Founded in 1993 by Philip W. Kithil, ASCI is currently developing capacitive occupant sensing systems for "smart" airbags, drowsy-driver detection and other automotive sensing applications. ASCI has licensed its technology to five leading automotive industry suppliers of airbag systems, vehicle interiors and glass products to major automobile manufacturers worldwide.

The ASCI sensing technology originated at Sandia National Laboratories where it was first developed for control of robot arms that monitored the integrity of nuclear chemical waste containers.
