Delphi has an existing Seat Mounted Side Impact Airbag.....a combo head-torso bag, deployed from the seat. No rollover protection claims. Subject to all the deficiencies of side impact airbags. No problem, and not an Autoliv situation. Delphi shows no competing technology on their website.

The ITS will be part of Delphi's "Advanced Safety Interior"....."The technologies will be available to OEMs on a global basis between now and 2007."....."Rollover Sensing System...Will detect an impending vehicle rollover using inertial sensor technologies. When the system detects an impending rollover, it will command deployment of occupant restraint devices to help minimize rollover-type injuries."

That's it for ITS type stuff. Recognizing the Delphi website is old news, and having read this before at the SAE Congress last month, it seems to me that Delphi has nothing in the mill competitive with the ITS.....we avoid the "not invented here" problems, AND "BMW made me use Simula" (or whatever the real motives for Autoliv's behavior were) problems, with this Delphi deal.

So far, so good..... N.O.....Post up the existing Delphi customers for the "Interior and Lighting Systems Group", if they can be identified. I don't think the other 200 Delphi manufacturing facilities will be relevant.

They're going to have to shoot us again; this turkey can still fly. <G> mcd
