Automatic Crash Notification Is Now On Your Cell Phone
Car safety has come a long way since the seatbelt. The technology going into the airbag is staggering, and in the fierce competition to create the safest, most cutting-edge car technology, the winner has been us, the consumers. Safety features react faster to a collision than you can, and innovations in car safety are still happening. Some higher-end cars now include automatic collision notification (or automatic crash notification, depending on who you ask), which detects a crash and automatically calls emergency response for you. But even as consumers are beginning to find out about this technology, the next step in automobile safety has already been taken: putting this technology in a smartphone app called My911.
