eCall - saving lives through in-vehicle communication technology

In the near future, your car will have an electronic safety system that can automatically call emergency services if you have an accident. Even if you are unconscious, the system informs rescue workers of your exact whereabouts, and the ambulance and the fire brigade will be on their way in minutes. This system will work anywhere in Europe, even if you cannot speak the local language. All this thanks to "eCall", a system now being rolled out across the European Union.
