Great system, Steve. It might be helpful to augment POSISAPS by a bunch of airbags on the OUTSIDE of the car, like a Mars lander or something.

Those crazy Germans (and Joe) think of everything!

Sorry for the diversion, but I have it from a knowledgeable source some of the technologies under consideration for the next S-class (2011-12). They've prototyped things like a "god's eye" on board display utilizing merged images from multiple camera feeds with automatic crash avoidance- basically an amped up version of Pre-Safe with steering control also. Ultimately the goal is to have on board telemetry both for crash avoidance and to facilitate denser packing of cars on the Autobahn under computer guidance with the theory being that it will improve traffic flow and reduce the need for roadway expansion. Talk about nannies!
