Abstract
A seatbelt drive interlock system for adjusting airbag deployment power based on occupant presence and seatbelt usage enables communication between a plug-and-play stand-alone computer and numerous vehicular electrical systems. Airbag power deployment mode is determined by seatbelt compliance. In addition, seatbelt compliance determines whether the vehicle may enter a drive (forward) position.
