EU-mandated automated emergency call technology, eCall, is expected to reduce response time to road accidents by up to 50 percent and help save up to 1,500 lives per year.

Upon detection of an accident (e.g. when an airbag deploys), the eCall system establishes a voice connection directly with the 112 emergency number (the equivalent of 911 in the US). Even if no…
