, the first inflator being different than the second inflator, wherein the first inflator operates independent of the second inflator.
