Watch A Cadillac CTS-V's Airbags Explode During A Pre-Wedding Autocross

man I bet he feels so much safer since those airbags are there. I surprised the ecu didn't close the throttle and say sorry you can't drive that fast.
Something similar happened to one of the Hennessey cts-v's on the drag strip. Can't remember exactly, but I know onstar called while they were racing, lol.

I worked in valet, and know a driver once drove a mercedes too fast around a corner causing the roll bars to pop up from behind the head rests. I'm guessing the same thing happened here, car thought it was going to be in a roll over, and deployed the safety features (air bags and seatbelt tensioner).
That is why I dislike any of the computerized stuff in the cars these days. I don't want someone controlling how I use my car, if I pay for a car, I want to use it however I want.
I don't mind the safety feature. But an "off" switch would be nice.
Wow that sucks!

Didn't something similar happen to a new Camaro?
