Imagine this: as soon as someone settles into a chair or a car seat, the safety begins! It works on the premise of an electrostatic coupling: when pressure is applied, it interrupts the interface between the top and bottom circuits of the sensor. This effectively forms a loop that informs other devices that the seat is occupied; it accomplishes this in a simple, inelegant way that is, nonetheless, elegant in its simplicity. In a car, for instance, this signal is vital. It integrates with various systems, such as the seatbelt warning system, driver assistance system, etc. ensuring that safety measures are appropriately activated.
