In "Killer Cars" Thom Yorke and crew meditate on some of the worst case scenarios that could happen in traffic with lines like "this could be the last time you see me alive/ there could be an idiot on the road" and "I couldn't cope if you crashed today." In "Airbag," the titular object provides a happier ending as Yorke sings "In a fast German car/ I'm amazed that I survived/ an airbag saved my life."
