Great presentation.
interesting to note the occupant detection algorithm. It implies that they use the seat belt buckle as well as weight sensors. I wonder how long it will be before someone sues MB because they were to stupid to put on their belt and smacked the windshield.
Maybe darwin worked in the design group " Yahh lets see now, we detect zee weight but the belt is not clipped ... didin't pass IQ test. no sense wasting an airbag. "
