Read and translate this extract in written form:
To really enjoy the thrill of relaxed motoring, you need a car with safety systems you can always rely on. So in the BMW 7 Series supreme safety starts with the body shell offering the very best in strength and stiffness. The body of the car is supplemented by a safety system responding more quickly than a human being ever could.
This intelligent system intervenes in the interest of superior safety only where and to the extent actually required, but also ensuring that the correct airbag is activated at the right time. Sensors determine the specific status of the car and the airbag(s) required – with a total of eight airbags on board: driver airbag, front passenger airbag, head airbags (2), side airbags (4). The airbag control unit can be activated to separate the starter cable from the battery in the event of a collision.
