To run the main electronics for management of all Airbags in a vehicle, I'll be using EspressIF Systems ESP32 S3 microcontroller a dual-core Xtensa LX7 Core Processors running at 240MHz with 512Kb RAM and of 16MB PSRAM. This MCU has wireless radio capabilities that are disabled on the hardware electronics itself for safety concerns.
In regards to safety against theft the electronics will include a cryptographic IC that will be used to match the car owner's VIN number and with all other open hardware electronic components installed on a vehicle. In practical terms, this means, that in the event of theft, to make a specific open hardware work on another vehicle, will require the replacement of the main microcontroller processing unit without the need for specialized tools and equipment. More information about safety and sensor data validation on this sci. research paper titled "Validation of Experimental Data Origins: A Swarm of DAQ devices able to Deliver Unique Experimental Data using Blockchain‐like Fingerprint ID to a Data Repository".
