There is no doubt about it. Technology has played a major role in saving lives as far as car collisions and accidents are concerned. Score one for the advancements on how to improve the safety of drivers and passengers as far as deformations, accessories and measurements should such things happen.
This is further justified with claims by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. According to their report, vehicles with Automatic Crash Notification Systems have improved the potential of whittling down the number of accidents and deaths from car mishaps.
The technology, developed by OnStar, transmits exact locations and the characteristics of the crash from the vehicle to emergency personnel. This crucial information helps rescue crews to administer the right type of aid at the scene and provide the trauma center with valuable information as well. The system can also be used to help determine if the occupants need to go to a Level One Trauma Center or if they can get the right care at a typical emergency room.
