I hope you're not suggesting that it will move, because that will blow
the original "uses more fuel" argument out of the water...

I know in new Commodores (and I presume other production cars as well),
whenever the airbags are deployed, the doors all automatically unlock,
and the interior light turns on.

In BMWs, the windows also drop two inches so the pressure increase
inside the car when the airbags deploy doesn't blow them (or your
eardrums) out, the battery leads sever themselves with a pyrotechnic
charge and the car calls BMW for help.

Also, If there's no passenger, the passenger side airbags don't deploy.

There's probably a few other things that I've forgotten as well.

Paul is correct. Feel free to point out where he is wrong.
