A woman was arrested when her car called the police automatically (911) after an accident she had in Florida. Police in Port St. Lucie stated to local journalists that she captured 57 Cathy Bernstein as she attempted (or suspected she had tried) to flee after the accident.
The technology that called the police automatically (911) uses a series of sensors inside the car to monitor sudden changes in motion or whether the airbags of the vehicle involved have been opened.
It then automatically calls the services extraordinary emergency and relays the make, model of the car – in this case, it was a Ford – the time and place of the accident. This then allows the driver of the car to contact the authorities to provide further details.
But Bernstein told police that "everything was fine," before hearing from police, "OK, but your car says you were involved in an accident. Did you leave the scene of the accident? ”
Bernstein replied, "He would not do that."
After the police arrived, the accused was arrested and taken to the detention facilities. The hearing process has not been set yet.
Car manufacturers such as Ford, BMW and Volvo have been using the feature for a few years. However, since March 2018 η εν λόγω τεχνολογία θα υπάρχει σε κάθε νέο αυτοκίνητο της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης.
It has already been legally approved and according to EU will help to prevention 2.500 deaths occurring each year by reducing emergency service response times.
