Occupant protection

The time immediately preceding an accident and the period in which it actually occurs can be as brief as the blink of an eye. Within this diminutive timespan our sensors and processing systems must provide powerful performance in the service of occupant safety. In many cases our occupant safety electronics must measure, analyze and respond in only five thousandths
of a second.

Because these milliseconds can decide between life and
death, we have to use them as effectively as possible:
we anticipate potential danger before an impact occurs.
