Bosch set a milestone in the history of road traffic in 1980, becoming the first manufacturer of electronic triggering units for passive safety systems. The triggering unit, which consisted of three components having a total of 170 parts, ensured that the driver’s airbag would inflate in emergency situations. It was used for the first time in the Mercedes S-Class. Cars of today have up to eight airbags with separate triggering units.
