airbag

I talked to some people on the EVDL, and they told me that the airbag is VERY difficult to get to work on an EV. It's not a matter of just running into some old lady and having it go off. The computer's decision to make the airbag go off also involves some complicated signals from the engine, which of course will no longer be there. It may not be true, but that's what the EVDL peeps said.
