BMW Assist Extends Automatic Collision Notification to Include Risk of Severe Injury Algorithm.

BMW of North America today announced that 2009 and later model BMW vehicles (excludes X3) feature BMWs unique Risk of Severe Injury calculation when equipped with the BMW Assist™ system. If an accident occurs, this BMW-exclusive system collects data from on-board control units and transmits it automatically to the BMW Assist response center. There, the data is evaluated using a unique algorithm to determine the probability of severe injury. Rescuers can now be informed not only of where an accident took place, but also the risk of severe occupant injury.
