The original plan included an airbag for the driver and a kneepad for the passenger. In some photos the prototype has DSV on the front for DeLorean Safety Vehicle. It obviously underwent severe changes between gestation and manufacture! Airbags are a big problem even in cars equipped with them. The "Air Bag" light in my car came on once (I thought it humourous that they used two words -- I thought perhaps I was talking too much), and they said that the module had failed and it would cost $600 to replace. Since it was a $5,000 car I passed and disconnected the power to the module, signing a waiver to let me drive away with a malfunctioning safety feature. Now the truck I drive has an airbag and I kind of wish it didn't. I look forward to driving a DeLorean wth no airbag in it. Then again, since cars have roll reinforcements, side impact beams, and airbags, maybe we could bring back the old-fashioned sharp metal dashboard like we had in the Dart! :D Any ideas? Heh heh.
