Not that i want Big Brother watching, but I hope the ECU will record the stability control's system state at the time of airbag deployment so the finger can be pointed in the right direction.
Remember the Suzuki Samurai?

Yes, the stability control should be recorded, even before the accident.
Even IF someone was stupid enough to sue Toyota, all they have to do is look at the "block box" records before the crash which will blatantly scream IDIOT DRIVER TURNED OFF TRACTION CONTROL, the judge will then ask WHY they turned it off, and they will lose the case.
Worst case is they make it harder to turn off traction control.
