The inflatable, energy-absorbing device is configured to, upon actuation thereof by means of a sensor system for detecting approaching or actual impacts, inflate and thereby deploy the front surface of the vehicle in the driving direction of the vehicle. A deployable soft nose structure is also disclosed.
