I rear-ended a Mercedes once and the air bags in their car most definitely deployed.

*************************************************

There are no air bag sensors in the rear of vehicles. There are only side and front sensors. Although, I guess if you got hit hard enough from the rear, it might crumble the sides enough to hit the side sensor and deploy them.

The reason you don’t need sensors in the rear, is because you get thrown backwards from a rear end collisions. The seat and head rest is your protection.
