Hi All,BigGrin

In the next couple of years all new cars will be able to call the emergency services if this new system is implemented.

I see the sense in this innovation, as it would get emergency services to the scene quicker. Especially useful if a single car accident happens and nobody is about and the driver unconscious.

As with everything there is a faction worried about people`s privacy.Confused Confused Confused Confused

A call for help

Exactly !!!!Blink and the last thing that would be on my mind, if I was upside down hanging by my seat belt, would be my privacy.

Yes they will probably text the nearest cop to give you a speeding ticket.
