Re: Impact detected
From what I understand onstar has numerous impact sensors, front and rear, not just for the airbags. I've heard of this happening a few times in off-roading situations (like where a guy is breezing through a pasture and hits an unexpected rut...truck is fine, but it was a pretty solid jolt) They have the sensors so that in a worse wreck they can help the responders by letting them know what they're getting into and what to take with them depending on the type of crash. This was implemented after Onstar went to paramedics and said "what information is helpful when responding." Did Onstar identify where the jolt was felt? Personally I think the benefits of this system (helping in a serious accident) out-weigh the cons (interrupting a good song to make sure you're alright)...
