a long time ago, i was told that brain box in other vehicles housed the accelerometer to know when to deploy airbags, which is why they're all mounted near the centerpoint of the vehicle. so moving it would skew the datapoints, which could result in a number of unsatisfactory ways of airbag deployment or non-deployment.
