Automatic Crash Response Advisor

Also called: OnStar Emergency Advisor, Connected Car Emergency Advisor

Answers when a car's built-in sensors detect a crash, talks to the people inside, and sends police and ambulances to the exact spot.

A day in the life

When a connected car's airbags go off, it automatically calls a center. Advisors see the car's GPS location and crash data, speak through the car's speakers, and stay on the line with injured drivers until help arrives. They also handle stolen-car tracking and roadside emergencies.
