Sure, but that's tangential to this sub-thread. The GP is taking the nanny-ware as a given, and narrowly asking why the passenger isn't allowed to bypass it.

Sure, but that's tangential to this sub-thread. The GP is taking the nanny-ware as a given, and narrowly asking why the passenger isn't allowed to bypass it. I'm pointing out that cars don't have a is_occupied_by_human(), just car_seat_weight() and seat_belt_in_use(). That it works this way isn't obvious to anyone who hasn't looked into it.

Um, except they actually do, and its used to control safety-related equipment (passenger=side airbag), safety notifications (passenger airbag and seatbelt lights), and alarms (passenger seatbelt not in use when seat occupied alarm). It may not be wired into the infotainment system, though.
