"eCall -- Cars that 'dial' 112"

eCall is an electronic safety system in your car that can automatically call emergency services if you have an accident! Even if you are unconscious, the system can inform rescue workers of your exact whereabouts. As a result, crucial response time is saved because the ambulance and the fire brigade can be on their way without the need for any human intervention. If eCall was available in all cars, 2500 lives could be saved in the European Union every year.

The eCall-system is currently being rolled out across the EU. It is one of the most important road safety actions under the European Union's "e-safety" initiative. eSafety seeks to improve road safety by applying "intelligent" safety systems based on advanced electronic technologies to road vehicles.

Of course, but in beginning they planned it for 2012. and the member states never have to agree to anything, the eu directive for the data rentention? bank data transfer to us? who accepted it?

Bruessel makes the decision, the member states just have to follow it.
