According to Dainese the development of the decision-making hardware and software alone required three years, with data gleaned from trials used to perfect the trigger signal algorithm which decides when to deploy the gas inflated airbag.

All the impact areas are still hitting the ground! All I see is something made for prevent whiplash or something.
