Most cars I've seen use ultrasonic occupancy sensors. You can buy these for house alarms too (my garage has one). However, I'm not sure they will be any more useful than a conventional PIR for occupancy detection, since like PIRs, they only detect movement.

I was sitting in my car the other night and happened to notice the alarm's
internal occupancy sensors. Could these be butchered to work in a house or
do these just operate on the same principles (and therefore as successfully
or otherwise :-S) as regular alarm PIRs ??

Just a thought.
