Microwave beam car stopper tested, fries cars in nanoseconds flat {Engadget}
Dec 5th 2007 1:43PM Actually, the airbags are not controlled by the computer. In older cars they are set off by a pressure switch. In newer cars they are set off by an intertia sensor.
from howstuffworks:
"The sensor is the device that tells the bag to inflate...A mechanical switch is flipped when there is a mass shift that closes an electrical contact, telling the sensors that a crash has occurred."
That said, the microwave might fry the sensor(s), but I think that's less than likely.
