I see. So, from a safety perspective, the only airbags we lose are the ones built into the seats? Also, what is the advantage of selective airbag deployment over deploying all of them?

Also, I wonder if it's possible to purchase occupancy sensors from the dealership to install on aftermarket race seats. Thoughts?
