Does the onboard computer report that the airbags have deployed? Sudden deceleration + airbag deploy = 911?

- Peroni 14y agoDoes the onboard computer report that the airbags have deployed? Yes the ECU has a state that detects airbag deployment but even the airbags can have a false deploy (see the most recent episode of Top Gear for a prime example).
- danielweber 14y agoHonestly, any airbag deploy should be a call to 911. I think it's how OnStar works. Airbags are dangerous. Not as dangerous as not having one when you are in a car crash, so don't go taking yours out. I'm related to an engineer who worked on deployment, and the manufacturers worried a lot about only doing it in cases of true crashes. They aren't perfect but nothing is.
